“Perfect location for family & sightseeing”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 2, 2012

We spent the very sunny but cold Thanksgiving week with our children and 4 year-old granddaughter. The resort is well maintained and quaint, reflecting the style of Historic Williamsburg. It is perfectly located with a large choice of restaurants within short distance as well as a good supermarket, and easy access to Williamsburg and the other points of interest in the region. Our 2 brm/2 bth suite was perfectly clean upon arrival. The very modern kitchen had enough utensils and the rooms were small but well designed to utilize space in the best way. Both bathrooms had jacuzzis and one had also a separate shower and a huge window. The living room was on the small side and the kitchen island/eating space was a quite small for 4 adults+child. A nice patio overlooked the swimming pool and jacuzzi, which we regretted not to be able to use in this season (though some people were brave enough to use the jacuzzi).

We appreciate you choosing Westgate Resorts for your Thanksgiving vacation. This is the "perfect location for family & sightseeing". This is truly a great location with many restaurants and shopping options within a few miles. This is also the perfect location for a taking a day trip to Washington D.C. In fact, you can book a D.C. tour right here on property. We take pride in maintaining our property and we appreciate your many compliments.

Thank you,

The Westgate Team

“It's Okay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 1, 2012

It's really not a bad place to stay; we had a bad experience with our room though: hair in the dresser drawers, filthy baseboards and vents, and a weird smell. The people are friendly and tried to make things right. It is in a good area with quick and easy access to a lot of stuff.

Thank you for your feedback. We really take pride in our customer service and cleanliness. We apologize for our shortcomings in the cleaning of your unit. We are glad you noted we tried to make things right. The Westgate Resorts Historic Williamsburg location is awesome-within walking distance to Colonial Williamsburg and near great shopping and many restaurants.

“Colonial Williamsburg Experience”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 20, 2012

This Westgate property is nicely renovated, especially for an old hotel. The suite included a living room, kitchen with eat at bar, two bedrooms, two baths and a laundry closet. The rooms were a little small but clean and well furnished.The staff was friendly and helpful. The location is wonderful. We were minutes from everything! This was a wonderful place to visit off season.

“Wonderful Resort”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 19, 2012

Great location, less than a mile from Colonial Williamsburg, lots of places to eat within walking distance--if you want great pizza, try the Library next door to the resort, food store and shopping mall a block away. Easy access in and out of resort even in rush hour traffic.

I have been in a lot of resorts and the one-bedroom unit we had was the best designed to utilize the space available of any I have ever been inside. Of course, if we had had 4 people, it would not have been as pleasant.

“Excellent”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 12, 2012

Fantastic property. Clean rooms, great staff, great location. The best. This is a historic building that has been renovated so the rooms are not huge but they are very nicely done, clean and functional. Lots of services - restaurants close by - 5 minutes to Historic Williamsburg Visitors Center.
