I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were beautifully appointed with a cozy fireplace, a luxurious bathroom featuring a large soaking tub and separate shower, and fresh flowers changed twice during my 6-night stay. The only downside was the slight inconvenience of accessing the rooms on the second floor due to the elevator limitations, but it was just a short walk up one flight of stairs.

The hotel's rooms are extremely spacious, gorgeously appointed, and each unique, boasting a huge bathtub and walk-in shower. However, the faux dark wood tables in the rooms don't fit the hotel's overall style. The staff is exceptionally friendly and accommodating, but the reception staff may come off as a bit reserved. The location is ideal for exploring Colonial Williamsburg and nearby attractions, set in a charming colonial setting that's perfect for a springtime visit. The dining options at the hotel's restaurants are pricey, but the quality makes it worth the cost. The facilities are top-notch, offering a luxurious experience.

The hotel provided immaculate rooms with amazing food that rivaled the best meals worldwide. The service was friendly and helpful, although the staff seemed a bit too comfortable in their chairs. The location couldn't be better for the historic colonial Williamsburg experience, perfectly situated within walking distance of downtown. The dining experience was top-notch, especially the breakfast served by Kerim. However, the prices may be on the higher side for some travelers.

I couldn't have asked for a better stay at this hotel! The location is superb, right on the grounds of Colonial Williamsburg, and the interior is just as charming. The staff anticipated our every need and graciously attended to us throughout our stay. However, although dining at their expensive restaurants was a treat with traditional dishes that blew our minds, it was a bit pricey. The facilities were top-notch, providing everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Rooms

Our room was beautifully decorated with floral arrangements, giving it a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The only downside was that it required going up one flight of stairs from the second floor as the elevator only goes to the second floor, but the view overlooking the golf course was worth it!

My stay at the hotel was simply delightful. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, boasting a beautiful fireplace and a bathroom with a large soaking tub and separate shower. The dining experience at the fine dining Rockefeller Room was truly exceptional and could easily rival the best meals I have ever had. The service was top-notch, with staff who were knowledgeable about the wine cellar and always went above and beyond to ensure my needs were met. The location was perfect for exploring Colonial Williamsburg, offering easy access to various historic sites. Despite these wonderful aspects, there were some minor miscommunications with the waitstaff, and the price may be a consideration for some budget-conscious travelers.
