This hotel is completely out of date and out of place in keeping with the Colonial Williamsburg theme.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!
