First night found cockroach crawling on the floor. The first floor back to door to enter the building doesn't shut properly (more likely for more bugs) and people who aren't staying there can access the hotel through the back entrance (safety issue in my opinion). Why put the sensor for guests to use their room key if the door doesn't even shut? We could hear our neighbors clear as day and they weren't even yelling. Dogs bark for hours!! Overall, very outdated. I've stayed here before 2 years ago and did not have this experience I don't know what happened. Hopefully they can fix these issues. If I need a cheap place for a night I would stay here but don't recommend for an extended trip.

Ajay checked us in with efficiency. He also graciously granted our request for a late check-out the following morning, giving us an extra hour! (Thanks, Ajay!) The front lobby was decorated for the holidays with quaint charm. Beyond the charm, everything was clean; the reception area, the hallways, the elevator, breakfast area, and the rooms were all very clean and welcoming. The beds were comfortable with plenty of pillows.The blackout curtains were wonderful! The shower worked fine with lots of hot water and good water pressure; it was slow draining, though, so we mentioned it to Ajay at check-out and we're confident that issue will be tended to ASAP. Although a few reviews mentioned slow wi-fi, we did not have any trouble with the wi-fi at all. We went to breakfast at 9am and there was plenty of hot foods with scrambled eggs, sausage patties, and biscuits-n-gravy available. However, there were no muffins, bagels, or pastries of any type left. Just a lot of empty shelves which should have contained those items. Chuck, the helpful breakfast attendant, said those items had run out already (breakfast started at 7am) and while he did have additional trays of banana nut muffins and other pastries, he couldn't put them out for guest consumption until the next day. It's necessary to climb steps to get to the tea/coffee/juice area and that would've problematic for me if I was alone as I'm in a wheelchair. We recommend this as a clean and comfy place to stay in Williamsburg.

The 1st room we were given which wasn't very clean to begin with was across the hall from a dog that was constantly barking, making it impossible to sleep. The front desk person was nice enough to switch us to another room. However, the 2nd room was FILTHY. The refrigerator was full of food from the previous guest which we told the front desk person about. We didn't discover later that the sheets had HAIR in them so we ended up sleeping on top of the covers. The bathroom also had hair, toothpaste on the mirror, and just dirty. It felt as though just the towels were changed between stays and the bed re-made without changing the sheets or cleaning anything. Our room wasn't made up after the 1st night (towels, bed done, etc.) The whole time we were there all we saw was an old vacuum in the hallway. We never saw a room cleaner going from room to room. I understand this is an older hotel and on the cheaper side but we've NEVER seen a place like this before. We're extremely disappointed and would never expect this from a national brand like Best Western.

Good points: rooms were clean. The hotel was quiet. The breakfast was fair. Coffee in the lobby was actually pretty good and available at all times. Reason for the poor rating: we had booked a 3 night stay. On day 1 we discovered the shower ceiling in our room was leaking. We reported it the day we arrived. By the second night the leak was worse and the ceiling was coming down into the tub. At 10 in the evening we were moving rooms. Our new room had a lamp that didn’t have a pull cord, a bathroom mirror frame that was busted up, and the hairdryer kept blowing the bathroom outlet. In addition, we had chosen this hotel because it had an indoor pool for lap swimming. As it turned out, the heater wasn’t working so wasn’t usable. The staff was mildly sympathetic but they indicated they couldn’t do anything because there are no maintenance people on staff over the weekends. !!! After requesting some type of compensation we were given a 15% discount. A small gesture but it didn’t make up for the bad experience on a family celebration weekend.

We (my wife & I) checked in on Friday, November 21, 2025, about 8pm. Front desk service was not welcoming at all. We were not informed about breakfast until I asked, and know mention of wifi code. Uncertain of the gentleman's name, but he was not friendly at all. When we entered the hotel on Saturday, November 22, he didn't as much as speak to us when entering the lobby. This is customer service at its worst. We travel a lot and this is not the norm at most hotels. The room was fine but two bulbs in the bathroom was burned out and bath tub was stained. We made the front desk aware of the light issue when checking out. Overall the room was fine. Price was great for our purposes of being in the area.
