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!

Get ready to step back in time

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!

Sisters 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.
