Staying in a tavern, what's not to like? Area is pretty, you can come across soldiers marching or the armory testing guns. Very convenient to shops.

The houses are part of the Williamsburg Inn. My cabin was a bit rustic and the Inn is really elegant, best of two worlds. Close to the taverns, etc. I enjoyed the privacy of my own structure. And I had a designated parking place! The electric outlets didn’t all work, the toilet was temperamental, and it took me a long time to figure out how to lock the door from the inside. I went to the Inn for two meals. Yummy food and friendly service. Pricey!

I did not like having to pay a mandatory resort fee. It should just be included in the hotel price. This appears in many hotels now-a-days.

When you book into the Colonial Houses, know what you are getting into. The buildings are lovely, but old. The rooms are not plush. The bathrooms are small. We were the only people in an entire building with many bedrooms, yet we were placed on the second floor. Why? You can’t beat the location, and Williamsburg is so lovely, but there are more comfortable rooms available.
