The address is incorrect on this app. This hotel is on Richmond Road. The app says it is on York Street which has a hotel that is under complete reconstruction.

I will admit when I first saw the property I was a little skeptical however it is a older property it's been around in Williamsburg forever. In this day and age if you're paying $90 for a room you really cannot expect much but at least a clean room and that is what this Howard Johnson provided. I did not get to eat their breakfast but it's smelled good. It is in the area that has shopping, everything that you need if you're on vacation, it is a good vacation spot I did not notice if it had a pool I was only there for one night but overall I would say if you're looking for a budget friendly property that is clean you should give this a try.

We stayed for 1 night as we traveled as a party of 2 adults and 2 kids to Water County USA. We didnt expect much and got exactly that. There is no phone in the room so we texted for extra towels and wash cloths. No response. Non smiking room but the smell of smoke all in the hall coupled with the cigarette butt in the hall was gross. The shower head was horrible and had limited water flow. Thankfully we only stayed a night. The decor was hideous to say the least. The orange is not relaxing/calming at all. Its the same orange as the kids safey patrol badges in elementary. And who puts a coffee maker in the bathroom which was so small my husband (muscle dude) could hardly move around with the door closed. Clearly not using the coffee maker that is so close to the toilet. Gross. The dresser was very old and damaged and the chair had way too many stains that i refused to use. Now the room was clean and it had a full size mini frig with freezer that actually kept things cold. The beds were not bad or we were just way too tired. The location was convenient to highway which was nice. Check in was real quick. Like I said we didnt expect much for 1 night to just shower and lay our heads so we made it work but I dont think we will stay again.

I’m not going back

Firstly, they are lucky to have the staff that they do who are very attentive and willing to help. Unfortunately, the place seemed dirty overall with a lot of things not working. I had to walk down five flights of stairs to get to the only ice machine that worked. In the breakfast area out of the four ceiling lights, only one was working. Not very many amenities and the pool closed way too early to be of any use. It would be hard for me to say that I would return to this particular property again; but I do emphasize as the staff was very friendly! We had problems with the TV in the room and somebody came up to address it within a few minutes

Moldy air throughout the hotel

You get what you pay for. We knew it would be low budget, no frills, but when we got off the elevator and that moldy air hit I felt nauseous. The rooms were no better. I did appreciate the hotel manager arranging extra portable beds. Otherwise you could not pay me to stay there again.

Disappointed stay

I was getting ready to prepare for bed when my grandson noticed something crawling on the nightstand. When I checked the drawer, to my disappointment and amazement I discovered roaches. I have never had this happen to me before. I notified the front desk and checked out immediately. I was told I would receive a full refund.
