Exactly what we needed. Busch Gardens weekend trip for Hallo-Scream. Late check in was easy, Beds were clean and comfortable, Shower had good pressure, and water was nice and hot. We went with the cheaper option because we were only going to be there about 8 hours to get some sleep. No Regrets.

Affordable Williamsburg choice

We stayed 1 night between two days at the local amusement and water parks. Just there to sleep and shower, so the reasonable price is attractive. The room had what we needed and the beds were comfortable.
