Didn’t get to stay but look forward to it soon

Sadly when I arrived I was told they’d try to contact me in regard to my stay and we’d have to be relocated. I know for a fact no one called but because I booked last minute and they did have a similar placement at their sister property, I wasn’t the least bit angry. They were friendly and even threw in a future stay for the inconvenience. I will say this however if you are checking in check in is at 4pm. But I’d be there earlier waiting if you are a bit inpatient. They get super swamped at check-in. Honestly I just wish they had actually called because we arrived before 4 there but by having to travel to the other property we didn’t get to get settled in until after 6pm

Friendly staff. Very clean accommodations. A little outdated but I did not expect anything else’s. Comfortable beds. . However, the bathrooms smelled very strongly of chlorine. Good cleaning options available that do not include bleach which is an environmental and health hazard. Chlorine smell even after 3 days and 6 showers. Too much!

The front desk staff were polite and helpful in person, however very rude and unhelpful over phone. There was a massive leak in our room where floor was soaked entire stay and had to have an extremely loud fan going in room. Tvs did not work in neither of bedrooms. I gave three stars because though I was disrespected over phone and person was very rude when I called because the carpet was completely soaked, when I walked up to front desk I was helped by a very sweet empathic employee that tried her best to fix situation. She unfortunately was unable to find us a new room due to no rooms avaliable, but was able to get us a refund to make up for the poor conditions.

Although i've stayed here before and I would stay here again. I must say that upon arrival, the staff was not as welcoming at the front desk. A lot seemed to be happening, and there was a lot of talking and mumbling, which for someone who's coming to kind of just relax, not getting the full attention of the staff at the front desk, it didn't feel unique. As we went into the room, the atmosphere and everything around us was definitely dated. Although the kids had a great time. I would definitely recommend renovating some of the areas in the rooms, upgrading some of the furniture as it was definitely worn and by the pool side, definitely adding possibly some quick finger foods and refreshment.

First time staying at The Colonies and we will definitely stay again next time we’re in Williamsburg. The property is nicely located near the outlets, supermarkets, and restaurants. The pools are great, just the right size to keep an eye on the little ones. And the rooms are spacious and clean, albeit dated. The couch in our room may have very well belonged to George Washington :) so I’d suggest they keep their furniture more up to date since many families use the living room space. Outdoor space for each unit was great for a morning coffee, and there is parking outside of each unit. All in all, a great stay, and we’ll be back.

Rooms are little outdated/could use some sprucing up. The outdoor pool area was great for the kids ans enjoyed the adults only hot tub. It was a little bit of a pain to get into the room as we had to scan through 3 doors and when your hands are full and have kids its an inconvenience.

I loved the idea of this spot, however; I do not think I will be back. Teenagers running around all hours of the night, yelling hitting things outside and doing too much. The rooms are big and nice, I would say the cleaning is alright. Not disgusting not perfect. There was mold all over the bathroom and jetted tub, I could smell as soon as I entered. There were very little staff who was actually helpful and professional. The evening staff seemed very unprofessional and were very focused on their own conversations rather than just checking us in. Wasn’t able to use the indoor or outside pool due to lightning (understandable) so I can’t properly judge the resort amenities.

Very nice clean spacious apartments. I do wish we were given the option of upstairs or downstairs. Lots of fun activities and areas for kids. Only thing i disliked was my interactions with the front staff. Upon check in everything seamed really serious and strict specially with all the fees on the form you have to sign. The lady in the front desk seamed very uninterested wouldn't make eye contact. when i asked a question about the form i had to sign she said "did i highlight that part only worry about what's highlighted". which wasn't the neatest so i just wanted clarification because of the strictness of the form. One thing being when getting towel at the pool it was stated you had to check them in and out or be charged a $25.00 fee. The towel boy was on his phone the whole time and when someone asked him about checking in and out he simply responded "its ok i see you". Another was check out was strictly at 10 or be charges $150.00 fee i think. when i went up to the front counter the lady didn't even ask my name barley even looked at me just said "put the keys in the box". I then proceeded to ask if i could get something with my check out time she cuts me off asked my room number and said "ok i gotchu" then proceeds to take a phone call. The only front office staff that was friendly was the lady who gave me my parking pass. She was offer the ppl in front of me some packages and she was very patient and informative with the older couple.
