Eric with maintenance was fantastic! was prompt in helping us get into the room after the lock failed and was prompt in getting us out of the room after we were locked in as the door knob was not working. Staff was great in crediting us for a couple of drinks and an appetizer. Everyone was friendly and helpful.

Williamsburg was a last minute stop on our vacation and we were elated we made the trip. The location for our property was amazing. Walk to everything and the area was really beautiful with much to do. House was fun as it was in the colonial period.

Liked: Staff & service
Location was great; but, room is extremely basic and not worth the price. There was mold on bathroom ceiling. Room needs to be cleaned and painted. An extra blanket in the dresser stunk badly when I opened the drawer so I just closed it back up. There's very little attention to detail in room maintenance.

We celebrated our anniversary in one of the tavern rooms on the Main Street in Williamsburg. Excellent location to walk to everything, good parking, friendly staff, and very quiet at night. The furnishings in our room were a bit worn, but it was very clean and the bed comfortable.

you are located right in the colonial area of Williamsburg which is really great . The rooms are small and it was a bit tough to connect with cleaning staff to make up our rooms. I am glad we tried it out, but I think I will head back to a more traditional hotel for a few more amentities

The facility and surrounding area was fine. Food at the Inn left a lot to be desired. I highly recommend Christina Campbells Tavern for dinner. You must make a reservation. We went off site for breakfast and dinner a couple of times Francesco’s Italian restaurant on Richmond Road was exceptional

The rooms were very plain. There was one full-size bed in our room that two people slept in, but I knew that going in it was rustic because it’s Williamsburg and I picked rustic. However, I gladly would’ve taken the room upgrade.

Cristina

Disliked: Staff & service
Check-in was confusing as directions to the house and parking was confusing as signage was poor or non-existent. Also the utilities and flooring needed updating/refreshing as the toilet and shower kept running/leaking, the shower pressure was terrible and the room was difficult to temperature control (thermostat didn't seem to work). I also called to request ice and an extra blanket to be delivered to the room and they failed to be delivered at the agreed upon time. We called again and had to wait almost an hour. Recommend staying at the main hotel or Williamsburg Inn.

It was very mi e but we had booked a two bedroom colonial home and were given a one bedroom. They were unable to move us to a two bedroom but did give us a credit. Otherwise it is a beautiful property.
