The Kings Mill

                                                  The Kings Mill Resort-Williamsburg

I traveled to the Kings Mill in Williamsburg, Virginia last Spring with an optimistic idea of the resort, but checked-out with a negative review. My trouble at the Kings Mill began when my family and had to wait 5 hours for our room because of a maid service problem. During 3 of those 5 hours, we covered almost every activity at the resort. They did not have a lot of teen or tween activities in the resort. They have an indoor pool and a small game room which were fun (the outdoor pool and lazy river were still closed for the season). After that, we spent the 2 remaining hours in the lobby. The only person who noticed we were on the verge of leaving and going to a nearby hotel was the chef at the restaurant. He started talking to us and then offered milk and cookies. Finally, after the long wait, we got our room. The rooms there are actually condo units spread out throughout the resort.  Anyway, our room was kinda worn and old which we could live with, but the real problem was the ant infestation! We found that out when the cleaning service came by and asked if they could "finish cleaning." We waited five hours already and they weren't done?! Then, all I see and hear are cans of bug spray being used in the kitchen and bathroom.  That was the last straw. We called the conceirge and asked for another room. The new room was cleaner, not as worn, and had no bug infestation. I would give this hotel 2 out of 5 stars for this experience alone. The only good things were the friendly chef, the pool, game room and its proximity to Busch Gardens (see my previous post).
