My stay at the hotel was truly exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by a staff member who was both helpful and attentive. Throughout our stay, every employee we encountered was courteous, professional, and genuinely friendly. This was my first visit to Williamsburg, and the experience exceeded all expectations. Thank you to the entire team for making our stay so memorable. I stayed in Room 126 from July 17–19, 2025.

It was ok for just one night. Front staff was very nice. Room had stains on the walls. Mold around the tops of the soap bottles in the shower. Mold on the shelf in the fridge. Bed was comfortable though.

Pleasant Stay

It was good. The beds were comfortable, the shower worked good and the breakfast was pretty good. The employees really helped when needed to or asked. Like that they had a safe to store your belongings in. For some reason they kept leaving the room with three bath towels when I needed four.

There was never anyone consistently at the front desk. Usually no one was there and customers had to wait for someone to come out. Front desk was not helpful in checking in customers earlier if possible. The lobby was full of crumbs and the elevator floor had a sticky substance on the floor. Location was convenient to my destination but overall overpriced hotel with poor service and cleanliness in the common areas.

The property is very nice. The shower in our room needed some cleaning in the corners. There was not a working ice machine on the first and second floors. An ice machine was installed on the first floor during our stay. The common area was nice. The room was very clean with exception of the shower. The continental breakfast which offered fresh fruit everyday (apples, bananas, oranges) and 24/7 fresh brewed coffee was very good. The hotel is conveniently located in Williamsburg, VA with easy access to dining and shopping. The salt water pool was a hit with my grandson. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful during our stay.

The rooms were clean and it was in a good area. The only odd thing was we were on the fourth floor and you had to take a different elevator. The front desk person didn’t tell us and we had to drag our bags everywhere. Good breakfast.

Its a very nice space, perfect for those touring/visiting William and Mary! 🙂 The hotel itself is located outside of the Colonial Williamsburg area, but only by about an 8 minute drive! Tons of modern shops and dinning nearby the hotel, but if you want more local and colonial, theres downtown not too far away!

It was okay. Not terrible by any means, but not quite would I would expect from this hotel chain that is rebranding itself as higher wuality (and higher price). The property could definitely stand to be updated, the couch in our room had bisible white stains, and you can see in the grouts and corners that things havent been deep cleaned in a while.
