"The beds and pillows were amazing! Continental breakfast was really good too. Staff were friendly. Our room was clean. Love the snack and beverage area, prices were reasonable. "

"This experience fell far below the standard that was advertised and expected. First, I scheduled a timeshare presentation and paid the required $49 fee. After confirming my slot, your team canceled it, stating the time was no longer available, yet my payment has not been refunded. This is unacceptable, as the cancellation was not initiated by me. Second, one of the main reasons I booked this unit was for the in-room jacuzzi tub. However, the hot water only filled about one-quarter of the tub before turning cold. Maintenance confirmed the unit has only a 50-gallon water heater, making it impossible to use the tub alongside basic needs like showering or washing dishes. This rendered a key advertised amenity unusable and forced us to ration hot water, which is unreasonable for a paid stay. Additionally, the unit was not properly cleaned upon arrival. We found dirty silverware, a moldy sandwich left in the microwave, hair throughout the unit including the bathtub, and floors that were visibly dirty and not vacuumed. These conditions are unacceptable and clearly indicate poor cleaning standards. The shared amenities were also disappointing, as the pool and hot tub were consistently overcrowded, often wall-to-wall with guests, making them difficult to enjoy. Finally, I made multiple attempts to contact management and received no response or follow-up."

"Such a fun facility. The Saturday night buffet was excellent with choices and quality. All the food kiosks kept the kids happy. Play the Ice man in the Arcade as you can win the most tickets to use to “buy” stuff in gift shop. The water park is exceptional, again a lot of choices for every age group. The room was as advertised and very clean. Beautiful view off our third floor balcony. The water park is available from 10:00am ( website say 1pm but when I called was told 10am) even though you can’t check in until 4:00pm. Check out is 11:00am but your park pass is still good until 8pm. Two full days of fun!!"

"I'm going to start with the one (and only!) suggestion I have for the property for improvement. Everything about our unit was great, except for the walk-in shower in the master bathroom. The shower head was of the older style water-saver type - very little water pressure and a low volume of water. In that big shower booth, that shower head did not produce enough water to make it a comfortable experience. The parts of you that are in the weak hot water stream can stay warm, while the rest of you is freezing because you're standing in the cool air. Also, someone with thick or long hair will have a hard time washing their hair in that shower. There are modern water-saver shower heads that do way better than this one did. Otherwise, the unit was wonderful and we had an enjoyable stay. Kitchen was modern and stocked with all the basics. Advice: If you're a coffee drinker, there is a full-size drip coffeemaker in the unit, but the provided coffee and supplies are basic hotel stuff. Recommend bringing your own coffee if you savor your cuppa. Tea drinkers will want to bring their own tea and a kettle. There is a grocery store about three miles down the road that should have anything you need. Building is in a quiet area - trains do rumble through occasionally, but they're quick. You can also faintly hear Busch Gardens. It's about a 10 minute drive to Busch, and 10-15 minute drive to the Colonial Williamsburg Visitor Center. 5 stars, highly recommend! Thank you Parkside! "

"Internet wasn’t that good "

"Staying the night was not bad. It definitely was showing it's age. With the walls being very thick, it was quiet in the room, which was nice. The heat was provided by a portable heater on the counter. The clerk was very friendly and helpful."

"The breakfast was ok to say the least. The hotel is old and the pictures are misleading. Also we stayed for a few days and never had room service come in and clean. "

"Not the cleanest but quiet and reasonable price"
