The James river hotel formally the King James is almost historical in Newport News. The hotel has been through VERY ROUGH times of people it's time in business. Overall it has truly stood the TEST OF TIME. The age of the rooms would be a five on my scale. However other than that I will stay again as I have done for over 40 years. God bless

Room was ice cold. No blankets on the bed only a very thin bedspread. We thought maybe housekeeping had missed it but when we called down to the front desk attendant said they didn’t have any.

Minor problem was a loose sink faucet handle. Only 2 thin bath towels and washcloths - no hand towels, bath mat or shampoo. Parking spaces are a little narrow. Otherwise no complaints.

The entire experience was unpleasant. Check in was difficult with the "receptionist" not being able to find the reservation and not communicating, at all, what was going on. Literally just bustling about w/o saying a word. Some other employee/owner breezed in behind their security barrier desk ,chatted a bit, glanced my way, all w/o a word. Gave serious creep vibes. Door to room was "flimsy". Floor in room was dirty. Bathroom had hair and a few dead bugs in various places, including a "hairball" smashed on the back of the door. Luckily I bought one of those extra door locks because around 1:30 am someone tried to enter the room. I didn't stay the 2nd night I had booked
