Colonial Houses, an Official Colonial Williamsburg Hotel

Colonial houses are an opportunity to stay right in the midst of historic Williamsburg . The location could not be any more convenient. We stayed at Brick House Tavern on the second floor. The bed was comfortable and the room nicely decorated. However the rooms were last updated about 30-40 years ago estimating by the fixtures, etc. The rooms rates are reasonable based on location but are not reasonable based on the out of date locks (old fashioned brass keys) , bathroom plumbing and scarcity of electric outlets . An upgrade is needed. The room was very clean and bed comfortable so the basics were there. With taxes and fees we paid just over $200 nightly . At that level an upgrade is appropriate.

Anniversary Trip This was my wife and myself 6th trip to Williamsburg. Previous 5 trips were with family and stayed at one the resorts outside of the park. This trip was just the two of us and stayed in the Chiswell-Bucktrout. Nicely modernized with a comfy queen bed/private bath with the ambience of an earlier time. Loved our stay.

The location of the house was perfect! The concierge Kimberly at the Williamsburg Inn was super helpful.

So impressed! I'm extremely impressed from start to finish! Before my visit I reached out to the hotel, Katlean was so pleasent and helpful. Check in was amazing Candy and Tracy were wonderful, so kind and helpful. It was a great experience. I would recommend your resort to anyone. Your people really do make a difference!

Staying in a cottage within Colonial Williamsburg was a nice alternative to a regular hotel room and we appreciated having the extra space, peace, and fireplace. Check in was frustrating, however, when they put us in a Tavern Room instead of the house we reserved. When I called the front desk to inform them of the mistake, the woman tried to tell me they were all booked up and if we didn't want the Tavern Room she could try to find something else but would charge us extra. Obviously, this was unacceptable and thankfully I had the confirmation email showing that we booked and paid for a house with bed, sofa, and fireplace. Suddenly the tone changed and another woman at the check in counter miraculously found the house we were supposed to have. Getting to the location proved annoying since nothing is labeled. We had to wander around the area trying to find the house that met the description given to us, and instead of there being 'plenty of parking' for our two vehicles, there was only on parking spot for our house. After finally getting all that settled, the rest of the stay was very nice and we enjoyed being able to walk through Colonial Williamsburg to get to dinner, enjoy the Farmer's Market, and sit outside on the patio and get to know our sheep neighbors. The house itself was clean, comfortable, and everything we wanted when we originally made the reservation. The check in process makes us not want to book here again, but essentially the stay was nice.

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.
