The James river hotel formally the King James is almost historical in Newport News. The hotel has been through VERY ROUGH times of people it's time in business. Overall it has truly stood the TEST OF TIME. The age of the rooms would be a five on my scale. However other than that I will stay again as I have done for over 40 years. God bless

Room was ice cold. No blankets on the bed only a very thin bedspread. We thought maybe housekeeping had missed it but when we called down to the front desk attendant said they didn’t have any.

It was my Birthday weekend and I booked a deluxe king room with the kitchenette but ended up with a deluxe king room without the kitchenette. Not only that our room was all the way at the end in a corner where I didn’t feel comfortable. When I went to the front desk to ask about my reservation he told me I booked for a deluxe king without the kitchenette, ok cool but when I asked to change rooms because I didn’t feel comfortable at the end of the walkway he told me they were all booked up and if I have any problems just let him know. Mind you they had more than 8 vacant rooms with the kitchenette on the bottom floor where we were staying and I’m pretty sure more on the 2nd floor. Even without the kitchenette I would have rather had another room but lesson learnt, my first and last time staying at this hotel. I did make the best of my birthday which was Saturday, April 5 and enjoyed myself at the beach while I was down there.

They don't provide hair dryer, the kitchen is nice and remodeled but the hotel does not not provide neither a coffee machine or toaster. The hotel have an ice machine in the alley but they disconnect it some nights. No extra blankets or pillows. Bathroom towels were very thin and cheap. If you like to have a cheap hotel, this is for you. For me I should have expected much more for what I paid for. I requested and was provided a non smoking room however one night the room above ours was occupied and I don't know how but we feel someone was in our room smoking, I waked very congested due to the cigarette smoke in our room. The parking lot was full of junkies at night, every night leaving trash everywhere, definitively don't recommend and will never comeback. For $ 10.00 more a night you can get a lot nicer and better hotels nearby.

It was absolutely and honestly nothing like the images that they display up here. Upon opening the door. Noticed the comforter were heavily stained. When i pulled the comforter off. It had a very huge burn hole on it. About the size of 4 irons. Then immediately Noticed the very dirty, dingy like pillows. The refrigerator and stand will fall or collapse soon. The chair in the room was filthy. Burn holes and all. Shower hadn't been cleaned. Toilet seat hadn't been cleaned. Had urine all over it. Upon trying to wash my hands. The handle on the faucet fell off once i touched it. I didn't even bother asking for a refund or anything. Because i felt like they gave me this room on purpose. I will be reaching out to the BBB. And supply them with the videos that I took of the room. Oh, and the smell of the room was very moving.

Minor problem was a loose sink faucet handle. Only 2 thin bath towels and washcloths - no hand towels, bath mat or shampoo. Parking spaces are a little narrow. Otherwise no complaints.

Not bad for cheap price

Room does what it needs if you’re just staying the night. Nothing luxurious. Staff was friendly and easy to work with. AC was obnoxiously loud in our room, unsure if it’s just the systems they use. Tiny showers. Overall, you get what you pay for.

Tears in the sheets, and plastic liner in bed. Only 2 pillows, 2 towels, 2 soaps, no shampoo.. very light on the extras. The location is great and the price was right, so that was good

Liked: Cleanliness

the price was right

AC was leaking on the floor. No housekeeping for a 2 night stay. Shower was tiny, but I didn't end up using it anyway. There is a huge empty area that they could easily put in a tub. The few updates attempted just made the older features look worse. The only way to get to your room is past the office, which makes for a very long walk if your car is parked far from the office.

Picture on web didn't match. Shower is very small. Not worth the price. No chairs to sit in the room. Only one hanger to hang up your clothes. And the bed was uncomfortable
