I stayed here President’s Day weekend whilst playing Williamsburg tourist, and I quickly saw why this hotel was so affordable. Where to even begin?
1. The staff were extremely unprofessional, and while they could do basic things like check you in/out and make housekeeping requests, they were pretty horrid at communication and were quite rude in terms of temperament. It appears that the staff were family, which explains why nobody was keeping anybody accountable.
2. The room was clean enough, although it was extremely dated, the wallpaper was peeling, and the hallways had a musty aroma. The pool was also quite unsanitary-looking, as was the main breakfast area.
3. Speaking of the continental breakfast, it was quite underwhelming. The website actually misleads you into thinking it was closer to a hot breakfast, but all they give you are pre-packaged bagels/bread slices, fruit, yogurt, sugar cereal, juice/coffee, and hardboiled eggs left at room temperature and not in a proper heater (Yuck!). The only appliances are a microwave and toaster.
4. The guests too reflect the price of this hotel; every guest I encountered was either a young family with freakishly ill-mannered kids, sketchy-looking characters who smelt of weed and booze, or Middle America halfwits who have clearly never been in a hotel before. (The latter of which put an egg in the microwave before cutting it open, causing it to explode.)
Avoid this place at all costs!
