We booked this room on the day of check-in. We booked a double queen with pond view. A couple hours later we received a call that only a king room with a pull out couch was available and we would receive a $25 breakfast credit for one day. The king room had a tennis court view not water. The hotel location is very convenient to Colonial Williamsburg. Check-in is at a different hotel. The actual room was very large but had peeling paint in the bath room on the walls & ceiling. The room had a weird smell to it so we kept the slider open while in the room. I think it’s time to refresh the rooms furnishings and decor.

This hotel is completely out of date and out of place in keeping with the Colonial Williamsburg theme. The grounds are kept up but as soon as you enter the door, everything goes downhill from there. The worst part was the rock hard bed. It would have been more comfortable sleeping on concrete. This hotel needs a serious overhaul!
