Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We stayed here two nights while visiting Williamsburg. We have never stayed at an Econolodge and were hesitant, but the price was in our budget. The room as old but clean. The wifi worked well . The breakfast area was crowded and the breakfast was okay. Just the basics nothing hot. Would stay again.

For the price, I was a bit concerned, but my teenage daughter and I were so pleased with the room! It was clean, comfortable and the gentleman at the front desk was very friendly! We will Definitely come back to this motel when visiting Williamsburg!

Poor service. The management seemed like they didn't want to hear us talk. Asking for extra towels was a hassle. It says on the map of the property that there is a snack and vending machine, but after me and my gf walked around for 10 mins then went and asked we found out that there wasn't one on site

Dear Guest We are glad you chose to stay with us during your Williams burg visit. I do not know why you felt my staff did want to hear you talk. They are always helpful and friendly with all guests. I am sorry if you impressions were not exactly that. I am sorry for that. As to vending machine we do have bottled drinks and snacks at the front desk. Your in service AJ GM

We stayed for 3 nights and it was a great location! The Motel is located right off the Colonial Parkway and very close to Historic Williamsburg. The room was clean and neat. There was even a nonskid mat for the tub. The breakfast room was very tidy and well organized. It was great having breakfast just right there to have before we started our day. The Staff was helpful and pleasant. I would stay there again.

Stayed here with my wife & kids this summer. Check in was smooth & friendly, our downstairs room clean & quiet. Pool was well kept & clean. Wifi was good. We could walk to a number of restaurants, including an excellent Mexican place just down the street. The hotel is located on the quieter side of town which is nice & just a few minutes drive to the CW Visitors Center. We are planning another trip to the area & will be looking to book here again.

Easy access from Freeway, pleasant safe walk 20 minute to Historic Williamsburg, plenty of restaurants nearby. The rooms are spacious and clean, and very good value. Next morning we took the parkway to Jamestown and an onramp to this is very close. This hotel makes a good base for exploring the area.

Family Owned Motel Run by Good People Years ago when I was wealthy I always stayed at the Williamsburg Inn for $400-500 per night. Now I am retired and have to be more careful with my money. I still love Colonial Williamsburg and have been there with my wife and children until they refused to come anymore. I am convinced that I lived in Colonial Williamsburg in a prior life. Coming to this motel is like coming home. They welcome me and treat me like family. I come to this motel at least five nights a year for the last eight years. They always give me the same room. Beautiful Crown molding and very clean. Their continental breakfast is always good and had been the same for the last eight years. There is also a great restaurant (reviewed separately) called the Second

Well all I can say is its no the worst but not close to the best. If I could do again I would pay a little more and get somewhere better. Beds very uncomfortable, bathroom was honestly awful. Very poor services and needs an update. Don't get me wrong, I was aware that for 98.00 I wasn't going to get the ritz, but this felt more like a 50.00 a night hotel!!. Location was good but please consider that if you want something cleaner and a little more updated you should look elsewhere.

All I wanted was a clean place where I'm not afraid to rest my head for the night. Unfortunately, this Econo Lodge did not manage to deliver that and for what I was charged, I've stayed in much cleaner motels with better upkeep. This was a clear disappointment for the cost. It's only saving grace is its proximity to Colonial Williamsburg. I arrived early, and was immediately turned away with "Check in is at 3PM, come back then." The woman behind the counter then simply walked away through the back door without another word, or an offer to hold onto my bags. I understand if my room wasn't ready yet, but the attitude and having no choice but to leave my luggage in my rental car was a bit off-putting. Apart from that first experience, my interaction with the staff was

Dear Guest We thank you for extensive review of your stay. There are some points we need to clarify. First our checking in time is 3.00pm and if guest arrive mid morning then if rooms are ready then we do early check in. However on weekends that is not always possible so please do not Take this personally. When you reported your issue to us we come to have correct it. We did recomend you change room and had one ready to move in. Please accept our sincere apologises for you stay. GM
