Built in 1968, Hilton Motor Inn is located at Richmond and Ironbound Roads in Williamsburg, Virginia. In 1979, it was renamed the Williamsburg Westpark Hotel and became part of the Best Western chain in the 1980s.

Today, only two of the guest room buildings remain and operate as America's Inn at 1610 Richmond Road with the same phone number (but with new area code which changed in 1996) 757-229-1134.

The lobby and enclosed pool as well as the largest guest room building have been demolished.

The 1600 Richmond Road address is now a CVS pharmacy.

The adjacent McDonald's restaurant at 1620 Richmond Road remains.

In 2000, Hilton Garden Inn Williamsburg opened at 1624 Richmond Road, right behind the original Hilton Motor Inn.  The new Hilton Garden Inn has four floors and 119 guest rooms, 2 meeting rooms, gym and indoor pool.
