Soiled towels,and Loud buses that idle outside your parking lot window starting 3:30 a.m.- 5 a.m and idle for over an hour.
Bus driver don't care (He's up already) and the hotel management that will tell you they would rather have bus business, than yours. Strongly do not recommend.

I attended school in Williamsburg and it's one of my favorite places, plus I've got friends who still live in the area....all in all, I've been to Williamsburg a fair amount and have either stayed personally in many hotels in the area or have had friends who have stayed in them.
Personally, I've stayed at the La Quinta a couple of times and have found the hotel a pleasant place to stay each time. It's not a high-end hotel and the price reflects that. If you're looking for a really nice hotel with more amenities, look elsewhere. But if you're looking for a decent place to stay that's conveniently located and close to Colonial Williamsburg and restaurants, then the LaQuinta is a fairly safe bet. The rooms are average-sized and the beds have always been very comfortable when I've stayed there. The hotel is located on Bypass Road and it's close to a number of restaurants (Cracker Barrel, a Chinese Buffet behind it the in the shopping center that's great, a Dairy Queen) and a mini-Golf place that's fun in the evenings. It's also close to the local K-Mart if you needed something that you left behind.
The only caveat is one that's been mentioned on other reviews---it's one of those motels that have outside entrances and no elevators to the second-floor. If mobility is an issue, you might want to look elsewhere if getting up to the second floor really isn't possible. Also, the pool is outdoors and not heated so if you come visit in the off-season and have your heart-set on swimming, find another hotel.

My family and i stayed here last year in May,(we had a family wedding) we found it nice and very comfortable. the location was great and there were plenty of restaurants all around. we got the price from expedia it was even cheaper than booking direct.

We stayed at the LaQuinta Williamsburg during a trip to Busch Gardens. I must say I was very disappointed with our room. When we arrived, the room smelled musty and slightly like animals. We had to actually go out and buy an air freshener to place on the dresser. We didn't know until we checked in, but our room was in the section that allowed animals. The mattress in our room was coated in some sort of plastic sheeting and was very uncomfortable to sleep on. Also, the toilet ran all night long. Otherwise, I would say it was very average. The continental breakfast was very average also.
