Williamsburg Inn

If you need a place to stay while visiting Colonial Williamsburg, there may be other lodging options but after our stay at the Inn, there is no need to look elseswhere,

Stayed in the griffin building. The room was good and was always cleaned. Could have used a microwave. The massive problem was that we were originally told we would get breakfast and after 3 days of having breakfast with no problem we were suddenly told we didn’t have that package. We were told when we checked in we had that package. Also after 3 days our room keys were shut off. We had to go to the main building to fix it. Our passes to the historic sites ran out 3 times and we had to go get them fixed. We were there 10 days and paid a pretty penny for it and unfortunately while it’s a nice place, there was a TON of unnecessary bs

This is a really nice hotel, and I genuinely enjoy staying here whenever I’m in Williamsburg. The only reason I’m not giving it five stars is the lack of food options. For a hotel at this level, it’s surprising that there’s no room service. There’s also nowhere to get food after about 9 PM other than DoorDash, and the bar closes fairly early as well. I’m not sure whether this is due to staffing issues or something else, but it’s frustrating given how high-end the property otherwise is. The amenities are great, the staff is professional, and the hotel itself is beautiful. But after a long day at a conference, it’s disappointing to have no on-site option to grab even a simple meal, sandwich, or snack. There isn’t even a small market or grab-and-go area. While the Lodge next door offers food, this property has nothing available after around 8:30 or 9 PM. It’s a great hotel overall, but the complete lack of food and drink options late in the evening really holds it back.

I’ve been staying at the Williamsburg Inn for years and it’s always been special. The staff are exceptional and rooms are lovely. But now they’ve changed the toiletries from Penhaligan, which were a special part of the experience, to their own in-house toiletries line. Not so special anymore!!! Bring back Penhaligon toiletries and make it special again.

The Williamsburg Inn may be one of the last but we found that it was a superb example of old-Virginia hospitality. Nothing was left to chance for our accommodations, and it is truly an inspired gateway to Colonial Williamsburg.
