Indoor pool(s)

Most of the other booking sites, like TripAdvisor, Expe.dia, Travelocity, Hotels..com, Booking.com, etc., all listed for $5-10 more per night than Hot.wire.

 

Final price for the 3 night stay is $268.24 including taxes & fees.  But wait!   They now add a $10/nt "resort fee" at the front desk, which is laughable, but the total now is $298.24, right around $100/nt all in.  Hotwire will warn you about the $10/nt resort fee added.  Still, for the quality of the accommodations, especially if you use the amenities, it's a good value.  Just don't expect perfectly maintained and groom common areas which are good, not great.  They call it luxury, but that's a bit of a stretch in our opinion.  It's nice, not top shelf for sure.

 

In Williamsburg West, located about 5-6 min drive from Colonial Williamsburg and downtown core (except during rush hour!) there are only 2 Condo properties I've ever seen on hotwire, which is this one, and their sister property, the Greensprings.  I have booked the latter Condo Resort on hotwire before, but have not seen it offered there lately.

 

Hotwire seems to be the lowest priced buy-it-now website for these Condos.

 

CAVEAT:  However, my advice to anybody staying at these Condo's however, is to not, under any circumstances, take Diamond Resort's (owner) Time-Share "Tour".   They will waste  painful hours of your time to lure you into a terrible investment with shameless high-pressure sales tactics.   We took the "tour" in April, and the promise of the future free 2-night stay turned out to be a total sham.  They lie like mad.  We were promised a free return stay in 6 months.   When we called to book it, they told us that deal was no longer offered and that we would be "relocated" to the Days Inn Busch Gardens, a long way away and a vastly inferior single hotel room (a dump really) instead of the Pohwatan or Greensprings.   Thank goodness we did not buy a $40,000 time share interest from these thieves!  Also, the award certificate for the 2-night free stay is so filled with uber-fine print on the back that nobody mentions during the sales pitches, it expires long before anyone could really use it.   The fine print on the back contradicts EVERYTHING we were told by the sales people at the Concierge desk.  Shameful.  The District Attorney ought to shut them down.

 

So skip the Time Share and enjoy the condo.
