Charles City Vacations from $331

I enjoyed how quiet it was. And how quickly management responded to requests. Only real issue I had was sheets are a little thin so I would suggest bringing a travel blanket if you get cold easily (and I do). But I would recommend to as a good place to stay. And I will be planning a repeat visit. It can be a little hard to initially find as it's directly behind a restaurant. And GPS does not help. I think a sign a little closer to the road might help. But definitely loved the fact that all the food was in walking distance. As far as shopping definitely don't come in late as the area can be a little confusing and harder to navigate after dark as the area where signage isn't very well lit.

Loved the villa and it was SO CLEAN. The staff were great. We enjoyed the pool, mini golf and playing horseshoes! It was really close to Busch Gardens and Colonial Williamsburg.

Doesn't seem well kept. The pool on Memorial Day weekend was green? not sure what was up, but the sides were dirty in it. It should have been cleaned before the holiday weekend, start of summer? No pool towels, just a pile of dirty towels in the pool hallway. No one to open up the pool bathroom either. Coffee person in the morning was only 1 person working, we felt sorry for him, it was chaos, took 30 minutes to get a coffee, huge crowd. Restaurant wasn't operating that night or the next morning (Monday Memorial Day). So they did let people bring in their own food, which was great but also kind gross b/c there were lots of pizza boxes and empty food containers all over the restaurant/game area. Video arcade games were running really slowly, my kids didn't enjoy them. All the snack machines / ice machines were removed from the floors. Only floor 14 had ice, no snacks. Downstairs had snacks but no one there to sells snack to us. The shampoo dispenser in our shower was broken, light in the ceiling of the bathroom flickered constantly. the kids bunk beds weren't made up, just top sheets and blankets left folded on the beds. Limited TV channels, no kid channels (nick, Disney, etc. said "no signal", only basic channels, but did have food network, HGTV and ESPN, so not sure why the kid channels weren't running).

The refurbishment is going to be great.

Really cool, unusual kind of place.
