This hotel is convenient to Busch gardens and colonial Williamsburg. The lobby is ok, the dining room for breakfast is aesthetically pleasing but past that it is a trip back in time. To start with I hope the hotel is being revitalized but I am sharing from my family experience. The hallways are dark and dingy with some flickering light ambience. The exterior entrance door by the hallway did not work. Entering the room the carpets and lamps feel like someone went to a 80s or 90s garage sale and bulk bought. The beds were pure spring and were not comfortable. Isn’t the point of hotels to provide comfortable beds. The TV was smaller and I was relieved at least that it wasn’t a CRT TV like the pictures. Still, a bulk buy from Wyndham can easily put modern screens in. Lighting in the room is dingy and several bulbs were not working. Reported to desk and nothing was done. Shower water head and pressure was ok once I adjusted a few knobs. The water pressure for the sink was great for warm but horrible for cold. The sliding door was terrible. Very tough to open and the drapes were torn before we got there on the back side of them. We have a dog that travels with us and we used the door a lot. Took two of us to lift and slide the door open a few times. We checked the track to make sure it was clear of debris. Moving on past the room, the included breakfast has been well phrased in the description but falls short on follow through. Not recommending this place unless they close & update

It was a 3-star hotel, and it was fine. Nice lobby and outside areas. Our room was fine, though my bed was quite sinky in the middle (my husband's was not). Halls were in need of updates. Breakfast was nice.

Loved the main lobby area. Decent equipment in the gym that works. Coffee and juice watered down but loved the waffle maker for breakfast and the biscuits were really good so we enjoyed the breakfast. The property felt very secure as well.

Definitely not the cleanest hotel. At the pool there were bottle caps and over flowing trash cans. Waited 45 min for towels to be filled up at pool, gym bathrooms were disgusting and add a cockroach to list. Yuck!

The outside appearance seemed to be run down with weeds in the flower gardens and not appealing to the eye. But once inside like Wow! Staff very helpful. Pool area clean as well as the room. Breakfast was great and a plus for this hotel. Would recommend it to others if taking a trip to Williamsburg and would stay there again.

The property is very unique and was probably a great resort at one time. It’s built on the site of a civil war fort. It needs some TLC, but I think since it was bought by Wyndham they are sprucing things up. Rooms are dated but clean. Breakfast was good. Not fancy but goof for a quick inexpensive stay. Hopefully upgrades are coming and this property will be back to its prior status as a great place in Williamsburg

Price was good, breakfast was pretty good, but the room we stayed in was horrid. Carpets were stained dirty, furniture was missing chunks of wood from them and parts were broken, walls had holes in them. Pretty bad, definitely a mistake on my part. You win some you lose some, I know now not to go back.

It didn't look like it was going to be nice until you get inside. Breakfast was the usual waffles, biscuits and gravy, cereal, yogurt. Coffee and juice. The courtyard was just getting ready to bloom. Look so peaceful.

Our room had a cracked sink and rust on the bathtub. The furniture was old and stained . There was an old tv stand in the room that doubled as a drawer for clothes. The lights in the hallway were out making it feel dark and unsafe. The lobby was beautiful. Sadly, in my opinion this hotel is very run down. Don’t stay there.
