If I visit kings dominion again, I’ll likely stay somewhere else.
Pros:

Great location near Kings Dominion Amusement park!

Cons:

The bedding did not appear to be clean, and there was trash left on the floor from the previous guest that had not been removed. The closet also contained stained pillows and a blanket that had been left in a pile in the corner rather than folded or properly stored. Additionally, when we went to breakfast between 8:00 and 8:30 a.m., several items were not being replenished even though there was still more than an hour remaining before breakfast ended.

Great location next to Kings Dominion
Pros:

Location to Kings Dominion and the space is pet friendly. The staff was really nice and helpful.

Cons:

The breakfast was not good. I stuck with cereal and yogurt. The elevator was out of order during our stay. We were on the second floor so it wasn't too bad but that was slightly inconvenient.

Hrôza, neodporúčam!
Pros:

Okrem polohy k zábavnému parku nevidím žiadne pozitíva.

Cons:

Moje najväčšie sklamanie z asi 15 hotelov, ktoré som navštívil v priebehu jedného mesiaca v USA a Kanade. Absolútne nedodržiavanie štandardov IHG. Generálneho manažéra nebolo možné kontaktovať, ani mailom nereagoval. Víťah bol nefunkčný, raňajky absolútne nedostatočné, špinavé koberce na chodbách, smrad na chodbách. Na našu žiadosť nám neposkytli žiadnu kompenzáciu. Niektoré miestnosti na prízemí boli bez dverí, len igelitom zabezpečené. Ten hotel najlepšie vyzerá len z vonku. Ani nepriateľa by som tam neposlal!

We went to Kings Dominion 2 days this hotel was great very close to the park.
Pros:

The room was perfect and plenty of space. A lot of people on here said the thermostat did not work and they were freezing. It does work you just have to know what your doing. The bed was very comfortable. We did not eat the breakfast.

Cons:

The TV in our room did not work it looked like one of the cords behind the tv had been cut. So my boys were upset about that.

If I knew it was going to be like that I would have jumped back on the highway to go back home.
Pros:

The location

Cons:

The elevator did not work and the stairs smelled terrible. There was someone sitting on the stairs and that made me feel uncomfortable.

The large room doesn't justify the many issues encountered.
Pros:

The size of the room/suite

Cons:

Elevator has been out for weeks. Understaffed hotel.
Room was not clean.
No linens for bed. Had to go to the front desk to be handed a blanket and sheets in a pile.
Curtains were off of the tracks.
Bathroom faucet leaks onto countertop.
1 garbage can in a room that can sleep 7 and the can didn't have a garbage bag in it.
Previous renter's hair left on bathroom floor.
Half empty water bottle left in the closet.
At breakfast, 1 worker, doing the best he could, busting his butt to help alot of guests and also having to cover the front desk.

Pros:

Right across the street from Kings Dominion. Room was huge. Bathroom large. Beds very comfortable.

Cons:

Some of the outlets looked pried apart, one light didn't work. Not your fault. If you aren't told, how would you know. I forgot to mention on way out. Was quite busy. Breakfast was great. Staff was great!

Very dissatisfied!!!!
Pros:

Location. One of he front desk clerks was awesome. He went beyond his duties to make things right for us.

Cons:

It was understaffed. The room did not start out the cleanest and housekeeping never came to clean or put fresh towels into the bathroom at any time of our 3 night stay. Why have a sticker on the bathroom mirror regarding towels when they don’t even bother to check to begin with. We
had to keep getting our keycard reactivated every time we left the hotel. Was unable to watch tv at all our first night there due to remote issues. Overall rating for this hotel is a 3 out of 10.
