Top hotels in Colonial Village
Washington Plaza Hotel
The hotel was meh. Just okay. Asked for late checkout. The checkout time was noon. I wanted to checkout at 2pm. I was told the latest I could check out would be 12:30pm and if I wanted to stay until 2pm, I would be charged 50% of the daily room rate. I thought that was ridiculous.
