8/10 Very good

Staff was great - quick to accommodate requests
Margo, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Angela, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Daniel, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Jennifer, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Cristina, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
James M., 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The colonial cottage is a great place to stay when visiting Williamsburg. It gives visitors a feel for living in the community as it might’ve been years ago. Perfect for families or larger groups. Fully equipped kitchen makes dining in an option. Would stay here again.

A Little Odd

We booked one house and got booked in another house, which was fine, but odd- as the air conditioning upstairs did not work in the one we got rebooked to. The house was very clean and the overall experience was fine. There was an odd concierge who made a big deal about us booking through a different platform and not booking directly through them, which put us off from asking for any more support from the Inn.
Erica, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Outstanding historic stay. Would highly recommend.
Claire, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Immersed into the 18th century, but with running water and TV! How fun it was to walk down the steps onto Williamsburg’s Duke of Gloucester street! Loved it.
Bernadette, 2-night trip

Colonial House Stay

We enjoyed staying in one of the Colonial Houses it was a nice change from a typical hotel due to the history. Everyone was very friendly and professional.
Ruth, 3-night trip

Property and areas are nice. However the Taven room we had needs some updating and the heat would not work.

Stacy, 1-night trip

This is such a unique opportunity to stay in the heart of Historic Williamsburg Virginia. Yet you have modern conveniences. Staying here puts you right in perfect mood to immersion in the history of Williamsburg in the 16th and 17th century

Hidden Gem

Who knew you could stay in Old Williamsburg in one of the houses on Duke of Gloucester St.?We were immersed in Old Williamsburg and woke up to the sounds of the day starting in 1775. The experience is a treasure we will have forever!
Bernice, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Like stepping back in time!
Laura, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Staying in the tavern rooms is on its surface a neat experience. You are right in the middle of Colonial Williamsburg and the setting is remarkable. But the rooms are quite tiered, while normally quiet you can hear everyone else going in and out of their rooms, and the lack of amenities in the building is not up to the price. For the money, I'd stay at one of their other facilities next time.
Michael, 2-night trip
