The room was clean but……looks tired. Needs painting, refrigerator has a lot of dents, dining table worn, exterior of building needs painting too. I understand some units have been renovated. I requested to be assigned to a renovated unit but, obviously I was not. Staff at registration were very friendly and helpful. Staff at checking very friendly and accommodating.

No AC. Maintenance guy came and I showed him the problem. Faulty breaker. He said someone would come by the next day. Didn’t happen. Had to open the windows to get the place reasonably livable. Just like old times in Colonial Williamsburg.

Never ever again!!

This was the absolute worst stay I’ve ever experienced through Hotels. We were given a rundown, filthy, outdated room next to rooms they were actively gutting, which tells you how much in need of repair they were. We had maintenance and housekeeping open our door 3 different times saying we were listed as being checked out when we arrived in the room only 8 hours prior to that and had 3 nights left. The pool was dirty and part of it was green, but the smell was the worst part. As soon as you walked in the door it smelled of sewage. There were roaches on the bottom, and a fingernail and a band-aid floating around. The absolute worst part was the way we were treated by staff. I called down to find out why maintenance and house keeping were trying to get in and I was met with the rudest staff I have ever encountered. The manager was the rudest. Her attitude was abhorrent. She never apologized, her only reply to my question about why they were saying I had checked out was that the staff was told we were not to be disturbed. I asked a question, I never asked not to be disturbed. She should lose her job if that is all the better she can treat a paying guest. Luckily, a very nice man at Hotels was able to get us a partial refund, although I believe we were due a full refund but the manager wouldn’t budge because we didn’t check out til almost 2 after trying to scramble and find new accommodations, which ended up costing even more money. I will never ever stay at the Colonies again!!

Never again!!!!!!!

This was the absolute worst experience I’ve ever had. The room was filthy, the pool was green and smelled like sewage and had a fingernail, a bandaid and various bugs in it. The coffee maker in the lobby was broken and we had dead roaches in our room. But the worst part was maintenance and housekeeping banging down my door at 8 am because they said I was shown as checked out when I had just checked in the night before. They were rude and when I called down to figure out what was going on I was met with abhorrent behavior by the person answering the phone. I will never ever stay here again even though I’ve had great experiences in the past.

We stayed here for the first time even though we come to Williamsburg often. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The room had everything that we needed. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking the items we brought as well. The property was close to everything including Busch Gardens, outlets and restaurants.
