Conveniently located

The hotel is conveniently located across the street to Colonial Williamsburg. The building looks like an apartment complex converted into an hotel. I did not see an elevator so we had to take our luggage through the stairs. I am glad it was only one floor. I looked and looked and did not see an elevator. Found that strange. Accommodations were fine just furniture looks very antique but odd chairs and other items that do not match. Room was very spacious and our balcony was very nice. Room was clean. We stayed for two nights and it was fine.

The property is old and outdated, with noticeable dust throughout. The bathroom sink was clogged. I was assigned a first-floor room, which was extremely noisy—it felt as though people were sitting directly on my balcony. The check-in process was inconvenient, requiring visits to multiple buildings before completion. The staff appeared insincerely friendly, and provided excessive, unnecessary information.

Beautiful setting in Colonial Williamsburg - if you are fairly mobile, this is great spot within the Colonial area so you can walkl everywhere. The spa gym building is separate but it is a pretty walk behind the sister hotel Williamsburg Inn where you check inn. The place itself was a good sized room and we slept 5 of us for this last minute stay and we normally get separate roomed suites, but this worked fine and was more budget friendly. The room itself was not super modernly updated, but it was fine, big, quiet, and peaceful. Great job!

Service Defines the Experience

I was blown away! I booked the hotel because of the convenience, which was very understated. You are right in Colonial Williamsburg. My room was absolutely enormous with a fireplace, outstanding air conditioning, and two showers. I will be staying here again. The room and convenience were not the best part. The service was truly remarkable. It was what I get at a Conrad, Ritz Carlton, or fine hotel in Paris. Dan, Tim, and the concierge were indescribable! They made me feel like I was the only guest with their tailored service. We were offered water, got special rates on tickets from the concierge, coupons for dining and shopping and a map with suggested places to go. I also recommend lunch at the Golden Horseshoe Gold Club behind the Inn for lunch. Tip: When you check in, it’s not at the Griffin, it’s at the Williamsburg Inn.

Elegant and spacious. This place is great. Quiet, tucked away, but plenty of parking and easy access. On property lodging is the way to go for sure. Makes exploring Williamsburg so easy and convenient for the family. Plan to go back and stay in the Griffin again.

Staff helpful. Room was very large with a nice balcony. Convienent walking distance to activities. A bit odd to be in a hotel that is not connected to the courtesy desk or the other hotel options. Building Green by the tennis court which made checking in a hassle. Google maps will lead you to a parking lot a good distance from the main building which is obscured by trees so walked around for 15 minutes trying doors to the green building which are keycard locked. Courtesy phone did not work. Eventually saw there was a sign (small) that reads Griffin hotel check in but since never there, was relying on Google maps. I admittedly may have missed some instructions on email/text.

I was looking for a quiet place with a balcony and a bath tub. I was taking a few days for myself, and this was exactly what I wanted. The room was quiet, the balcony overlooked the pond, it was a dreamy. The room was spotless, the bathroom was spotless. It was perfect for this mama who needed a few days of peace and quiet.
