Captain John Smith Inn Williamsburg

After searching for over three hours late at night for a decent place to sleep, finding this inn was an absolute lifesaver. The gentleman at the front desk was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and immediately put us at ease after a stressful night. He told us that while the property isn't luxurious, they pride themselves on being clean and organized—and he wasn't lying! The room was spotless, tidy, and everything we needed. Yes, the furnishings are a bit outdated and worn, but the exceptional cleanliness and genuine hospitality made up for it completely. If you just need a clean, reliable, and welcoming place to lay your head, I highly recommend this spot. We are so grateful!

The place is not at all like the pictures! The door would not fully seal, the AC did not work and was half way off the wall, and the bed was dirty with hair and a dirty brown handprint on the side of the box spring. Be carful coming in cause it looks like a half way house and you'll have people watch you the entire time, like they're casing you for later. We even saw the pool **** smoking guy that was mentioned in another review, posted up right next to the grill. Avoid this place at all cost and just pay a little more or catch another place while there is a sale! The entire place needs to be completely rebuilt, or at least an extensive remodel, kicking out the people who obviously live there!

The website does Not match the reality. This is an older hotel but the staff when checking in acted like they couldn’t find my reservation. Had to show my confirmation so make sure you save it. Half the place is live ins. Water in the shower doesn’t get hot, it’s warm. No continental breakfast. No pool. The frogs live in the pool so you will hear them at night. Carpet was sticky so wear socks or shoes. Ice machine downstairs was broken so had to go upstairs. When people shut there doors, you can hear it like it’s your door shutting. Train goes by several times a night. It is convenient to things.

Scary property, no pool, obvious people live there, not reommended, brown water cane or off faucet

This is a motel that is cheap and okay to stay at for 1 or 2 nights. The bed was okay, the sheets were clean and I didn't see any crawling bugs. The mini fridge was a good size and kept my water cold. The motel is in a great location, not too far from Busch Gardens, and near a lot of restaurants and the Premium Outlets. There's a lot that was bad. The carpet was very dirty and stained. The two small pillows on the bed were flat. The AC unit was good at cooling the room but it was very loud. It made whining and squealing noises. The shower was the worst part. It was too dirty to use, but at least the shower curtain was clean. One washcloth that I was given had a red stain. There's a dead roach under the sink. The pool was closed, and management said that it gets too cold at night to have the pool open. There are many people that sit on the balcony and look like they live there. The motel is next to a train track. At night I heard at least 3 trains go by. I live next to an airport, and the noise of the train sounded like 5 planes continuously going by. Sometimes the noise of the AC drowned out the noise of the train.

The hotel is very clean and you get great value for the price. The owners are very hospitable and accessible. The property is very quiet and close to shops restaurants and other interesting places to visit.

Great price for the stay. Comfortable bed. Very clean. Only thing is to fix ice machine. Very good location as it's close to wherever you need to go to.

Room was neat at tidy. TV was simple to operate (Guide function worked to actually see what was on, and the list of channels was easy to navigate). No frills, but for place to come and relax and sleep after a long day in Colonial Williamsburg, and was perfectly fine. Bathroom and no stains or grit even in the grout. Also, lots of Restaurants nearby. And easy to find as it was on the main road. Front desk guy after hours was right there too.

Great place to visit, beds are very comfortable. Clean
