Highland Springs Vacation Packages

I booked a room with a large jacuzzi tub as shown in the pictures did not get it we ended up with a regular size tub yes it had jets but not what we wanted. Second the parking was awful the individuals next door to us took over every parking spot out front of our building which made it so that we had to carry two sleeping toddlers across the parking lot because 1 apartment took up the whole parking in front of our building. Also we got a room on the second floor which we were perfectly fine with not our first time as we come down here every year but to their sister resorts. With out even being asked we were switched to another room because it was down stairs. If asked we would have chosen to stay in the upstairs room in the back side. Not very happy with our stay and will be rethinking about staying here ever again.

With a daughter attending William & Mary, we have a lot of opportunity to travel to Williamsburg, so for our last visit we decided to stay at the Rochambeau, having heard very good things about this retro-styled motel. We were glad that we did! The property is immaculate, in fact I don't remember every including the phrase "immaculate parking lot" in a review. Ever. But that's the case here. From the driveway to the parking lot to the grounds, everything was, well, "immaculate." That certainly bode well for the room, and indeed the room didn't disappoint. We are fans of the old "motel" style rooms and seek them out whenever we go on road trips. We have never stayed in a motel room as well-restored and well-maintained as we did at the Rochambeau. Everything was perfect. Um, there's that word again, "immaculate." Oh, and I shouldn't forget the amenities. In the back, away from the road, there's a circle of chairs around a fire pit. There are several barbecue grills and of course there's cornhole. There's also a small building at the back perfect for holding events, so if you decide to do the family reunion thing, or the W&M graduation party thing, you have a perfect space to do it at the Rochambeau. Remember, this is a motel. So if you need spa treatments, 24/7 elegant cuisine room service or a bathroom the size of a small cottage, this won't be your vibe. But if you can appreciate the charm of an immaculate (there's that word again!) recreation of a 1950's motel, stay here!
