We celebrated our anniversary in one of the tavern rooms on the Main Street in Williamsburg. Excellent location to walk to everything, good parking, friendly staff, and very quiet at night. The furnishings in our room were a bit worn, but it was very clean and the bed comfortable.

It had a all-time colonial Williamsburg feel I felt very safe yet still in the middle of town, which was so nice to see. The facilities were also very nice.

It was very cool staying in an original colonial era building tavern. It was clean and comfortable and quiet. Use of the resort amenities were great.

10/10 Exceptional

Interesting house, right in old town Williamsburg. Not much more than the two bedrooms and bathrooms but that was kind of expected. Would probably stay in the colonial houses again for their quaintness and convenient location
James, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very nice historic property, easy walkable and with many beautiful renovated and rebuils buildings from the colonial past. The standard doublerooms are pretty small and so are the beds. I would recommend booking a suite or a house for slightly more comfort.
Sandra, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The check in associate was rude. We will not be staying with them upon our next trip.
Letitia, 1-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

10/10 Exceptional

Not sure what the VIP amenity was
Lorraine, 1-night trip

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.

Great property.
James, 1-night trip

Plenty of places to eat..ease of access…my only concern is I placed Do Not Disturb on outside of door and we left, came back to bed changed, new supplies, etc. Didn’t really want anyone in room when we occupied but it was fine. Thanks…Every Bellman was just plain awesome 👍🙏

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.

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.
