Affordable Williamsburg choice

We stayed 1 night between two days at the local amusement and water parks. Just there to sleep and shower, so the reasonable price is attractive. The room had what we needed and the beds were comfortable.

Room was neat at tidy. TV was simple to operate (Guide function worked to actually see what was on, and the list of channels was easy to navigate). No frills, but for place to come and relax and sleep after a long day in Colonial Williamsburg, and was perfectly fine. Bathroom and no stains or grit even in the grout. Also, lots of Restaurants nearby. And easy to find as it was on the main road. Front desk guy after hours was right there too.
