I can’t say enough good things about this hotel. Our room was clean, large, beds comfortable, bathroom and two sink areas were convenient. The deck was overlooking a pond and a nice place to relax after walking the restoration area. Being close to the hotel and restaurants was perfect. And, the staff were exceptional.

Huge room in a quiet, wooded setting. Slightly-dated furnishing, but everything was very clean. I highly recommend for family travel—six people would not feel crowded in the room. Also good for business travel since it had a large desk, good lighting and decent WiFi.

Karen

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room was clean, and the staff was helpful, but the property is outdated. And the Griffin building is separate from the hotel so you really don’t get the experience of staying there. And heaven forbid your key not work, which happened to me three times, because it means you have to return to the check-in at the main hotel. While you can walk to the main attraction of Colonial Williamsburg, for the price paid, I would not stay again.
