Wakefield Motel

The room we got was very small but it was very clean and did offer the bare essentials. Our bill with taxes for one night was just $ 82 and for that amount we certainly got a good deal.
The only negative we could report on was the friendliness/​attitude of the staff at check-​in. Let’s just say that the staff was clearly not part of the welcoming committee. Also, the free WiFi is there for you to use if you are willing to wait ten to fifteen minutes for a page to load. I would recommend the hotel does not advertise it as having «Free WiFi» as it clearly is not the case from a practical perspective.
If you are looking for luxury or what you would otherwise get at a chain hotel, this is not the place for you. If you are looking to enjoy the charm of Colonial Beach with the beach and a pier literally steps away, this is your place. I gave them three stars because of its location, otherwise it would have been two. If visiting Colonial Beach again, I may consider booking a room at the Wakefield Motel again, «may» being the key word.

If you require only the barest of essentials, then you might not mind staying at the Wakefield Motel, located on The Point in Colonial Beach.
This property has so much potential to be nice (classic motel charm), but it’s just ratty. No updates of any kind — no central air, no fans in the bathrooms, no hair dryer, no soap, uncomfortable bed, wood paneled walls… I felt like I was going to get electrocuted if I plugged in my curling iron.
What it does have is a small price tag, a small refrigerator, microwave and its own pier. Those give it the extra star.
