Super clean, stayed in the Griffin which is a little older looking but well maintained. Able to walk (about a half mile) from all things downtown. Short drive down 60 to Busch Gardens. Staff friendly and helpful. Beautiful grounds.

4/10 Poor

The lack of an elevator should have been emblazoned all over this listing. My disabled husband had to climb 2 flights of stairs- with me hauling our luggage, as there were also no luggage carts. The front desk is .3 miles away, and nobody is present on this property to be of any help. And in the morning all 3 phones in our room were dead, so forget contacting the front desk. On the bright side, the room was a lovely size. And they did offer to change us to a ground floor room, but we were tuckered out from moving in, so declined.

Stayed at the Griffin, no elevator to the 2nd floor and was not informed of this by the check in staff. I’m spry enough to muscle my bags up the stairs, but this could be a problem for older guests. No room service for that building either, but short walk to anything you need. Might be less enthused to walk about in the winter time, however. Overall we loved the property and would absolutely stay again. The room was beautiful. The restaurant was great.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The building is old and smells older. Cleanliness was fair at best. Entire building and rooms are cooled only by window units, so the rooms were not very cool. We were there for only an evening, so we tolerated it. We did eat at the Williamsburg Inn and that was a good atmosphere. We wanted to stay in an historic place, but would not consider the Griffin again.

This property was a unique combination of old and new. The location in "old" Williamsburg helped us to feel like we were back in time. The property itself had great bones and was as clean as daily housekeeping could keep it. The rooms are tired however, needing carpets cleaned, furniture changed and repaired and fresh paint on the inside. Loved the vintage feel, just fine to freshen it up. The AC was great, deck and views were beautiful and the beds comfortable. Easy access because we were on the main floor and the check in process at the Williamsburg Inn was refined and made me feel very welcome!

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.
