Suburban Studios Williamsburg Central

The front desk staff were very nice, and check-in was easy. The location was decent and close to everything we needed. But the room cleanliness was a real problem. I wiped down the bathroom door, counters and shower walls, and the towel showed how poorly the room had been cleaned. The door looked splattered with urine at first, though thankfully it turned out to be something permanent. The tub and toilet were cracked all over, and my husband slipped in the shower because there were no treads. He cut his foot on a missing chunk in the tub bottom. There was dirt and dust scattered across the room floor. The trains passing by are loud, so keep that in mind if noise bothers you. We knew a $100 room for one night might be old or run down, and they seemed to have tried to upgrade it, but cleanliness was the one thing I needed. We only needed a bed for a few hours and left quickly. For anything more than a last minute cheap bed, I’d look elsewhere.

This place is old and run down, despite the hotel description calling it recently renovated. There’s mold in a lot of spots, the balcony door barely closes, and the beds are worn out. Lights are coming out of the ceiling, the toilet looks ready to fall apart, and the TV has a nest of wires behind it. Even at its already low price, I don’t think it’s worth it.

The room smelled musty and had cockroaches, plus a broken couch. At least the bed and pillows were comfortable.

The front desk was helpful, but I wouldn’t recommend this place if a clean, comfortable room matters to you. The floor was dirty, the room smelled bad, and the photos didn’t honestly show what the rooms were like. Tissue was stuffed into the door peephole because there was no glass in it, which could be a safety concern and let bugs in.
