Second time staying here and we'll definitely be back. The location is our main draw. A five minute walk to Colonial Williamsburg. The room is clean and staff is always friendly.

Room and bathroom were clean and adequately stocked, beds were comfortable and room temperature was comfortable ; my only complaint is that the breakfast was not tasty, the food was lukewarm or cold, there was no fresh fruit, very basic
Perfect lower price option for visitors. Close to everything you need. 7 minute drive to Busch Gardens. Free breakfast in the morning. Family enjoyed the stay.
Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was pretty good. The room was clean and well maintained. There is plenty of parking and it’s really close to touristy stuff.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Staff was pleasant, location was good. Breakfast was nice overall. Rooms were dated and in less than ideal conditions, including some mold on the walls and ceiling in the bathroom.
Nice location for a quick trip. Convenient to Busch Gardens and CW. Bathroom was dated with rust on the light fixture. No USB outlets. Comfortable beds and pet friendly.
I would like to say Thank you all the staff. Everyone is just wonderful. In a crazy moment of life I have felt absolutely at peace. Again thank you
