This is the filthiest, most disgusting hotel I’ve ever stepped foot in. My room had a cockroach crawling around — yes, a cockroach (photo attached). That alone tells you everything you need to know about how dirty, careless, and unhygienic this place is. The fact that they’re charging people money to stay in bug-infested rooms is a disgrace. Management clearly doesn’t care about basic health standards, guest safety, or running a decent business. This hotel is a complete scam and a hazard. Avoid it at all costs — unless you enjoy sleeping with roaches.

Pretty good

Very close to Colonial Williamsburgh, rooms are okay. They could use to be deep cleaned as well as the outside of the property landscaped and picked up. Staff was nice. The pet fee is very competitive and our dogs were fine there. Plenty of room to walk them. We have stayed at several other Williamsburg properties at different times.
