pros and cons

Painted fingernail inside bed, dirty bath tub and breakfast was cold. I did enjoy the mr coffee cup filled with maple syrup for all to use for their french toast sticks. The place could stand for an update. But the price was great and the location was fantastic. walking distance to williamsburgh restoration and a close drive to Busch Gardens.

For $80 bucks it’s a decent deal but the facilities are extremely dated and/or unfinished. I would stay again passing through but if I was vacationing in the area I would definitely attempt to find something else.

Best Western Historic in Williamsburg is lovely. It is only a 12 minute walk from Colonial Williamsburg and the area is quite pleasant. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and well designed to support the traveler with a small refrigerator and microwave. The breakfast is delicious and quite hearty. There is something for everyone. I always choose Best Western when I travel because I know I will find a safe, clean, comfortable space run by people who genuinely care about their customers. There is a reason”best” is part of the name of the hotels and it shows.

Check in was really easy. Indoor pool had no heat pump. Breakfast was very lackluster. Beds were really firm and hard. Hotel is nice overall, but not really near any amenities.

Good Location

Check in went well we were allowed in early. The room is dated and the bathroom is very small. Unfortunately the bathroom did not provide water hot enough to an acceptable level. The property is a short walk from the Historic Village so that is a big plus.

Nice clean property, seemed quite safe, clean room, the bathroom had a jacuzzi style tub but unlikely to have enough hot water to fill it substantially enough to use (disappointing) since my shower lasts about 15 minutes before the hot water faded (no shower for the other person in my party). But overall nice comfortable stay.
