This 27-room, no-frills Budget Inn is one of the most
affordable places to stay in Williamsburg. A prime location within walking
distance of the colonial area makes this motel an excellent value -- but don’t
expect much more than a dated guestroom and (seasonal) outdoor pool.

Scene
Classic budget motel with an outdoor pool
Situated on a four-lane road just outside Colonial
Williamsburg, this traditional budget motel consists of one-story brick
buildings wrapped around a parking lot. At the center of the lot is a swimming
pool surrounded by a chain-link fence. It’s far from beautiful, but with rates at half the
price of the competition, it’s hard to complain. The management clearly makes
an effort to spruce the place up with shrubbery, hanging plants, and small
flowerbeds. A tiny, fluorescent-lit reception office is loaded with
tourist pamphlets, decorative plants, and American flags. A figurine of the Hindu elephant god, Ganesha,
is perched on a ledge in the corner, and a faded sticker of another Hindu god
greets guests as they walk in the door. (The accented staff members at the
motel are, presumably, from India.)Many guests remark on the cleanliness of the rooms, but we
found the opposite to be true during our visit. We spotted bits of dirt on a
bedside table, what looked like a plastic syringe cap in the bathroom floor,
and cobwebs on the patios.
Location
Central location next to Colonial Williamsburg
Located just off Route 60 in Williamsburg, this Budget Inn
is bordered by a four-lane road, pancake restaurant, and forest. Plenty of shops
and chain restaurants are within a three-minute drive, and guests can walk to the
heart of Colonial Williamsburg in less than 15 minutes (if they don’t mind
walking along a busy road). Popular theme parks are less than 10 minutes away
by car.- Three-minute drive to Colonial Williamsburg

42-minute drive to the Richmond InternationalAirport
Rooms
Dated motel rooms with mini-fridges, microwaves, and coffeemakers
The rooms at Budget Inn have one king bed or two double beds,
with a maximum capacity of five guests (rollaway beds are available). Highlights
include basic coffeemakers, mini-fridges, and microwaves. Decor-wise, they are
about as typical as budget motel rooms get -- patterned polyester bedding, generic flower
paintings, bland wooden furniture, and plastic flowers. Old box TVs and worn
furniture also add to the dated feel of the rooms.
Features
An outdoor pool, free Wi-Fi, and not much else
The best feature at this Budget Inn is its outdoor pool,
which is decent-sized with an eight-foot deep-end (it was closed for the season
during our visit). The motel also has an ice machine, vending machine, free
Wi-Fi, and offers 10-percent discounts on breakfast at the pancake restaurant
next door.
