Pros (+) I liked the price and the courtesy of the employees.
Cons (-) The fan in the bathroom was broken as well as having metal bits stuck in the outlets. The staff woke us up early. Although they were courteous, 9 am is too early to be knocking on our door if not requested.

Michelle, Nov 2016
Pros (+) This motel is very close to Colonial Williamsburg and Merchant's Square - about a 10 to 15 walk across some railroad tracks. Yes, there is rail line nearby but the noise didn't bother me much. The hotel was clean, something that is very iffy at this price point. The towels were also especially fluffy and nice for the lower quality of the rest of the room. Staff was very nice in every interaction I...
Cons (-) The room is very rundown and outdated. The sheets were low quality, the bed was a bit hard but lumpy, and there was a hole in my blanket. You can hear the train, which may bother some.
