The location and parking is great. The cleanliness of the property is deplorial. I didn’t expect the Ritz but a clean toilet ,refrigerators,furniture surface and vacuumed carpet is the least.

Room was clean, hotel badly needs remodeling but it’s too big to make it worthwhile so it will probably get worse. No hot breakfast at the hotel just bagels and muffins. Gotta say tho the beds were much more comfortable than a lot of nicer hotels

Great proximity to Busch Gardens. I’ve stayed here with my daughter here a couple of times. She loves the indoor pool, but it was a little too cold to get in this time in April. The property needs some updating. I hoped to have a long soak in the tub, but the plug for the drain wasn’t working. Also had hoped for a hot breakfast but only the basic complementary bagels and cereal, which was fine for the early checkout we had.

Clean room, fairly comfortable beds, breakfast selection was fair. Barking dog across the hall and toilet were our only issues.

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 was nice and clean. Beds a little firm. Check in was very easy and secure. Have stayed at this property twice now. Will stay again.
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.
