“Very comfortable place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 20, 2013

This was our first visit here for a weekend workshop and this was the hotel chosen for our stay. Very nice clean comfortable rooms, very comfortable beds. Room comes with wifi, mini fridge and room safe. One small thing I noticed is that the TV can only be watched from the bed due to the cabinet it is enclosed in which was not a big deal but a little unusual. Access to the buildings is card key controlled with elevators to get you to the second floor. There is ample parking. It is just outside the historic district and a very easy walk to many of the attractions including the governors house, mansion or whatever it is called.

I tried to write a report on the restaurant in the lodge but it seems I can't write about it by itself so here is that review- tired after a long journey in the rain we ate in the lodge and my partners meal was fine but mine (pork porterhouse) was way to salty. I mentioned it to the staff who offered to replace the meal but I struggled through it. The next night we had enjoyed "several" cocktails and it was still raining so it was safer to eat in again and the beef tenderloin was quite good. For the third night we did something we never do, had dinner at the hotel for the third time in a row. Our by then "friend" waiter, Phillip, caught us on our way out and said we should at least check the seafood buffet. Where we live good seafood is hard to find and this buffet looked fantastic. Steamed or chilled crab legs, crab cakes, large shrimp, mussels, sushi and prime rib if you must have meat. The desert table had many selections. We thoroughly enjoyed the dining experience. My only disappointment was they stopped serving Yuengling beer after our first night.

Room Tip: We enjoyed our room facing the courtyard with the sun coming in the window in the morning.

“Nicely run. Great location and amenities. Good food.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 20, 2013

Went after a death in the family. Nice hotel with great staff --- warm, Southern hospitality at its best. Rooms vary. Newer wings tend to be nicer than rooms in the main (check-in) building. Rooms are not outstanding for the price but are very clean and comfortable. At Christmas the Lodge is decorated beautifully. The decorations really added joy to my stay ---- very special, decorations everywhere! The fireplace by the bar was kept roaring and guests from all over the country gathered by the fire and shared what they had done that day. The Lodge attracts very nice guests --- many who are very interested in history. Food in the Lodge dining room was delicious and service could not have been improved. Front desk staff, bell men, valet parking staff, gift shop cashier ---- everyone was a class act, and, if I managed the hotel, I'd be so proud of them. Lodge guests can use the health club/spa across the street where I got an amazing hot stone massage by Susan Nielsen. So, especially if you need peace and a pretty little town to escape to, the Williamsburg Lodge in Williamsburg, Va can be an classy, yet low-key, choice.

Room Tip: Ask for room in a newer wing, not in the original building where you check in. Also some rooms have...

“Our Home From Home in Williamsburg”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 18, 2013

My wife and I travelled to The Lodge from Cleveland for a weekend visit on Dec.28th.
We have stayed here often and our favorite rooms are on the 3rd Floor of Tazewell Hall overlooking a Courtyard.
Common areas could use some more decoration and newer carpets, but location and comfort - and everything - is wonderful here. We'll be back again in June. We love this special place.

“Lodge of Choice”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 17, 2013

A wonderful place to stay while visiting Colonial Williamsburg. The village is a short walk away. Our last stay was close to the Christmas Holiday and the lodge was decorated but not overly-so. Quiet and peaceful would be a good way to describe our stay here. Seating areas around the lodge halls are plentiful and quaint. The desk attendants are polite and helpful.

The restaurant is outstanding – the Sunday brunch is one of the best we’ve experienced! So much so, we’ll plan our next visit to ensure a Sunday layover. The Lodge has ambience and a great location which makes it one of the best places to stay in the area.

“It's rustic”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 17, 2013

It is a rustic step back in time. If your looking for a nostalgic trip back to the olden days then this is the hotel for you. Back in the old days when toilets were a new invention and tubs did not drain. Breakfast buffet was adequate but not inspiring. Housekeeping and maintenance staff need to go through the place and review what they are doing. Elevator is dirty. They left personal information of who was in what room on a table in the hallway.

Spa was nice.
