Exactly what we needed. Busch Gardens weekend trip for Hallo-Scream. Late check in was easy, Beds were clean and comfortable, Shower had good pressure, and water was nice and hot. We went with the cheaper option because we were only going to be there about 8 hours to get some sleep. No Regrets.

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.

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.
