"Great stay at the Griffin Hotel in Colonial Williamsburg"
TripAdvisor user rating 5 out of 5
Reviewed March 12, 2025 NEW
Our stay at the Griffin Hotel was great. The room, bed, pillows and bath were nice, spacious and very comfortable. The staff at The Williamsburg Inn went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. There is no elevator but walking up stairs was no issue this time. We will certainly return.

"Peaceful retreat"
TripAdvisor user rating 5 out of 5
Reviewed February 25, 2025 NEW
The retreat-like setting provided much needed peace for my sister and I. The pond view was lovely even in the winter. Dining options were close and an easy walk or drive. The historic area was steps away too. The room is comfortable and quiet.

The location and price was perfect, beyond expectation. You can literally walk to colonial Williamsburg in less than 5 minutes. The hotel grounds were beautiful. Check in was easy, employees were so nice. I will definitely stay again next time I'm in the area.

"Nice room, but too many negatives!"
TripAdvisor user rating 3 out of 5
Reviewed January 17, 2025
This should have been a very good or excellent rating, but everything wasn’t great. If you have not been here before, know that there is the central hotel building and outer buildings. We requested, and paid for a pond view. When we arrived it was very busy, but we finally found a parking space. We thought we would be ahead of the game, and took luggage to the hotel to check in. They don’t have a main check-in desk, but “office” type check in. Their personnel who checked us in didn’t make it clear where we were to go. So…after pulling our luggage a few different directions, a very nice bellman took pity on us and told us to get back in our car, and where to go! It turns out our room was in a separate building with a much better parking situation! Our room was very nice, large, and well appointed. The main Historic district is close, but restaurants are not that close…especially in bad weather...there was a mini monsoon on our 1st full day. We were disappointed in the Christmas decorations in Williamsburg! Definitely not what we expected. There are other towns much more Christmas decorated!
