Okay.

Great location, rooms right out of the early ‘60s. Beds were good, but firm. Staff fine.
Pruitt, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Affordable Williamsburg choice

We stayed 1 night between two days at the local amusement and water parks. Just there to sleep and shower, so the reasonable price is attractive. The room had what we needed and the beds were comfortable.

Sean, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property is in a good location, the rooms are livable with necessary utilities. For the price you can't ask for more. Although it could have been a little cleaner i suppose...

close to restaurants and sites

great location near restaurants. Inn is only 2 miles from colonial williamsburg. there is no free breakfast but there is a pancake house next door.
Lenora, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Old, in need of some TLC

The hotel is older. The outside areas are filthy. The pool is covered but looks very trashy. The price is good, but you get what you pay for. The room was ok for me by myself, but definitely wouldnt bring a family or a female. Carpet in room would leave your bare feet brown. Over all probably wouldn't choose the motel again. John Smith probably had cleaner accommodations in his time. I went for price, and got what I paif for.
William, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

If I could give it a -5 star rating I would

Horrible, horrible horrible experience they tried to double/triple charge my card when my reservation was paid for they have bed bugs they tried to charge my card for sheets I didn’t mess up owners are rude prices weren’t worth it it’s non smoking rooms but rooms smelled like 6packs of burnt cigarettes it’s just not worth going here

Old fashioned motel with simple amenities, reasonable price compared to chain hotels in the area. Room is clean & neat. Good fridge in room.

Loreal, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The convenience is not expensive
fekadu, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The place was nice for being cheap. They are doing some renovations it seems. The carpet needs cleaned really bad. I walked barefoot and my feet were black. The room smelled really musty. Other than those two things, the service was great, the room was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the staff were really friendly.
