When we arrived in our room, we had no toilet paper. When we tried to call the front desk the phone didn’t work. The tv reception was in and out so watching a movie was disrupting. We were on the first floor and had to go to the 2nd floor just for ice.

We checked in around 9 o’clock with 2 littles and the process couldn’t have been easier. Hotel staff were very friendly and were great with greeting our little ones. Pool was open till 11 so we were able to get in a swim even though we checked in very late. Room was very nice and clean, they had soap, lotion, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash! Breakfast in the morning was great, lots of options and super friendly kitchen staff. We will 100% be staying here again for our Williamsburg adventures.

The property is very nice. The shower in our room needed some cleaning in the corners. There was not a working ice machine on the first and second floors. An ice machine was installed on the first floor during our stay. The common area was nice. The room was very clean with exception of the shower. The continental breakfast which offered fresh fruit everyday (apples, bananas, oranges) and 24/7 fresh brewed coffee was very good. The hotel is conveniently located in Williamsburg, VA with easy access to dining and shopping. The salt water pool was a hit with my grandson. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful during our stay.

The rooms were clean and it was in a good area. The only odd thing was we were on the fourth floor and you had to take a different elevator. The front desk person didn’t tell us and we had to drag our bags everywhere. Good breakfast.

The location is very convenient to everything Williamsburg has to offer. The cleanliness of the hotel leaves a lot to be desired. The bathroom had pubic hair all in the shower and walls of shower had stuff on them. The handle of the shower was broken. The toilet would not flush correctly. I always take my own cleaning supplies anyway so I cleaned it myself. Also our beds did not have a full set of sheets on the bed and 11pm when we went to go to sleep my husband had to go to the lobby and get more sheets. They offered to move us but it was 11pm so we stayed put. Hotel needs to check behind their cleaning staff.

My family and I had cut our weekend trip extremely short and drive all the way back home. This hotel was extremely unclean, orange mold, hair, and dirt in the shower. An overseer came and cleaned it, then didn’t even wash it out, we had to and OMG! Plus when he walked out he didn’t even say a word! Our AC barely worked, the whole room was musty & smelled of rotten feet and old cheese. The carpet was sticky! We walked outside and condensation splashes you in the face from above out of the AC units. When my family and I arrived the whole hotel stunk. We left and waiting on a refund! I will NEVER stay here again

At first glance the hotel looks great, check in super easy and staff very friendly. The rooms however are in need of maintenance. The showers have mold everywhere, we had to get moved from our first room because 1. No way to control cold and hot water and 2. Huge roach walking on the walls. The second room we were moved into was even worse. The water in the shower wouldn’t drain and you could see the drain hadn’t been cleaned in forever. There was hair and guck left on floor of the shower once the water finally drained. We called for them to fix it, the front desk receptionist came and took

The first room we were put in had someone’s finger nail, some sort of pill on the floor, urine caked onto the rim of the toilet, and pubic hair around the toilet. I showed pictures to management and they moved us to another room. That room was subpar to the cleanliness that we expect at any hotel. The pool had worn bandaids and strings of hair.

The room was great and the breakfast had a lot of choices. The location to sites and restaurants was really good. One slight problem was no hot water in the shower on the last morning. Not sure what happened, but the staff person at the front desk didn't seem particularly concerned when i brought it up at check out.

Breakfast was great, considering it was a hotel free Breakfast. Everything tasted a very high rate better than other hotels ive stayed. Everything was clean and beds great. That being said, our room was terrible. The doors do not even muffel sound, the wall is against the elevator maintenance room, humming all night, the refrigerator rattled all night long. Normally I would have loved this type with a full seperate freezer, but ours had an moter that just rattled. Im a vary laid back person but the first night i was ready to walk out, the management tries, so next time ill request a higher floor.

There was never anyone consistently at the front desk. Usually no one was there and customers had to wait for someone to come out. Front desk was not helpful in checking in customers earlier if possible. The lobby was full of crumbs and the elevator floor had a sticky substance on the floor. Location was convenient to my destination but overall overpriced hotel with poor service and cleanliness in the common areas.

From the moment we checked in, we were greeted by an individual who seemed to be having a bad day or year. Rude and unprofessional pretty much sums it up. Lost his temper double charged and then credited someone else's account. Honestly, I will never recommend this hotel to ANYONE. I felt bad the workers who seem to be working in a stressful environment. Disorganization caused a stressful check-in process. I will be sending a formal dispute with corporate.

We took a chance on this one and we were not disappointed. The staff is so nice and helpful, thank you to Taylor at the front desk. The breakfast is great and well stocked. The rooms are very clean. This hotel is close to everything in Williamsburg. We will stay here again for sure.

I had a very nice two-night stay in July. Front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is secure and I felt safe at all times even though I was alone. I had friends who ended up staying within a couple minutes but I found their hotel noisy and was happier with my choice. Location was very convenient to everything but I spent most of my time in Colonial Williamsburg and Merchant Square which was just minutes away.

Overall the hotel was very clean, quiet, and walking distance to lots of restaurants, movie theater, and a 1.5 mile walk to colonial Williamsburg.

Front desk staff was speedy and efficient. Not sure the drawer in my room was fixed properly, but maybe they need to do more work on it.
