Underwhelming and overpriced

The paint was peeling, I hit my head on the ceiling multiple times and the $32.50 daily fee for "incidentals" was the kicker. Realizing that the building and the others around the area were likely built with slave labour played on my conscience.

It had a all-time colonial Williamsburg feel I felt very safe yet still in the middle of town, which was so nice to see. The facilities were also very nice.

Beautiful Place! Housekeeping Needs Help.

The room was kept clean, but housekeeping could use some pointers. I stayed for 3 nights. The first 2 nights that the room was cleaned, housekeeping left the door unlocked when they left. Due to the old locks, I always double-checked that the lock was engaged when we left for the day. The third night, housekeeping removed one of the pillows from the bed and left us short one. The way the "houses" are set up, we couldn't just call the front desk and request another one.

Very nice historic property, easy walkable and with many beautiful renovated and rebuils buildings from the colonial past. The standard doublerooms are pretty small and so are the beds. I would recommend booking a suite or a house for slightly more comfort.

Plenty of places to eat..ease of access…my only concern is I placed Do Not Disturb on outside of door and we left, came back to bed changed, new supplies, etc. Didn’t really want anyone in room when we occupied but it was fine. Thanks…Every Bellman was just plain awesome 👍🙏

It was comfortable and in a great and unique location. The bathroom was not as clean as I would expect it to be. I had already paid the total on Expedia and yet was charged a resort fee when I checked out. All in all I would stay here again but not in the tavern.

Wonderful experience

Lovely experience, as always. The Colonial Houses are very neat, though some seem to be in need of an interior refresh. Fun to be amidst the action and very convenient though. The location can’t be beat, and the Inn staff is great. Nice gym too.

Overall, the hotel was very nice, but unfortunately our stay was negatively impacted by a major issue: the air conditioning in our room was broken. We called the front desk, but they informed us that nothing could be done until the morning. They did not offer to move us to another room or even provide a fan. As a result, we were unable to sleep because the room was uncomfortably hot. It was clear the problem was specific to our room, as the hallway outside was significantly cooler. The front desk in the morning said the best they could do was refund us $30, which was disappointing.

Interesting house, right in old town Williamsburg. Not much more than the two bedrooms and bathrooms but that was kind of expected. Would probably stay in the colonial houses again for their quaintness and convenient location

Great getaway.

We usually go several times a year to Williamsburg. This was the second time we stayed in the Colonial Houses. It’s a true experience. Nothing fancy but if you’re a Williamsburg enthusiasts like we are, then you would enjoy staying in the housing. They are conveniently located within walking distance to all the activities.
