America's Inn

I barely slept because I kept worrying someone might break into my room. The building looked dirty, dark, and frightening inside, and people sat smoking right in front of the entrance, blocking it. Trash bags were piled by the main door too. The bed was hard, the TV didn’t work, and water dripped from the bathroom ceiling all night. I still can’t tell if it was water, since the bathroom smelled bad. This was the worst part of my trip to Williamsburg. At $78 a night, I suppose you get what you pay for. I’d spend a little more for somewhere cozy and avoid that stress on vacation.

The room was very large and looked fairly clean, though I couldn’t tell how deep the cleaning went. I noticed a few white spots on the floor and didn’t like the somewhat sickening smell, which reminded me of fruity vape liquid. The General Manager was nice, though some of the others weren’t as friendly. We had to ask for more towels, and there were no pillows or sheets for the pullout sleeper. It was nighttime, after 8, and the single person at the front desk acted like nobody could provide any. The room was spacious, but for the price I think I could have found a better hotel. Next time I’d try other options first. Still, this place was better than the Motel 6 on Richmond Road, which was filthy, smelled awful, had ragged furniture held together with tacks, and had very nasty pillow covers and sheets.

People yelled in the hallway all night, and the toilet couldn’t be used without getting a plunger from the office. The room was extremely dusty, and my husband had to go to the store for three air fresheners and decongestant medicine because of the smoke. We had reserved a first-floor, non-smoking room but were given a smoking room on the second floor instead. This was the worst place we’ve ever stayed. Never again.

I asked for a room with two beds because I had kids, and paid $50 for the night. They gave me a key, but the room had just one bed. When I went back to explain, they gave me a key to a different room that was infested with roaches. They were in the fridge, microwave, bed sheets, and all over the walls. The room smelled moldy. I don’t know how they’re still in business. It’s disgusting.
