Loved the location , but there’s a list of bad things. 1. No switch to turn on and off the bathroom lights. 2. Bathroom was very cold. 3. Black mold at bottom of tiles. 4. Dark baseboard was dirty on top. 5. Carpet was gross. 6. When the light came across the wall mirror, you could see the coating of dust.

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,

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!

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.
