Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
the staff was half dressed and barefoot and looked like he came from his bedroom with dishevled hair and half asleep. ( we did check in very late at almost 2am as we were traveling.) The room had a roach, the furniture was broken, both beds had an unpleasant odor, and the only lock (in this unsafe neighborhood) on the door was the electric key card lock. Never again!

The James river hotel formally the King James is almost historical in Newport News. The hotel has been through VERY ROUGH times of people it's time in business. Overall it has truly stood the TEST OF TIME. The age of the rooms would be a five on my scale. However other than that I will stay again as I have done for over 40 years. God bless

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
This place is horrible. Stay away at all cost. You have people who live there hanging out harassing you wanting to do drugs and hook up hanging outside all hours of the night. The staff doesn’t care about anything. First room they gave us was filthy. Black mold covered the shower curtain. Went back to front desk said something. They got an attitude but gave us another room. This room was just as bad. Filthy. Dirty sheets dirty towels. Mold in the bathroom. We ended up cutting our losses and leaving not staying there. We didn’t feel safe due to the harassment of the guys who lived there and it was just too dirty.
