Okay Stay but Wouldn’t Recommend

This hotel felt like the forgotten cast off of the nicer Inn next door. The room was outdated and rundown including a sink that wouldn’t drain and a broken towel rack. There wasn’t any complimentary water bottles and the vending machine was broken so you really need to bring your own refreshments and snacks. The room size was good and it’s certainly a convenient location to Colonial Williamsburg but I was underwhelmed.

Not impressed Hotels.com

I went on her and saw an 8.8 excellent rating. Sorry, this is not true, I should have taken pictures I dropped something behind the bed and had to retrieve it so dirty. It is definitely in need of an upgrade, smells moldy and pictures of the original building on the walls says 1970. My husband said its ok its only for one night. The area defiantly needs newer hotels. I would hope when people see the pictures like I did it is of the main hotel where you check in which was the Williamsburg Inn.

Lovely facility - Friendly Staff - Very convenient

Check in was very good, the staff was friendly and helpful. Our room was enormous and comfortable. It did smell of smoke however (there is a real fireplace in the room). There were small things that could have been improve, The shower shelf was tilted so nothing would stay on it, the toilet was quite low, which matters to older folk. The interesting thing is the guide said Fox News was on channel 22, but channel 22 was MTV. There was a gap in the channel Guide listing between 60 and 65, Guess what FN was 64, so you really had to hunt for it...hmmm

It was very quiet during our stay, which I like. However, the interior is quite old and looks as if it is not clean. There is also no microwave in the room.

Nice to check in at the Inn now, so you can wait there when your room isn't ready on time. Pretty setting. Chipped paint and damaged toilet seat indicate the bathroom could use some sprucing up. Comfortable bed.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The employees were courteous & friendly. The room was spacious but dated. It needed painting and the sofa had spots and extremely stained. The carpet was old, coming up and rolled in a few locations. There is no elevator to the second floor making it difficult for seniors or handicapped folks. When checking out we were charged $ 32.00 per day for parking, use of the pool and gym. We were advised of those facilities when checking in but not told there would be a fee to use them. It is a great location to old colonial section 0f Williamsburg.
