Other places either required more than one night or are too pricy for what I'm looking for just for a night without bringing much items (small rooms). No fridge and no toiletries (just bar soap) - so bring your shampoo and conditioner. Towels and toilet paper provided. There was also a basic and small hair dryer hanging on the bathroom wall. My room was clean, sheets were fresh, and it was quiet even on Sat night. I didn't need to use my noise cancelling machine which I always bring just in case when traveling. Jan offered to take me to places in town if needed however I didn't need it this quick trip. I also felt safe in the motel. Jan lives next door and mentioned there have never been any break ins. That was important for me since I was traveling alone. I would love to return another weekend with my fiancé or maybe some family if they're able to book the next door rooms.

What a glorious stay I had recently at Dennison Street Inn, located in one of my favorite small…read moretowns, Colonial Beach, Virginia. Innkeepers Jodie and John have left nothing to chance and in her own words, Jodie says that she learns something new with each new visitor, striving to accommodate every want and need. For example, when a guest complained of not having a specific blend of tea, Jodie made sure from that point on to have a wider selection. This attention to detail is evident from the moment you walk through the doors of the stately Victorian, originally built for the first mayor of Colonial Beach. The owners wanted furnishings to match the time period of the majestic home, but didn't want an overly feminine look as is common with Victorian decor. They found a perfect balance. Plush furniture in the living room (it's like sitting on a throne!) in muted colors with antiques and historic paintings on the walls. I imagine the owners going through each room, as if they were guests themselves, anticipating every possible need a visitor might want. There is a shoe rack at the door, earplugs next to your bed, and every type of sweetener (sugar, raw sugar, sugar substitute), coffee and tea you could desire. There was even a special dark colored, plush towel for removing makeup so I wouldn't feel bad mucking up the white ones. Speaking of towels...they are just one more attention to luxury detail. Super fluffy and absorbent. Bathroom rugs are like walking on a cloud. My room even had a whirlpool tub! The bed is so soft and has so many pillows, you could spend your whole weekend right there. Freshly baked homemade cookies greet you upon arrival. Breakfast (prepared to your liking) is served in your room. (My room had two separate seating areas, in addition to the bedroom. Queen for a day!) Jodie and John were so kind, warm, accommodating and helpful. I can't wait to go back!

I travel extensively for work and was lucky enough to come across the Dennison Street Inn in a…read morerecent search of where to stay in Colonial Beach, VA. This was hands down the right choice. Not only was the interior of the Inn impeccable, from its cleanliness to it's time set furniture and ambience but also, my room, the King Charles Suite, was huge and provided every comfort of home. In addition to every necessary amenity, I was also able to be super efficient at work as the internet was very fast and reliable. Jody was the absolute best host anyone could ask for. She was friendly and knew what I needed before I even asked for it. She was an amazing cook also, preparing the best cedar plank salmon I have ever had! All her meals were freshly made and delicious, accompanied by fresh herbs and veggies from her garden. I have definitely found my go-to place to stay when traveling to Colonial Beach!

When I called to ask why, the manager I spoke to was completely unprofessional and angry. He didn't provide any reason for not granting the refund, just said it was my problem. My personal theory is that this hotel is going out of business and they are desperate for revenue - even willing to forever lose business from what would have been a repeat customer (we like Colonial Beach). STAY AWAY.

We loved this hotel…read more We have traveled all up and down the east coast since the pandemic, and have come to accept mediocre service due to poor staffing, so it was a thrill to go to a hotel that not only had adequate but excellent service. Everyone here from the check in counter, the housekeeping and the breakfast service was polite, friendly and just plain nice. The hotel itself seems quite new. The room was very clean, and the hotel itself was very quiet. Rooms seemed quite soundproof, though it was not full when we were there. Breakfast was good with lots of hot options (eggs, meat, and baked cinnamon rolls) and the pancake maker on demand a highlight. Every time we have strayed from Marriott I have regretted it. Not this time. We would absolutely stay here again.

Total relaxation with every detail taken care of. First the husband/wife innkeepers Shawn and Steve were amazing and cared so much that we had a wonderful stay. We had my elderly parents w us in their ground floor room called the "Islandscape"and we had one of the main house "Narada" room. The view and location were fantastic. The breakfasts were special 3 course including fresh fruit and something sweet and savory. The baked goods every day by Shawn showed her love and talent for baking--even a goodie bag at our departure. If I lived closer, I would come more often! There's a game room, binoculars, hot chocolate w mini marshmallows, beautiful sitting areas to enjoy the view throughout the property including the front porch where we hung out after dinner. The restaurant right across the street about a stone's throw away at Charles Street served tapas and seafood w live jazz in a Sat night. We also tried Bugeye Grill another night and they were fantastic too. Never really had to get back in the car as you can walk just a few blocks up to the main part of town w a few shops and restaurants. Right next door is an outdoor salty tiki bar that looks fun when it warms up more. I could go on and on. Oh, and Calvert Cliffs park is only 10 min away by car where you can find shark teeth and fossils, which we did! Soo much better than a hotel or airbnb!

However, they are…read moreundergoing a "complete renovation" Also, however, that doesn't excuse the condition of the room I was given (for 9 nights). If it would have been a one night stay I could have overlooked most of the issues, but it wasn't, so I didn't. Initial: room reeked of mildew. I combatted this by using housekeeping's odor eliminator spray (I used a lot) and kept the a/c fan on the entire time I was in the room and that seemed to at least keep the smell knocked down. The bathroom was basically a disaster. The toilet was unacceptable: small, cracks and marks on the seat, way low to the ground. Grouting/sealing at the base was discolored and peeling away. Shower head was unacceptable. Non-maneuverable, poor water dispersion, poor water pressure. No stopper/plug in the bathroom sink. Window was unacceptable. Almost like it was stained or something. There were what appeared to be nicotine stains (drips) on the wall across from the bathroom. Carpet had spots/stains. Door was drafty. The smoke detector was literally hanging by wires from the ceiling. Service was hit or miss. I was told upon check-in that my room would only be serviced every 3 days. Which I thought was odd, but whatever. Third day rolls around (Saturday) I had the "do not disturb" sign out (I forgot); housekeeping didn't knock, didn't ask, just slid a note under the door saying (in essence) since I had the do not disturb sign on the door, they "didn't disturb" So it was 5 days until I got fresh towels. It took a day or more extra until my trash was taken out and the bed was made for the first time. I voiced all my complaints (about the condition) to the hotel the day after I checked in when they texted me and asked me about my stay. Hotel said they would follow up with me, that never happened. Contacted Choice Hotels corporate and told them everything (and sent photos) and that seems also be a dead-end. All in all this was a most unpleasant and unacceptable experience. I would not recommend this hotel, I would not recommend the Choice brand (which encompasses a lot of different hotel brands) and I definitely would not repeat.
