My seventy-five year old mother and I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express in Newport News Virginia for three nights starting on Thursday, October 2nd, 2008. When making our reservations online, we requested a room on the top floor, away from the elevator and the Interstate, and we received a room on the fourth floor (of five) near the end of the hall, away from the elevator.

The medium-sized room included two double beds, each with four pillows on them, a clock radio, one office-type chair with a table/desk, a large television with quite a few channels and a remote, and a coffeemaker and an iron/ironing board in the sliding closet. The small kitchen area has a very cold mini-refrigerator, a small microwave, a sink, a two-burner stove top, as well as some utensils, pots, glasses, plates, a drying rack, and some dish soap in the kitchen cabinets.

The tiny bathroom was very hard to get into, as you had to squeeze between the toilet and the bathtub to get the large door closed. The sink area was outside of the bathroom and included three sets of towels, a hairdryer, bottles of shampoo, conditioner and lotion, as well as two bars of soap, a shower cap, and a vanity kit. There were two handles in the shower/tub, which my mother was able to use to get in and out with ease.

The location is very close to Yorktown, Williamsburg, and the Fort Eustis Military Base, but is not close to shopping or more mainstream restaurants. We also found it difficult to get off the property, as the traffic was pretty constant, and a u-turn is needed to head towards Newport News.

After taxes, the American Automobile Association rate per night for Room 428 came to $100.24 U.S. Funds. Overall, we were very comfortable in the room as it was clean, but not as convenient to amenities (shopping/restaurants) as other Holiday Inns in the Hampton Roads area. Still, it met our needs, but be warned, the bathroom is small and will prevent us from making a return visit...

When you first pull into the parking lot it just looks seedy. The area really doesn't look that safe. I didn't have any problems but it didn't make me feel at ease. I made sure I hid everything in my car for the night.

Check in
It was pretty quick and easy. They already had my room ready. I requested a king but I was told there were non available.

Room
Everything looked old and tired. Nothing was broken but it didn't look nice like the other H.I.E. I have stayed, that were fresh looking.

TV
They had a lot of TV channels and I really wished they gave me a guide of all the channels. It took me 10 minuted to find Monday Night Football.

Bed
No problems. Quite comfortable. The pillows were another problem. They were either very hard or way soft, nothing in between.

Bathroom
Despite the look it was clean. I had hot water right away in the morning.

Breakfast
Free and quite good. I like the hot choices like eggs and biscuits.

Internet
They had free internet but I never logged on.

Parking
Free

Overall
It was an old looking HI Express. The area didn't make me feel at ease and I think I would pick a different hotel next time just to feel a little better. For what I got I felt it was a little over priced. There are many low cost hotels in the area.

The room was exceptionally nice, updated furniture and a very comfortable bed. The location is 1 minute from the main gate at Ft. Eustis. Breakfast was better than average, which is a good thing, as any eateries are a couple of miles away. There was no gym (you could use the gym at the adjoining property, but it was very outdated). The staff was very attentive during my stay. I would definetely recommend this hotel.

The hotel is located close to all the historic locations as well as Busch Gardens and Water Country. It did have a great price for a suite during the week of the 4th. But I was not impressed with the kitchen area. It was about the size of a wet bar with a burner. It has a small frig. and a little bigger sink than is in some wet bars with no conter room besides the sink and burners. The room itself is nice. The bathroom is almost claustraphobic. Their is a laundry area, a nice selecion of breakfast items that are kept supplied. Their is a pool for your use at the hotel next door. Very nice front desk and maid service that helped us take care of our linen needs when our son had a nose bleed.

This hotel has alot of potential but don't stay here when there is a bus or a two outside! I stayed here with family while traveling to Jamestown and we checked in only to find a BUS filled with teenage boys attending a BASKETBALL tournament at the same time staying in the hotel. They were running amuck in the hotel until I complained to security about it. They had their hands full stopping the boys from banging around in their rooms at all hours of the night. Things finally quieted down.

The room was clean and nice but the breakfast was chaos in the morning. Don't plan on eating in the breakfast nook--it is too small and too crowded--taked your food back to your room or else.
