Not

Have stayed a BW in Williamsburg several times. This time was not quite up to par. We asked for a handicapped accessible room and the clerk indicated that the only one on the main floor as occupied. When we checked back later, we were told the occupant had decided to spend another night. They said as soon as it became available, we could move. It never became available and no one ever contacted us despite 3-4 stops at the front desk. In the past, the staff was very accommodating. Not so much now. Communicating in English was also sometimes difficult.

Very unhappy

Checked in, dropped bags and ran back out to dinner. Came back and really got a look, bathroom had wadded up toilet paper on floor, black smears on floor (makeup?) and the shower curtain was missing. Under dust ruffle of beds were pieces of kids toys, so clearly had not been fully cleaned either. Room was dusty, some towels were dirty. TV worked sporadically, most of the time picture was pixelated. Breakfast buffet were 3 trays that were supposed to contain eggs, sausage, and pancakes. First day no eggs or pancakes second day no eggs or sausage. Waited for a bit and they were not refilled.
