Budget friendly, comfort not so much

This has been our go to place in Williamsburg in the last because it is budget friendly. This time the room was definitely average but more along the lines of what to expect when thinking of a budget. As with most older motels/hotels, room smelt a little musty upon arrival. Room was clean which is a big plus to me. Furnishings were aged but in decent condition. Providing a stand on each side of the bed a side chair to the bed, dresser, desk and a table and chairs to sit and eat if necessary. Room was incredibly spacious which was also nice. However, the bed left a bit to be desired. The sheets were clean, but were very aged and discolored. The mattress was extremely hard and felt like you were laying directly on the floor. At around 11 pm the air conditioner lost power and would not turn back on. When we questioned staff regarding this, they tried to be helpful but just kept saying it would turn on and off when temp was met. Couldn’t get them to understand there was no power to it at all at first. Then they realized it kicked a breaker. Got it fixed and it happened again the next evening. Decided to leave early the last night scheduled. Traveling home beat sleeping on that bed with the air conditioning cutting off.

Don't recommend

Bad right from the start during check in. Clerk charged me an extra $15 for having children. Didn't get the room i paid for. I was suppose to have the signature suite, paid for it before getting there. Received the standard $70 room. When questioned the clerk, he stated he didn't have rhat room available. Granted, check in , is at 3pm., and I arrived at 4:15. The room had a musty smell, very outdated, but otherwise clean. The light in the bathroom had pieces of paper towels in between the fixture and ceiling. No bed bugs which was probably the plus side besides the ac window unit working fine. The bathroom only had 2 towels, there were 5 of us. Went the next morning to the office for more towels, was give only 2 and was told to being those back to the office once we used them. Pretty sketchy to me. Will not stay again when returning to the area.

The management is clearly spending money to try and update this facility. The location is great for historical sites and the parks. I look forward to coming back in the future to see the improvements, but for this summer, you have to tamper your expectations.

We pulled up to the property and immediately did not feel safe staying there. The pool looked absolutely nothing like the pictures, the parking lot was close to impossible to maneuver with my compact SUV, and there were several people staring uncomfortably; my wife wouldn’t even get out of the car. We immediately booked at the Holiday Inn instead.
