We had a very pleasant two night stay at the Williamsburg Lodge. You cannot beat it for convenience if you are planning to visit Colonial Williamsburg. It is a one block walk into the colonial village. The hotel has a person in the lobby that will get you all set with tickets and you receive a discount for staying at the hotel (free admission if you stay at the hotel four nights). Our room was large and well equipped. The entire hotel had obviously just completed a total renovation. The only complaint we noted was that it was actually over air conditioned. The parking was very convenient right under the lodge and there was no charge for parking (and free Internet too). The staff was friendly and helpful. We would certainly stay here again if visiting the area.

We just returned from our stay at the Williamsburg Lodge and although we found our room to be spacious, nicely decorated and within walking distance of Colonial Williamsburg, there were some problems. If you are looking for a good night's sleep you may want to reconsider as I think the bed was from Colonial times, very saggy and uncomfortable. The bathroom was very tiny, but clean and served it's purpose. The room we stayed in had hardwood floors which creaked at every step and the refrigerator that was advertised as being in the room was not. They did bring one up upon request after several phone calls. I was also disappointed that the front desk did not offer us any information about the Hotel's ammenities or the Historic District. All in all it was not worth the $200 pricetag.

My wife and I enjoyed a multi-night stay at the Lodge after dropping our son off at UVa over in Charlottesville. I have been coming to Williamsburg for over 40 years and have always enjoyed my visits. The stay at the Lodge - first stay since renovations - was fantastic. The room was spacious and well-appointed. The service from check-in through check-out was first rate - professional and friendly. We were in the Nicholas Guest House. Being right across the Spa and the Golden Horseshoe Golf Club afforded us each the opportunity to enjoy different aspects of the resort without moving our car. My wife visited the spa twice and I played golf twice, as well. Staffs at both facilities were friendly and helpful. Ate wonderful breakfasts at the Lodge, but explored other options for dinner - a colonial tavern (King's Arms), a great seafood restaurant in town (Berrett's) and a bistro (Blue Talon) - and lunch - the Trellis (also in town). We walked at leisure around Williamsburg (Lodge guests staying 4 nights are given complimentary Willaimsburg passes) and the newer additions to the programs are well worth attending. Staying at the Lodge afforded us the opportunity to enjoy the historical side of Willaimsburg while feeling as if we were at a resort. This was a wonderful stay at a wonderful property.

Our family always spends the 4th of July in Williamsburg. We normally stay at the Marriott but my husband enjoys the Historic area so much that I thought it would be a real treat to park the car and relax. The Williamsburg Lodge proved to provide just what we were looking for. We were initially assigned a room in the Tazewell building. The hotel consists of a series of buildings. Upon inspection we found the room to be very far from the center of the hotel. The Tazewell building itself reminded me of a College Dormitory. The room was large, ncely appointed and had a balcony. We rejected it because the balcony overlooked a service area with industrial air conditioners and the room seemed very dark. The front desk was accomodating and offered a room in the Custis building. We liked this room better because it was closer to the center of the hotel and seemed a bit more cheerful although it was quite a bit smaller. The rooms and hallways are nicely decorated in an updated Colonial style. We stayed for 2 nights. The Lodge's location cannot be beat unless you want to pay more for the Inn. We had breakfast at the buffet on both mornings. The food was average upscale hotel fare but the service (i.e. coffee refills, plates removed,check) was very slow. Do not order from the menu. My son, age 12, was still hungry after ordering from the adult menu and I had to then pay for the buffet as well. The concierge at the lodge was very helpful.

We will definitely stay here again. I believe it is worth the extra cost.
