Colonial Beach Vacation Packages

Great location and beautiful hotel. The nightly parking fee was outrageous though.

The first room I was booked into had a truly terrible smell — bad enough to ask for a room change. The staff was very cooperative, but they moved me into a pretty musty smelling room with a broken AC/HVAC and a very loud portable AC/filtration unit. I’ve stayed there multiple times in the past and always had great experiences. But after this, not sure I can bring myself to go back.

Quality has suffered. The front desk agent was impatient and unclear. No one opened a door for me any of the 3 times I came and left. Room service has been shut down. There were no water bottles in the room and nowhere to get a snack, not even a vending machine. I was given a $700 suite since nothing else was available. (Really?) The overhead light was missing a bulb in the main room and there was no chair in the bedroom, so the only place to read was sitting on the bed. The mattress was too small for the bed frame so I kept hitting my shins. The breakfast restaurant messed up my simple order. There was only one server covering the entire restaurant. She was very kind and clearly put her best effort into her job, but management had made that job very difficult. What can I say that is nice? The lobby is beautiful. The restaurant is, too. The bathroom was very nice. My room was quiet. I wish I had a better report. I wish the hotel hadn’t made me feel sad about the state of the Marriott world.

The staff isn’t great. It’s like you’re an inconvenience checking in. No one told us about amenities, about the hotel credit, the wifi, anything.

It was a very nice place to stay. Bed hard to get in and out for us older adults. Would like to have had some glasses for water.
