Unfortunately was on a floor that hadn't been renovated. The air and phone wasn't working, hot tub and laundry facilities out of order.

Staff very friendly

There were people smoking at the facility. I didn’t care much for that

Nice and remote. Clean

Excellent!

This property as of end of March 2024 is in dire need of renovation. Only the common breakfast/dining area seemed to be up-to-date; everything else: floor carpets, pool tiling, wall fixtures, elevator paneling, room wall painting/papering, and plumbing must’ve looked great in the mid-90s/2000s. Not so much nowadays. Riding that line between rustic and run-down. Totally understand that for the lower price, some expectations are easily tempered, but even the pool’s whiteboard indicated the water hadn’t been tested/treated in three days - right before a heavy use weekend! And no bathroom close by the pool; you have to go all the way back upstairs to reception to use the facilities.

The location, included breakfast, pool, and fireside movies were very convenient and nice for the price.

The balcony doors were locked, that was not a good thing.

Nice room and staff. Nice amenities. Breakfast included.

Stayed in April 2024

The coffee provided in the room was subpar, with only decaf available. Additionally, the coffee maker was unclean, with an old, used coffee bag left in the drainer. Regarding breakfast, while the muffins, coffee, and waffles were enjoyable, the hot options left much to be desired. The scrambled eggs and gravy were particularly disappointing; we tried them on the first day but couldn't bring ourselves to eat them again for the next two days. It would be beneficial if the hotel could rotate through different hot options, especially for guests staying multiple nights. Additionally, clearer and larger signage visible from the parking lot indicating the location of the reception would be greatly appreciated by first-time visitors.

On a positive note, the room size was ample, and having access to a balcony was appreciated. However, it was evident that the balcony had not been cleaned or dusted in months

Could have been a little cleaner, dusty furniture, no tea in the room, only coffee and didn't have tea bags at the office. Outside furniture covered in pollen and couldn't sit down.

We liked being on the ground floor, convenient to everything, the grounds were beautiful and breakfast was great.

It looks abandoned, dark and creepy in a lot of areas. The back yard area has the potential to look beautiful and it needs better lighting. The lil passage to the pool. Gross! Water dripping from ceiling, smelled like a wet dirty dog. My balcony door was off the track so that was very irritating.

The breakfast was really nice. The ambiance gives cute lil diner and you have a cool variety of foods.

The lighting could been more and first day trying take shower hot water wasn’t working.

The landscaping was not good

The proximity to Busch Gardens

Stayed in April 2024

The hotel's carpet, paint, etc. were a little dated. Also, our balcony was locked, which was weird.

The hotel was clean and the staff was fantastic. The location was reasonably convenient and I liked the historic grounds.

The toilet had trouble flushing, and the mattresses were very worn and saggy. It seems like the rooms in general need a little bit of updating (the TV was old as well though it didn't matter for us). This would go a long way.

Beautiful conference and dining areas, very reasonable rates, balconies and grounds were very nice. Really like the way the older building has been kept and fits in to the modern surroundings. Good breakfast.

Low ceilings, outdated

The location, indoor pool, breakfast

Stayed in March 2024

Room, especially bathroom was a little dated, pool was very busy and full of kids even at 10:30 pm

Big and beautiful hotel, very cozy, indoor pool is a plus. Decent breakfast.

My biggest complaint was the coffee at breakfast Friday (3/29) morning. We were in a hurry, so I didn't have a chance to track anyone down, but what came out of the coffee maker was ... confusing. Very watered down, but again, I don't know what the situation was and didn't have time to ask so hopefully, it was just a fluke!

Fort Magruder's location is great as it's about 10 mins to Busch Gardens, if that, and it's got a decent amount of restaurants, plus, a Harris Teeter tucked into a neighborhood about a mile away. We've stayed here a handful of times and found the rooms consistently clean and the staff friendly and helpful. All drains tend to have draining issues, but it's a small complaint. The hotel is very affordable and has a complimentary breakfast that is decent, offering eggs and sausage in addition to all the morning carbs. There's an indoor AND outdoor pool, but I don't think we've ever used either bc our stays have been short. As it's also a conference center, the lobby is cavernous and a little spooky at night, but my son and I dig that.

Beds sunk in the middle.

The facilities are nice but rooms in need of a major update.

The handicap bathroom is oddly designed. Water flow out from the open shower area making entire bathrooms wet and the water has no way out.

Breakfast, location, hotel environment

Stayed in March 2024

That there weren’t any clean towels in the pool area neither time my wife and I visited. We had to ask the front desk for them, which was no problem just a small bother.

The hotel was great. Full of interesting history and people. The movie nights in the lobby were amazing!

Stayed in March 2024

Water wasn’t hot enough and no microwave in the room had to go downstairs to heat my food

The hotel is classy but a little outdated, still a wonderful experience. The room was clean and comfortable especially for the price.
