Overall a good stay. Admittedly expensive for what it feels like you receive but it’s a good location to Williamsburg. Check in was at a separate location, which is fine, but it was annoying that I couldn’t pick up my key at 3:30 when I was nearby the check in location. Understood that we didn’t have the room til 4, but considering they’re separate places it would have been nice to be able to get the key and just not go to the room until 4.

Mediocre
Our initial check in experience was great! Very friendly staff!! Got to our room and the bed was not made. No sheets or anything. Fridge didn’t work, several outlets did not work. We’ve stayed here before with no issues so it was surprising for a hotel of this caliber.

Adorable colonial house near town!
We stayed in the Ewing House at the Williamsburg Inn! It was an adorable 1-bedroom house, walking distance to all the major sites in Williamsburg, one block off DoG street. The staff also lit the fireplace in our room which was extra cozy, since it was chilly out!

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Inn. The Tavern rooms were charming and clean. And it was convenient and enjoyable to walk to the Williamsburg Inn for more high end dining and amenities. I would recommend this stay and vacation resort,

Get ready to step back in time
Multiple colonial houses line the Duke of Gloucester street in Colonial Williamsburg…they are perfect for location…yet true to “colonial” in that design of house limits full size showers and smaller rooms overall…at least at the Brick House Tavern house which has 18 total rooms. Still a memorable trip!

Sisters trip
Except for an issue with the heat, all was welcoming and comfortable. The food was great. The only issue that I consider major is the price difference between the Colonial Williamsburg Hotel and Hotel.com. I was required to pay an additional amount of $74.95 more than Hotels.com quoted. I feel this amount should be refunded to insure Hotels.com remains a go to travel site in the future.

Staying in the tavern rooms is on its surface a neat experience. You are right in the middle of Colonial Williamsburg and the setting is remarkable. But the rooms are quite tiered, while normally quiet you can hear everyone else going in and out of their rooms, and the lack of amenities in the building is not up to the price. For the money, I'd stay at one of their other facilities next time.

Basically you’re paying a lot for being in the middle of the historic district. It reality felt like a dated Motel 6 once you get inside. We had a problem with our first room and I was surprised we were given a significantly smaller room. (It was a busy weekend so availability might have been an issue.) The concierge was very helpful but they closed at 5:00. Really, at a 5 star facility, that’s ridiculous. Overall I wouldn’t recommend this place. There might be other rooms in the historic that are nice, but I wouldn’t roll the dice and go back.

The best experience I've had travelling in the US
This place was amazing! To be able to walk around the village at night you feel like you belong there. The building was an original in the room was where Margaret Thatcher had stayed at one time! I cant believe that it was so affordable. This was honestly the best experience I've had on a historically-themed trip!

We loved the “disappearing” bathroom in room 3029 in the Chiswell-Bucktrout building! Our room was clean and comfortable. It was great to be farther away from the shopping district and have a scenic and peaceful walk to the Capitol.
