Good location,Good prices

We went on this trip to visit Williamsburg, Busch Gardens and the Winery had a great time. The hotel rooms were fine, the down button on the elevator didn't work while we were there and the front desk knew about it. They need more fruit and yogurt for breakfast. The computers were very slow.

Decent Place in a great location

Stayed here over Halloween weekend 2011 with friends. If you want to visit Busch Gardens/Williamsburg and your looking to spend your money at the park/shops, come here. It's got what most travelers need: clean rooms, decent amentities - freewifi/free parking/cable/indoor pool/hot tub/ free breakfast, and good/helpful staff, This is your place. If you need a deluxe suite with marble bathrooms, stylishly appointed bedroom with linens, lace, picturesque views, room service, a hotel bar, yadda yadda yadda... don't come here. I'd stay here again. It was close to BG, Williamsburg outlets, Captain George's seafood restuarant and a number of waffle houses. (side note: receptionist alexis was super cute and very nice.)

My review of Best Western Historic Area

Was close to Colonial Williamsburg. The breakfast area was way to cramped and the choices were very limited. We decided that we would rather eat at the restaurants close by. Also there weren't any afternoon cookies as advertised. The TV service was terrible and it was cable, but reception so snowy we couldn't watch the programs.

Great Location for the Price

The hotel is in a very convenient location for traveling to Busch Gardens and Water Country USA. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The indoor pool was calm and relaxing. The putt putt is located within 2 minutes from the hotel. I would definitely recommend this hotel for budget minded individuals looking for a clean and comfortable place to stay.
