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

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.

Anniversary Trip

This was my wife and myself 6th trip to Williamsburg. Previous 5 trips were with family and stayed at one the resorts outside of the park. This trip was just the two of us and stayed in the Chiswell-Bucktrout. Nicely modernized with a comfy queen bed/private bath with the ambience of an earlier time. Loved our stay.
Brett, 2-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

Simple but comfortable room. Perfect location.
J., 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

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.
