    It very fitting for the price range and quiet. It has microwave and fridge in the room so that's convenient. It's been a great place especially after a long day.

    9PaulPosted on: 3-28-2023

    Cost was the best part.

    The high tax assessed on the cost. Lack of outlets for plugs. Patches on the wall.

    7TrudyPosted on: 10-17-2022

    John Smith is good for a short stay. Its clean and simple tv works frig and microwave, but it worth about $---$--- total. $--- on a weekend.

    6Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 7-13-2021

    Staff was nice. Very quiet.

    Pool was dirty. Place is run down. Transient hotel. Folks live here by week.

    10SharonPosted on: 6-30-2021

    Workers we're very friendly,clean rooms, AC worked great,guiet area, close to all sightseeing areas between Williamsburg to Yorktown. We enjoyed our stay and ended up staying three nights total.

    Everything was great, will note the hot water in shower takes a minute to get hot but then when it gets hot it's really ¿¿hot.

    Location.

    Bugs in the room. Card key lock was disabled so we were only given a key for the deadbolt. The door had been left open when we checked in.

    The dude on the front desk took copy of my credit card for incedental purposes, I think state ID is valid enough as a copy. It's just weird to see someone that works in a hotel asking for a copy of a customer credit card even tho I already paid online.

    2Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 7-10-2017

    Dirty. Mud in the tub. Noisy.

    2JuanPosted on: 7-5-2017

    Location.

    1Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 6-13-2017

    nothing. we opened the door and never brought anything out of our car. filthy, advertised a pool that was empty a not working. rotten food in the fridge.

    everything. found another place to stay

    1JohnPosted on: 5-16-2017

    Room was dirty and reeked of smoke. The room had been flooded before - water damaged furniture and sheet rock. Checked out almost as fast as we checked in and went to another hotel. Innkeeper unapologetic as we had pre-paid so he didn't care.

    3AlisonPosted on: 1-31-2017

    Shower was good. Room was filthy. I slept on top of the bed and prayed I didn't bring anything home.

    1Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 8-18-2016

    The location was awesome....

    I actually had to strip the bedding due to the unbelievable amount dirt and hair on them...The room smelled of mold and was extremely unattractive.

    2Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 8-4-2015

    location Olive Garden, Red Lobster next to motel

    The room smell was terrible - musty, moldy. The maid failed to clean room the second day of stay - used towels left in floor, bed not made, etc. Gang of teenagers outside our door in parking lot at 2am being loud and noisy.

    3JimPosted on: 7-10-2015

    I did like the fact that we could park right outside the door - no lugging suitcases up 2 or 3 flights of stairs. We didn't stay long enough to use the pool, but it looked clean.

    Hotel needs an update. Breakfast was minimal; cereal, toast, milk and coffee. Waffle maker was broken. Staff was not friendly at all.
