The place was nice for being cheap. They are doing some renovations it seems. The carpet needs cleaned really bad. I walked barefoot and my feet were black. The room smelled really musty. Other than those two things, the service was great, the room was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the staff were really friendly.

The room had cigarette burns in the blankets. Walls were dirty. Had to burned up outlet was black on the outlet chair was broke. Door wouldn't lock. Environment was pretty dirty. I think it's I'm very unclean outside. Very dirty people fighting all night. Keeping you up. The guy gave us a Wi-Fi code and it was wrong. There was mildew and the restroom and in the room itself and no coffee pot. Nothing was one of his described online including the king size bed. What wasn't even a queen? It was a double. It was supposed to be a king. No working ice machines. The place was just a real disgrace. I think it should be shut down

Thja has got to be the WORST place I've ever stayed in allthe yeara Ive been coming to Williamsburg. This must be a LIVE IN MOTEL because people were sitting outside in chairs. There was a MAN dressed as a woman prostituting outside. The room smelled HORRIBLE and the decore was old!! DO. NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!

Scary
Room was not so good. Most occupants are probably permanent rentals. Walls paper thin and it was noisy. Went to bed and a big roach ran across the wall. Hard to sleep after that.

I needed to stay a night… I did. I needed a hot shower. Water was hot. I wanted good food choices, they were in the middle of it, from breakfast to dinner. I was happy.
