Perfect quick trip

My boyfriend and I were looking for a cheap mini-vacation to Virginia for about five days/four nights. We were looking for a place that was a little nicer than your average motel, and I have to say we got that and more at such a great rate with Best Western. I read reviews and was only really concerned about the temperature of the room, but once we got there it was quite obvious there were no problems with the air conditioning. The climate and atmosphere were so comfortable I slept better than I have in ages! All in all, my experience was great. The staff was friendly, the breakfast was fresh and filling daily, the room was spacious and cozy (and came stocked with a microwave and refrigerator which was quite helpful!), and the location was extremely convenient. Name any restaurant or fast food joint, and it can be found within two miles of Best Western Historic Area Inn. I will certainly be staying at this hotel upon my next trip to Virginia. My boyfriend and I are truly grateful for the amazing hospitality!

Great stay at Williamsburg

The stay was excellent. The staff went above and beyond our expctations. They accomadated everything we had questions on. The breakfast was hot eggs, sausage, french toast sticks. They also had yogurt. Our big stickler is the cleanliness of the room, and it was very clean. My one complaint was that my internet service kept coming down, but the hotel was almost sold out at the time we were there so I think it was in overload. We would reccomend it to anyone who is traveling to Williamsburg.

If you are going to colonial Williamsburg, plan more than one day. We only had one day to be there and we could have done more. Also if you want to golf in the area, you can not be in jeans.

OK

Short of the alarm going off, it was OK. We thot it would be within walking distance of downtown Williamsburg, but it was too far away.

Perfect overnight stay

Perfect for a family overnight stay. Great value. We enjoyed the pool and included breakfast. I thought we were booking for $75/night and it ended up being $50/night. Very close to Colonial Williamsburg and Busch Gardens and lots of chain restaurants. Nothing fancy about the hotel itself, but staff was friendly and it was clean.
