Hotel was dated. Room was musty smelling. The bathroom was clean, but tub was stained, the faucet was crooked and water just barely made it in sink. The breakfast was TERRIBLE. The only utensils were spoons and when asked for forks none were given. Food was cold. Would not stay again.

We felt like the hotel was not as clean as it should be. One room smelt like cigars the other room had paint peeling and the mattress on the bed was broken down and slanted to one side. The breakfast was less than stellar.

The staff at this hotel were amazing! The location is prime- waking or biking distance to Williamsburg. The property was dirty- cigarette butts outside, inside carpets not vacuumed. Breakfast was good but entire eating area was filthy. Short staffed as only one person manning the food, which left no time to clean floors or tables.

OK for the price. When they say 4pm check-in they mean it. Not one minute before! Probably short handed on housekeeping staff.
