All the necessities were available. Comp breakfast is poor and very basic but it get's you through the day. Not memorable but cheap enough.

The hotel was really very nice, the staff were great, and the price was quite affordable. Nice, clean rooms, pretty good free breakfast (hot food, not just danishes), and super location, not far from sights and near a bunch of good restaurants. I'd stay there again in a heartbeat.

This is a comfortable and convenient location. The facility provides everything that we need and the staff is always helpful. We stay here quite frequently and our room is always clean. This stay was very quiet on the 2nd floor. The breakfast is only adequate and I seem to remember it being better some time back.

On our way to a ship's reunion in Norfolk, VA we found it an additional pleasure to stop a day early at the Best Western Plus Historic Area Inn in Williamsburg.
