The most economical way to enjoy the values and amenities of the Colonial Williamsburg Hotels is to stay at the Governor's Inn.

Guests also enjoy free use of the superb recreational facilities of the nearby Woodlands Hotel and Suites. The Governor's Inn is operated seasonally. The front desk is open until 11:00pm. After hours, please check in at the Woodland Hotel and Suites. Note: Traditionally the Governor's Inn is closed January through mid March. From Interstate 64, take exit 238 onto Route 143 East. Follow Route 143 to the second traffic light and bear right onto Route 132. Continue on Route 132 approximately 1.8 miles, the Governor's Inn is at the top of the hill on the right, just before the railroad tracks.

Good value

Good price, great value. We enjoyed our stay here at this modest but pleasant hotel staffed by nice folks, offering an excellent "continental" breakfast and good location - we used their ample parking and took the short 1/2 mile walk to the historic action.

Busch garden weekend

We didn't know what to expect when we drove up. It looked old but kept up. We have stayed at 2 star hotels and some of the people who are staying there made us uncomfortable. At the governor's inn it was all families or people in costume for Williamsburg. Very safe. The continental breakfast had everything you would want and the shuttle was very convenient to get to busch gardens and we didn't have to pay for parking.

Good, clean hotel which a price that can’t be bet for that location! We booked a ‘room for four’, close to the college of William & Marry . The ‘College’ and ‘Colonial Williamsburg’ were within walking distance and ... at a 60-70% lower price!

Hotel was ideal, we had family visiting and wanted to see Colonial Williamsburg. This hotel was perfect location and gave us a discount on tickets, win win all round. Rooms were clean, breakfast was good and the staff are friendly. We will be returning here again.

Great walking distance

This was comfortable, no frills, perfectly nice. It was within walking distance from Merchants Square and all the Colonial goodies. My ONLY issue with this place was that the yogurt I grabbed from the Continental Breakfast was moldy. Yuck. Everything else was golden. It's also within walking distance of the Amtrak, which is a huge bonus if you're traveling without a car.

Yet Another Great Visit

I got two rooms for a family trip to Colonial Williamsburg and both were fantastic. The location was great. They put both rooms next to each other with a door between so that we weren't too separated. The continental breakfast is delicious and has a good selection. The beds were comfortable and each room had a nice TV. You cannot beat the value.

Quick Trip

I didn't spend much time a hotel, as it was a busy weekend. It was pleasant. I thought for the price it would be a step up from other Inns in town, but it was very comparable. Located right next to Train station and a good solid walk, but still a walk to Merchant Square. I will try harder at finding deals in order to stay in a little nicer of a place, next time.

Not worth the price

We stayed during Williamsburg's Grand Illumination 2 years ago and again this weekend. Two years ago the Inn needed some renovation and unfortunately, now it is just plain shabby. Not in any way something Colonial Williamsburg should attach it's name to even for a value motel. The room's ceiling was peeling and patched, the sheets and blankets had holes and there was a space under the door large enough to allow critters to come in (glad it was December!). On the plus side the staff was friendly, the room was fairly clean, the location is close enough to walk and the continental breakfast had a nice variety.
