Positive Reviews
positive:
Quiet but central location
The hotel is not on the main tourist strip which many guests liked because it keeps the location more quiet. It is also not too far away from many of the major sights. You can easily get on the highway to explore the wider area like nearby Jamestown or get to Busch Gardens.
positive:
Clean basic rooms
The hotel is not a fancy location, but guests reported comfortable beds and clean rooms. Generally the rooms are neat and tidy. There have not been any major complaints.
positive:
Family owned shows in customer care
Many guests like the friendliness provided by the people owning the hotel. It makes a clear difference that these people work for their own business. Ask them for restaurant recommendations or how to make the most out of your stay in Williamsburg.
Negative Reviews
negative:
You might get some noise
Some guests had noise issues with neighboring rooms or the parking lot. You might want to consider bringing earplugs as a remedy for any issues that might arise. It might be a good idea to get a second floor room, as you have nobody above you then.
negative:
Bathroom is small
Some guests felt that the bathrooms are on the small side. As this is a budget hotel the facilities are quite functional and do not provide any additional space. If you do not plan to spend a lot of time inside the room it will probably fit your needs.
negative:
Smoking rooms still in this location
Some guests were a bit bothered by smoking rooms being next to non-smoking rooms or by being put in a smoking room when they were non-smokers. If you mind the smell of cigarettes request a room far from a smoking room and make sure you booked a non-smoking room.
