Not bad for a quick over night stay. It is old and needs some work. The positive is that there is free wifi and tasty free coffee in the lobby. Since its older the structure of the building is better and the walls are not as thin as the new hotels, so we never had issues with noise or neighbors.... More

I don't know if it was chemistry or what, but when I checked in I found the desk clerk to be surly -- so much so that my anticipation of exploring Williamsburg took a huge dive. My reaction was to start writing this review the moment we got to our room, and I very diligently cataloged everything that was remotely... More

While in a convenient location, this hotel did not live up to its purported star level. The wi-fi took many attempts to access and then was slow and kicked me off. The first floor smelled of chlorine. There was a leak in the ceiling of the restaurant. Though our room was clean, we spotted a few roaches in the bathroom.... More
