Worst stay I've ever had. Filthy, broken down, rude, cocktoach infested, disgusting hotel. People came into our room without consent multiple times, and every aspect of the stay was miserable.

This hotel has a great location near colonial Williamsburg and was good for the price. Good room, good breakfast, nice staff-safe location and quiet. But the property needs some work with drIpping AC units as you walk into the building, not all doors to outside working, and a busted door down the second floor hall- assuming it happened recently and was waiting to be fixed. Overall a good stay.

Bed bugs!!

We were very late coming in and at first i thought the staf was friendly letting us chexkin i so late but they charged the car double. Then the room waa very old and dated. The paint on the wall was scratched up and peeling. The beds were a mess and veey uncomfortable. Room was dirty. At first i didnt see any bugs but afte getting home i found a bed bug in my luggage. My worst nightmare. I quickly isolated eveything and dried and sprayed down what i could. But this place is a hell no. Not to mention they dont have breakfast and the pool sucks.

The room was very clean but the bathroom was extremely small. My wife could not get any hot water for her shower the night before we left. The property has great potential but needs a lot of work.

When we got to our room there was a brown stain on the bedspread, the door knob to the bathroom was broken and the door lock to the adjoining room did not look like it was secure. The tub didn’t look very clean either. There was a bug on our bed.

Location was great. Property looks good from the outside. Checking in took a long time. Workers here would smile and nod when asked questions. Roaches crawling everywhere in the breakfast room. A/C was broken in 1 of our rooms. Tried to talk to the front desk guy but he could not understand what i was saying and i couldnt understand what he was trying to say. Spend an extra 20 dollars and stay somewhere else. This place is the cheapest for a reason. I feel horrible i made my kids stay the night here.
