    Begbugs on sheet

    Beware of this hotel there were lots of Bedbugs on my bed. Unacceptable and I would not go back here again if I had a choice. Inspect your bed before taking your room for the night. It was crawing all over me when I felt it. The welts came out after a day or two. They were under the pillows and the bed corners by the headboard.

    my excellent breakfast!

    I stayed for two nights over a long weekend and enjoyed my stay so much. I almost gave Courtyard 5 stars, but ultimately there were a couple things that didn't quite make it to perfection. Mostly because the hotel is a bit dated, which you'll notice in some places painted over several times and/or peeling, the drawers in my room were fussy, and there was rust at the bottoms of the door jams. They don't offer any complimentary meals, though they make up for that with an excellent bistro. The pluses here are the superb decor. I was really aesthetically pleased with the vibrant wallpapers in just the right spots and the artfully placed pictures. The design is amazing. My room was spacious, especially the bathroom. I thought there was a good ratio of elevators to hotel wings and it was easy to find your way around. I parked and left several times and got turned around, but always found my room. Every single member of staff was exceedingly polite and always greets you. I was pleased to find that a member of housekeeping tidied my room while I was out. My room was just shy of $80 per night, which is the going rate for hotels that service conventions or act as overflows for guests. This was the first nice hotel I got to stay in that was associated with a con. The bistro is pretty awesome, even if they aren't open 100% convenient times. I got an awesome breakfast of 2 eggs, toast, fruit cup (or potatoes), and sausage (or bacon) for $9.50. It was better than some restaurants I have eaten at. If I ever have reason to stay in Williamsburg, it'll be here.

    Second floor veiw from my room a great quality relaxing place to stay.

    AC unit was very loud, tub was sitting at back entrance. Rooms are outdated. The staff was very friendly, which helped.

    Stay clear of this one. Showers not clean and vents not clean and furniture torn up at least in the room we were in.

    With 7 and 4 year old granddaughters I am surprised I have never visited this playplace. It's not…read morereally a cafe, I mean there are some snacks and drinks you can buy, and some tables to sit at, but they are a very underwhelming part of this venue. Located very conveniently in the end of a shopping center in the Williamsburg area of York County there is adequate parking and easy access. On entry is some type of eclectic gift shop of a sort, and a table gaming area, arcade, etc. There is comfy seating all around for adults and kids, an art area, an area for the very littles. The gated area has cozy nooks for quiet play, active play for various ages, climbing and sliding. We made our reservation online for a story telling activity with a speech therapist, who very kindly spent just few minutes after with my 4 year old who receives speech services. They also offer a preschool option we are considering. I think this cafe fills a big gap since most playplaces attached to fast food venues closed at Covid and didn't reopen. It's a great place for rainy day activity, but probably gets kind of loud and crazy on weekends especially with onsite birthday parties and such. The price point is average between free and say Busch Gardens. The preschool class once a week from 9 to 12 is $30, so $10 an hour is pretty decent. I was impressed with bathrooms that have wipes, diapers, extra onsies for baby blowouts. They sell grippy socks for kids to wear in the play space and I don't know what all. There are high chairs, lots of shoe cubbies, you name it. I think it is really best for a mobile child at least crawling to about age 5. Beyond age 5 I think many of the active centers are too boring for school age kids. But I haven't brought my 7 year old yet so I can't evaluate. Anyway, 5 stars because what could anyone improve? Great concept and something needed in communities!

    This is a nice indoor spot to bring young kids. It's spacious with lots for kids to do. Most…read moreimportantly it's VERY CLEAN and everything is in great condition. There's a parent area with free drip coffee and free Wi-Fi; they advertise that you can work or read while your kids play. ((This just isn't possible for me because they BLAST Disney & Cocomelon kids music. The speaker is right next to the adult seating area and infiltrates your brain. Bring your headphones!!!)) This is a nice spot to splurge on if you need to let your kids play inside - especially on a rainy day.

As many reviewers have noted, the lobby and…read moremeeting room areas are refurbished and lovely, but the guest rooms don't seem to have had any incremental maintenance since they were built. As we went to our room on the second floor, the carpet was rumpled and coming up every few feet. We also noted several spots of drywall crumbs that remained there the entire weekend without being cleaned. The lack of cleaning and repairs followed into the room. There were several bobby pins and spots of dirt on the floor from previous visitors. Only one of the three lights by the window worked--the only lighting in the main bedroom area. There was a spacious mini fridge, but it was so cold that several of our waters were partially frozen the next day. (There was no way to adjust the temperature.) The wooden storage cabinet that covered the fridge was rotting away. The shower constantly leaked. Several outlets were cracked. The lock to the patio was snapped in half. Thankfully, we did not have issues with bedbugs (I checked our mattresses), but two of our friends on the third floor were covered with bites after one night. Also thankfully, our AC was ice cold, but there were many areas of the hotel and meeting rooms where it didn't work at all. The only redeeming quality about this place was the employees, as all of them were very nice throughout the stay. They did a great job with the food and service during our convention event. I think the employees do the best they can given the situation at the hotel, but the rooms should be gutted for repairs and refurbishing at this point.

The property looked…read morealmost empty, but we still had to wait for the hard 4:00 p.m. check-in and were told our room was not ready. The stairs to our room looked worn out and run-down -- the first red flag. When we opened the door we were hit in the face with a strong mildew smell mixed with an overwhelming chemical perfume. Even my wife could smell it, and she lost most of her sense of smell after COVID. The carpet tiles should have been replaced about 20 years ago. I've been in the carpet business for 40-plus years. I know carpet. The rest of the room felt dated except for new ceiling lights. Housekeeping used so much perfume and cleaner to cover the old-carpet odor that it was over the top. Anytime I was in the room I felt dizzy. Dinner at The King's Arms was wonderful. That night we went to bed exhausted and woke up extremely dizzy and nauseous. I could not get out of bed until my wife went to CVS for Dramamine. We were supposed to take our daughter on rides at Busch Gardens that day. The Dramamine helped during the day. The second I walked back into the room, the spinning started again. I did not ask for another room that night because I assumed every room was treated the same. We booked the Woodland Inn, left most of our things at Kingsmill so we could catch the waterpark shuttle in the morning, spent the day at the waterpark, and came back to the same mildew, chemical smell, and dizziness. At that point I was sure it was the room -- not food poisoning, not heat. Online research confirmed those cleaning products can cause exactly this. We moved to the Hilton Garden Inn. Relief. I paid for two extra hotels out of pocket. Friends stayed here the week before. The wife said it did not feel clean and told us to go somewhere else. Her husband said it was nice. We should have listened to her. Four days later I am still dizzy and waking up with a headache. I emailed a manager. He said he talked to housekeeping, they noticed no chemical smell, and they work with those products every day. He took one night off the bill. I will not recommend Kingsmill. They spent millions on a spa and gym for residents and left guest rooms with old carpet and heavy chemical perfume. Do not stay here if you are sensitive to odors. Copy the body into both Google and TripAdvisor. Use the title on TripAdvisor only. If you want a shorter Google-only cut (roughly half this length), say so and I'll trim it.
