What guests think

Economy Inn suits budget travelers seeking a quiet, no-frills stop with car-friendly access to Williamsburg sights and nearby eateries, offering straightforward rooms and easy parking at a price many found fair for short, practical stays.

Rooms are dated, and cleanliness and maintenance are inconsistent, with recurring reports of dirty floors or tubs, smoke smells in non-smoking rooms, and occasional pests or broken fixtures. Many guests describe staff as friendly and helpful, though a few experienced lost reservations, refund disputes, or room-type mix-ups. Overall, it suits travelers who prioritize function over frills.

Located near where I was working. Vehicle with trailer was safe to park outside the office area. Various food choices within easy driving distance. Room was comfortable (I'm very easy to please) - may not have been for others. Helpful staff member assisted me with the passkey - it took a couple tries to get used to how it worked.

It served its purpose and gave my family and me a place to sleep, the rooms were very outdated, the carpet in one of the rooms was disgusting, broken towel holders, and burns in the sheets. Beds were old and you could feel the springs. The area seemed ok, was very quiet and we had no issues with noise or parking our vehicle. Check-in was easy and fast.

The room was clean and comfortable. The bed felt good, it was a overnight stay. Lots of places to eat close by. But there were freight train tracks close by and you can hear the whistle blowing early morning. But it was a good place to stay and the price was right..

We originally booked a Non Smoking room on Hotels.com website but once we got there, the representative insisted that we booked a Smoking room and that room smelled like people have smoked a lot in it. We finally got a different room which it was okay.

The hotel had good ratings and we only needed the room for 1 night after being at Busch Gardens all day. The room had not been vacuumed. It had ashes on the floor. And the tub had some kinda paper/ trash in it. We slept but left as early as possible.

Decent room ,floor could use mopping. Like the laminate flooring instead of carpet, but it needs regular mopping or it covered in fine grit and dust. Bed was fine, bathroom fine, but dated. Overall decent room and fine for my stay. Check was quit and easy.

"You get what you pay for!" Its kinda like a roller-coaster! Cheaper, if you get it on Hotels.com. Very thin pillows and very thin sheets. No bugs but, I think the bugs are scared of burning to death! The TV is so dark that its hard to see. Old ratty furniture! Im trying to add photos of the BURNT RECEPTACLES but, the "add photo" section of the review isnt working. Trust me, It's SCARY!!!

Was looking for a place near the Colonial Williamsburg Visitor's Center that was affordable & bug free. The room was just that - 16mins from the VC & no major issues. Now the room itself was rundown & had defects, & the shower water pressure was low, but for an affordable place to crash for sightseeing it was good.

Location

Convenient for drivers: outside main Williamsburg but a short drive to downtown, the visitor center, and plenty of eateries and stores; several guests noted a quiet setting, though one mentioned early-morning freight train noise.
