The location was perfect. Within an hour to Williamsburg, New Port News, Norfolk, Jamestown, and York Town. Relaxed, laid back atmosphere. Perfect for people who like to go and do but be off the beaten path. We stayed for the fireworks and I must say it was amazing. The locals came via boat, car, and foot. Live music, exceptional restaurant (we ate there all 3 nights), not disappointed with anything ordered. If you stay definitely get the water view, worth the price.

The only negative I can think of is the parking. Due to the restaurant's popularity, parking is limited. Add to the fact they are doing road construction on the bridge by the location, and we were there during a holiday it was challenging to find a parking space on the last night. Very minor irritation for such a wonderful place.

We were passing through on our way to OBX and found this little gem of a place. It's off the beaten path but you won't be disappointed with being on the water surrounded by yachts and fishing boats docked in the marina. Many of which have seafarers living on board private vessels. Sunday brunch was exceptional where you can get fresh fixings made to order prepared before your eyes. Our room was above the restaurant and it seemed odd at first to go passed the restaurant hostess but it was also nostalgic in an old West kind of way. This would be a great 3 day getaway with enough amenities to suffice. We will keep the Smithfield Station Hotel in mind for future travels.

Our only drawback was a noisy bath fan.

Very clean and comfortable. Staff were great. Loved the restaurant. The only issue is that we booked the jetted tub room, for an extra fee, and The tub didn't work.

Paid extra for the jetted tub. It didn't work

My wife and I were celebrating our (first time we met) anniversary. Smithfield Station is unique and has the restaurant right under the hotel. We ate breakfast in the morning which was great. All you can eat buffet and we ate in the dining room the night before and just walked up the steps to our room. There is a park right across the street called Windsor Castle and they have trails and kayaking and a play area for kids. This hotel is located in a historic area and right on the Pagan river.

This restaurant is so popular during special days (New Years Eve) when my wife and I stayed at the hotel that finding a parking space close to the hotel was difficult so we parked across the street. Once we ate dinner then checked into the hotel we waited about two hours for a decent parking space to open up and I moved the vehicle and brought in the suitcases. Part of the hotel is located right over the restaurant which is convenient but you have to bring your luggage into the restaurant and up the steps.

Everything was nice. The dinner we enjoyed with friends was wonderful and breakfast was good. Staff was friendly
