Newport News Inn

Stayed there for a three day event at the Hampton Coliseum so all the hotels in the area where mostly sold out or very expensive. This place was reasonably priced. While simple the place was clean and the furniture did not need to be replaced which I see sometimes at these budget motels. Close to the airport and train station. Perfect nonfrillw place that felt ssfe.

Good Place to stay on a Budget. Nothing to write home about. Clean room, housekeeper kept the room clean and organized with clean towels, soap and shampoo. The room key had to be re-set on a daily basis. The motel kept telling us to keep the key away from phones. Need new keys with strong magnetic strips. Bed was comfortable and saved money for other expenses. Last minute trip.

I had a booking from Wednesday July 27th to Saturday July 30th in room 129, but left at 4AM on the first night and felt uncomfortable the moment we entered. My fiance and I were lying in bed when she got two bite marks on her arm around 1AM. We got up right away and pulled the sheets and blankets off of the bed to look for what might've caused this. After an hour of searching, the only thing we found in the hair-infused, stain-covered sheets was that the plastic mattress protector was ripped to shreds. I immediately reserved another hotel for later that day on the 28th after check-in at 4PM as my fiance has unfortunately dealt with bedbugs before and knows the signs and was very suspicious. We re-made the bed and laid down fully clothed on top of all the sheets and blankets with the lights on. At 3AM we were up again after she was bitten in three distinct spots on her back (bedbugs bite in a straight line as they crawl on your skin). I immediately went to the front desk/drive-up window to check out and let them know of the problems that are potentially in every room, as bedbugs spread fast. Thankfully my other booking was able to squeeze me into their last room at 4AM on the 28th. I also took pictures when these happened and sent them to the local department of health for Newport News. I'd have taken more pictures of the room if I knew I could upload them for this review. There were also a few people out very late hanging out talking loudly and drinking in the parking lot and the refrigerator smelled like beer and the microwave smelled like they recently heated up a pile of curry on the glass microwave plate.
