    Beautiful setting in a convenient location. The condo we had needed many repairs and overall the resort could use some upgrades. Very disappointing the hours for the spa. I will say that maintenance is very responsive to any needs.

    An absolutely beautiful setting! Views of the river immediately made me feel like I was in a secluded, secret spot. The resort is very safe in a gated community, but still close to many amenities of Williamsburg without too much of a drive. Recently stayed in a "river view" room for a conference. The good: - beautiful views - lovely patio - ample parking - fantastic water pressure in the shower The less good: - it's very dated - if your room isn't the top floor and someone stays above you, the floors creak when your neighbors walk - a bottle of diet coke was left in my fridge when I arrived - probably from a prior guest? The conference area was great, but they had major issues with heat and a/c. The day started swelteringly hot, and by the end it had over-corrected to leave us all shivering and wrapping up in coats. Conference food was fine, though the veg/gluten free options were disappointing and in some cases not available.

    Apparently, this used to be a really nice place when the Busch family ran it but now that they don't, it's not the same. Big shout out to Emily at the front desk, she and she alone showed great customer care and service. Not so much with the rest of the staff or the "resort." The room was off in a condo complex-looking place....and complex is a good way to name it because it's not easy to find your room and it's not very walkable. When I checked in, I was offered a ride in the van to my room. The driver didn't even greet me, carry my bags, or open the door to the van. When he dropped me off, he pointed to my room. Not customer service-minded at all. He missed out on a nice tip. The room is very similar to what you'd find at a Holiday Inn Express or Hampton Inn, but there is no microwave. My phone didn't work and there was zero cell reception. I mean zero. I had to communicate through text and wifi apps. It didn't make me feel very safe in case of an emergency. That's for sure. I was at the mercy of their wifi which kept disconnecting. The refrigerator was so loud I had to unplug it so I could sleep. Otherwise, the room was clean. Nothing fancy, but adequate. They did send a text asking if I needed anything, but they took over an hour to respond to it and weren't able to help anyway because the person who could fix my phone had already left for the day. I'll have to put this on the management. They need to train their staff better. They should consider hiring a consultant to train them in good customer service skills. I have no idea how this place has a four-star rating. It must be from days of old.

    No complaints! Checking in was easy. Upon arrival there's a little station where security is sitting. Let them know your last name they'll let you in. It's in a community so you'll have to drive all the way down the road pass the local homes. The room was simple and clean. I got the king bedroom. It came with a mini fridge (very very small), shower amenities, soap, conditioner, shampoo, shower cap, multiple towels for a two night stay. The room was very clean and the bathroom was as well. The bed felt amazing it was super comfy. King bed is HUGE my bf and I were able to spread out easy. The room also had a tv, little chair, and desk area. There was also a little patio with two chairs and a view of the golf course for the ground level room. Pillows are so fluffy they can be flat and they only have like 3 pillows. I'm sure you can ask for more pillows. I just folded my pillow in half and that worked lol. There's a tennis court, fitness center, golf course, dinning areas, pool, spa, etc.... It's a spread out resort where each room is a part of a little apartment complex unit, it's not all in one building. It's an 8min - 11min drive to Busch Gardens. They don't have shuttles that go to the park. The hotel currently has a hotel vacation package bundle with Busch gardens where parking, entry, and potentially food can be included depending on the option you pick. Hotel also has free parking with your reservation.

    subpar at best the room doesn't look like it was advertised. upon entering the bed had holes in the sheets, the bed skirt was stained, the coffeemaker was dirty, and the phone didn't work. I could have done better staying at a Super 8.

They said "we thought you already checked out." I had not and felt extremely intruded upon. I gave it a second try last weekend - never again. This time there wasn't much the staff could have done. The hallways and main corridors were super warm. The room was renovated and was clean - mostly, however, the walls were super thin. One one side a family was blasting the movie Hamilton halfway into the night while on the other side a toddler was screaming for hours. The child did not sleep until after 1AM... so neither did we. I don't blame the other guests, however, structurally I would not stay here. The doors were also thin so I knew who was running down the hall and talking at all hours. I was lucky - our room, 403, was near the end of the hallway. I can't imagine what it would have been like in front of the elevator. At breakfast the person helping us kept standing there staring at us. Each time I went back up to the buffet, I felt their eyes on me. It was quite uncomfortable. Finally, worst of all, I did not feel safe in my room. The hitch that holds the door closed was loose and I didn't trust it to keep us safe. I reported all of these concerns at checkout. I was not even thanked for letting them know, muchless had anyone apologize for the experience. This one is a nope for me.

I think that part of the problem is that they have a number of long-stay residents, as I've learned from talking to fellow guests. Yes, I know that Residence Inn is generally targeted for longer hotel stays, but these are people staying months at a time for a temporary job. There is nothing inherently wrong with those types of guests, but it leads to a downgrade in level of service from that of a hotel to that of an apartment building. Also, as a pet-friendly hotel, the hotel has turned into a de facto unattended kennel during the day. While their owners are at work, or vacation travelers go to places where dogs are not welcome, the dogs are left alone in rooms all day, barking and whining...all...day...long. And once one starts, they all start. The constant din is really unbearable during the day. In the last year or so, signs have gone up around the hotel about Quiet Hours being from 10:00pm to 8:00am. The fact that the hotel management felt it necessary to put those signs up portends the type of behavior that you can expect from some of their current clientele. Garbage cans/piles sitting outside rooms will be there all day long. The walls in the hallways are all marked up. The internet was squirrelly and, according to the staff, it has been that way for over a month due to a power outage. On our most recent visit, we were in our room for less than an hour when the door pops open with another guest walking in that had been assigned the same room...assigned by the same person at the front desk that assigned us that room. When we queried the lady at the front desk about it later, she said that's been happening since the power outage a month or so ago. The lack of concern on the part of the lady at the front desk was alarming. And then when we went back to our room, our keys no longer worked. It's really a shame. It is a great location, right on the strip. Many of the staff are friendly and trying to do their jobs, and the complimentary breakfast is pretty good. However, this hotel is not operating anywhere NEAR the Marriott level, and it is damaging the Marriott brand.

First of all, there was an instruction card that came with the reservation however while it did indicate that there is a backdoor, it did not inform that this was the 'main' entrance. There is very limited parking and if you want to park across at the church on or the street, you are at risk of towing. They have no passes for parking in these locations. The beds are their own issue. If you are vertically challenged, you will have great difficulty getting into the main beds. We stayed in a 'suite' (I use this term laughingly as it was just two connecting rooms) that had another room with twin beds. While the main bed seemed to have a mattress from the last century, the twin beds were ancient. The "pillows" that they give you are quite literally flatter than a pancake they would serve you for breakfast. The suite we stayed in was in the front of the house and there is no insulation to cancel ANY of the traffic noises from outside. It was very very stuffy inside and I wasn't able to open a window. We asked for a step stool and were given one that wasn't even as high as a normal step on a staircase. It was still very difficult to get in to the bed. At no time while I was there did I see, hear or meet the host/hostess of the B&B. The only time we met any employee was in the morning during breakfast. These ladies were AMAZING. They almost made up for the lack of any other service or greeting in their friendliness. The breakfast was late the day I was there. There are signs everywhere stating that it would be served at 8:30 but it was closer to 9:30. I'm an early riser so this was a bit of an inconvenience. At least the coffee was available. They had eggs, fresh fruit, yogurt, toast, cereal etc. It was set up as a buffet style in a very stylish area of the serving area. The dining room table is gorgeous but there are no placemats to put your plates on, I felt very worried about scratching this gorgeous table. The non guest rooms were fit with comfy areas to just relax and chill after a day of being a tourist. The furniture may not have been the most comfortable, but given how cozy each area was this was easily forgiven. I really enjoyed that each room had a Christmas tree already set up. This is not very handicapped friendly as no matter which way you enter, there are very old steps. The front steps were especially bad. To sum up; Parking; F Comfort; B Room Comfort: C+ Breakfast: A Location: A- Price: C (for our experience it was really really pricey)
