Affordable, safe, and beautiful!

I am a female solo traveler with my dog. This was a great affordable place to stay in the Williamsburg area. About 30 minutes to all the attractions. It is a small hotel located in an RV park and marina area. Absolutely beautiful place! The parking lot lights at night are very bright and the blinds do not block the light. My only complaint.

I enjoyed the quietness of the area. The view around the marina was beautiful and relaxing. I would have liked an ice machine on the property. Also I would have liked a simple breakfast offered, since the Blue Heron is not opened for breakfast and it is a long way back out to find a place that is opened.

Hotel description is deceiving, we had no idea our resort was an RV resort. Pictures of the rooms showed wood flooring but our room had a concrete floor.

The property is very quaint and well maintained however, it’s so bright at night. They need to invest in black out curtains that fit the windows or cut down on the outdoor lighting.

The riverside views were amazing. Can imagine that later on in the season when the pool is open and the area more crowded, that it may not be as quiet.

Beautiful hidden gem on the river...

Such a beautiful property on the Chickahominy River that is so well maintained and updated. My room was fresh and clean with plenty of towels for my 2 day stay. The adjoining restaurant "The Blue Heron" was fantastic! Unfortunately, the internet was down for my entire stay and I was unable to watch TV and had a difficult time using my laptop and phone. Additionally, the wood blinds do not provide a lot of coverage, so the lights from the parking lot keep the room very bright during the night. Thankfully, I was still able to get a good night of sleep. The staff is incredibly friendly and responded to every request with a sense of urgency. I would definitely stay here again!
