It is conveniently located near Historic Colonial Williamsburg- and the staff were very friendly. The room itself was clean and spacious. Sadly, similarly to many hotel rooms, the shower was confusing and resulted in a few cold showers. Check out felt a bit rushed. (Ei: Banging on my door at 10 when I had until 11am.) This after forgetting to add me to the room service list- when requesting in person at the front desk 24hrs in advance. Overall, my enjoyment of my stay outweighed my few qualms. Give them a try.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I did not like anything about this establishment. What I did not like: 1-) The floors and interior were absolutely filthy 2-) There was no continental breakfast as advertised (the dining area had obviously been converted into living space for the property manager and his family) 3-) When I raised issue with the cleanliness of the room and asked that the broken vanity basin stopper be repaired, the manager became very terse and appeared to get angry. Lastly, I would rather sleep in my car and bath in the sink of a local fast food joint than to ever book another room in that hotel.

Nothing unique about it, but cheap place in Williamsburg to stay for a little while. The area around it is kind of trashy.

Decent for Econo Lodge!

As far as Econo Lodges go, this was pretty decent! For the price, you can't expect too much, and the room was extremely basic. However, check in was very efficient and the room was clean and comfortable. I would stay there again for a budget trip and proximity to Williamsburg center.

Run this place is a run down dimp

Reserves a king size room but was given a 2 full size beds. The mattresses were worn out, the sheets & blanket were stained. I was there 4 days & no one came to clean the room or change out the towels & wash cloth. The couple next door fought & the female was outside screaming for someone to call the please. Others gusts smoke outside the room @ the cigarette smoke smell filled my room. You definitely get what you paid for.
