Mostly good but disappointed that our room wasn’t straightened up daily especially when we had the “make up room sign” out all day and complained when we came in Friday night. Didn’t have to change sheets but could have straightened beds and brought more towels. FYI. Found roach on floor of room 312.

For the price, facilities (pool breakfast) and location adjacent to Colonial Williamsburg, I was very pleased. Not as nice as newer, more expensive resorts. But, for our needs and the reasonable price, very pleased.

Overpriced!
It was a last minute book!! For the price I paid, it was not worth it. The tub was extremely dirty, the toilet had a ring of dirt where the water sits, the room had a strong smell of mildew. When the AC was on it smelled like the filter has never been cleaned. Overal a bad experience, again, not worth the price AT ALL!!!
