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.

A frequent visitor to the Brick House Tavern, a Colonial Houses property, I particulary enjoy the lovely decor ) even if a bit dated) reminding me of staying in my mother's homes on Beacon Hill in Boston and York Harbor, Maine. Conveniently located, walking anywhere in Colonial Williamsburg is a breeze. The staff here and at the Williamsburg Inn provide exemplary service. I'll definitely return!

Please be aware that there is an additional $30 per day resort fee whether or not you use the resort facilities. The check in location is not co-located with the room. The facility has steep steps that would be difficult for elderly or handicapped to access.

The colonial houses are lovely!! The check-in location (the Williamsburg Inn) is amazing. The houses are nice, but their best quality by far is the location and history. If I stayed in the same room somewhere else, I wouldn’t have been nearly as impressed. Continental breakfast would have been nice and the walls are very thin. I wasn’t too bothered by either because it was such a cool place to stay

We loved the little colonial cottage 1772. What a great way to get an authentic stay, if that’s what you are looking for! The great thing about the old colonial cottages is they are right in the heart of colonial Williamsburg walkable to everything or to a bus stop. We loved learning the history behind every cottage.

Incredible Find in Colonial Williamsburg
Amazing value right in Colonial Willamsburg. The property has colonial era buildings scattered over blocks that are cozy and comfortable. A Wiliamsburg friend was amazed that this existed. I did not use the common facilities. I look forward to returning.
