The room was clean modern amenities. Shower was great. The bed was awesome and we love the location. We dined in the Terrace room at the Williamsburg Inn. It’s lovely. The staff was efficient, but we were disappointed. The food was not at the level and quality we had been expecting. We did not order alcohol, alcoholic beverages, and our water glasses set empty for way too long.

The tavern rooms are a completely immersive experience within walking to all things Colonial Williamsburg. The pool/fitness center is off site at the check in (about .2 of a mile) so may not feel as welcoming but worth it if you don’t mind walking. So much history! The grounds are beautifully kept and inviting areas throughout the grounds. We would love to come back and wish we had a longer stay!

This was a very special stay in the heart of historic Colonial Williamsburg. The room was very clean, bathroom was renovated and perfect. We loved the sheep in the side yard and the ease of just walking across the street to Duke of Gloucester street with the taverns. We loved it and will definitely do again!

Greatest amenity is that you are right in the middle of the historic district. Waking up there is wonderful despite early mowing and leaf blowing (so that it’s not done during open hours to preserve historic experience). Being able to park there.

I had a wonderful stay at this historic tavern. The experience offered the charm and authenticity of 18th-century living while still providing all the modern amenities needed for a comfortable visit. The room was clean, well-appointed, and featured an exceptionally comfortable bed that made for a restful night's sleep. What truly stood out was the unique atmosphere. The tavern beautifully preserved its historic character, allowing guests to step back in time without sacrificing convenience or comfort. The staff was welcoming, and the property was well maintained.

We stayed in one of the tavern rooms. While small, they are adequately sized for two people. Shower is small because it has to follow slope of the roof to maintain original look. That being said, the room had modern plumbing and electrical and a television. It was really cool to stay in a historical tavern inn and to be on the main street of the colonial buildings inside the historical area.

The location couldn’t be beat. Walk out the door and you’re in the middle of colonial Williamsburg. The room while sufficient did not feel very private. You could hear every door close and person walking on the stairs. Parking was easy. I will definitely go back but probably pick a different style room.
