Although the hotel is very basic and showing its age, it's not a bad place to stay and is relatively cheap considering the high volume of tourist attractions in the area. The pool was good-sized and breakfast was more than just donuts. The free passes to Colonial WIlliamsburg made it well worth the money. more

We liked the location of the hotel. It is within walking distance of the historic area and the train station. Some may think theat the proximity to the railroad tracks is a negative. We did not. We did not need a car at all.. The staff was friendly and helpful. One young woman (Leah) knows Williamsburg like a book. She... more

The price was right but everything else was pretty awful. Beds are tiny and really, really old and uncomfortable. We had the same pile of lint & threads next to our bed all 4 days we were there. Coffee pot was dirty and old grounds were not removed from previous guests. Everyday we had to call to get a new... more

We booked 3 rooms at the Governor's Inn for 2 nights in August. Upon check in we were greeted by Michael and yes he was AWESOME. He was kind,cheerful and helpful. We then went to our rooms. At first glance they looked great...but then my mother pulled down her covers and discovered her pillow had stains on the case. I... more

We liked the Governor's Inn and Colonial Williamsburg so much, we stayed two extra days! The front desk, especially Micheal, NIkki, Courtney and Jalakoi, were great! They love their town, and are glad to help show it off. The property is in good shape, and the location can't be beat. Ask for a room at the far end, away from... more

This motel is operated by Colonial Williamsburg and is located within walking distance of the historic area. It is also a short drive to the visitor center. This convenience, its relatively low cost, and pass discounts make it worthwhile. Unfortunately it is not a quality property. Even discounting the apparently disinterested desk clerk at check-in, we were disappointed with the... more

Surprising!!

Listen, the hotel is not a 3-5 star. However, it offers you a very clean room with pretty much everything you need (Clean Beds, Clean Pillows/Sheets, Clean Towels, TV, AC, and Location) I have no complain about this place. It took us 7 minutes to walk to Colonial Williamsburg, and the Main drag (Richmond Ave.) was a 5 minute drive... more

I can't say enough great things about the Governor's Inn. We were looking for a nice but inexpensive place to stay in CW. This is the place! We stayed for 4 nights and received the free CW vouchers and 25% off the evening programs. Great deal! The hotel itself is old but well maintained. The rooms are small, which is... more
