Basically - If you’re in town for a quick visit and just looking for a decent place to rest your head at night this will meet that exact need. Hotel room was clean, nice in room amenities, decent hot continental breakfast (ends right at nine) and coffee bar, heated indoor pool, and is centrally located to the parks and downtown Williamsburg. These factors alone could make this a five star hotel.
Checking in did take a while because the lady behind the counter was pre occupied with being on the phone in the other room and didn’t see me. Being told about the 24 hour “coffee bar” was a nice unexpected touch, but we did have to look through the cabinets to find things as nothing was in stock next to the machine. Some things that are in general very concerning was the front door was always propped wide open and there was no staff behind or near the counter during this time. When we got back to the hotel from visiting the park (11pm) there was a note on the desk that said “If you need help go to room 101. -Management” and when we went to make hot chocolate before heading upstairs we startled an older gentleman who had been sleeping across some chairs. It wasn’t quite sure if he was there as a guest or just as a visitor who was enjoying the game and free coffee - as he seemed to have knowledge as to where the light switches and cups were.
Based off the non existent presence of the hotel staff at night and certain security factors takes this rating down to three stars.
