Location. Staff was amazing and very friendly. Only a few steps away from everything you wanted to do in colonial Williamsburg

Pillows hard. I was actually hoping for a buffet breakfast at the price.. please advise your guest that room 5251 is haunted. We were not informed of the killer clowns that occupied the presence and that there was a history of mass murder after two or three families had died there please do not put anyone in room 5251.

The hotel is adjacent to the Colonial Williamsburg welcome center where you purchase tickets to visit the historic sites. By staying at the hotel you will receive discount pricing on admission. There is a shuttle that is a short ride to the various sites. Simply put, this is the hotel that you want to stay at when visiting Colonial Williamsburg. There several events that happen throughout the day and evening at Colonial Williamsburg so being able to quickly return to the hotel to get warmer clothes or drop off gifts is very convenient. Be sure to check out the activities at the hotel.

There was also a continental breakfast that was included which was decent. Location is great (right behind the Colonial Williamsburg visitor center).

The first room we were placed in need some rehab, the curtain backs were falling apart from sun damage and the TV didn't work. We called the main desk and they said they would send maintenance immediately but an hour and a half later I had to call the front desk again, they were told the issue was resolved which it was not. The apologized and immediately sent someone, the TV needed to be replaced so they moved us to another room, they offered an upgrade for the inconvenience.

The hotel was just lovely and the location couldn’t have been better. There was a visitor center right on site with discounted tickets to all the sites and a great museum shop. The room was very large and comfortable and very clean. The food at breakfast had a nice selection, and we were able to bring our pup with us and sit in the lobby area to eat each morning. It was a great experience.

When we first arrived, the grounds were a bit confusing because of the layout of the buildings. It’s took us a bit to find our room as the buildings were not well marked. But once we did, it was then really easy to get around.

Woodlands is slighly more expensive compared to other hotels on our two-month Road Trip. But we wanted something more comfortable after friends had unknowingly exposed us to COVID a few days before. If infected, we wanted to quarantine in more comfortable surroundings. Turns out we are extremely happy with Woodlands. Best breakfast, Big comfy room, great WiFi, friendly staff, central location, etc. Plus you are just a few steps away from Colonial Williamsburg.

Rates are the same if you book directly with the hotel. But if you book directly you receive free admission to Historic Colonial Williamsburg.

Woodlands is a nice hotel – especially for kids. Lots of room to run, activities for kids every day (trivia contests, crafts, magician, etc) The grounds are huge, nice for a stroll, and the visitor’s center is a good introduction to Old Williamsburg. (It was pouring rain the days we were there and we didn’t take advantage of any tours.) The rooms and the hotel itself are squeaky clean with a nice lobby area for relaxing. Amazingly we had housekeeping staff clean our room every day, make the beds, leave clean towels, something often not happening today in the large chains. The breakfast is the usual hotel fare with a nice assortment of choices. Note: the usual scrambled eggs/sausage/bacon option was combined into McMuffin style sandwiches with pancakes or English muffins for the bread. The best part of our stay was Jennifer at the front desk. She was efficient and helpful as we needed to relocate our walker-using, elderly grandmother to a room closer to the entrance.

The dining area is a drawback as it isn’t large enough to accommodate the large number of vacationers. People were searching for tables constantly, including any available table space in the lobby, while lots of folks seemed to be doing “carryout” to their rooms. My criticism is that this hotel is so large it is not really friendly to older folks who aren’t in shape to handle the 200-300 steps that it might take to get to your room, to the dining area, out the door, etc. In my opinion, anyone requiring a walker should consider finding a room somewhere else. Plus the layout is confusing and I and others I met in the halls were constantly getting turned around trying to find our room, the lobby, the door to our parking lot, etc.

The property was amazing and very family oriented. It was clean and you saw staff cleaning all day. Stay was amazingly nice. They also had a sun contractor that leased motor scoters for the elderly and handicapped and I thought that was a plus since my husband is handicapped and they came within 15 mins of me calling. Breakfast was great. It saved me a lot of money. They also have so many activities for the children to do at the hotel. Plus the huge pool and sprinkler park was epic

They had no maintenance available for when our toilet clogged. And they didn’t offer other meat options other than pork. Other than that it was amazing

I like the Woodlands a lot - its setting in the woods is really nice and peaceful, and in the hotter months the pool is a blessing. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and very clean. The breakfast is good, with a nice selection of items available. Also really appreciate the access to the shuttle bus from the Visitors Center to Colonial Williamsburg.

One thing this hotel is missing is a bar, or somewhere to eat/drink in the evenings. Being slightly outside of town, it would be good if there were somewhere guests could spend time outside of their rooms, for evenings when they don't feel like going into town. The 'Huzzah' family eatery on site seems to have been closed for quite a while.

The staff was amazing, at check in they took the time to explain all the area had to offer. The breakfast was the best continental breakfast I’ve ever had. They even had a separate gluten free section! The pool and splash pad was huge and perfect for our family with young children. Colonial Williamsburg and the visitor center is very close. The walk to both is quick and easy and full CW vibe! Every night they have all sorts of activities, miniature golf, magic shows, s’mores…. Ect ect all included. We booked it randomly, and this will be where we stay every time now!

It’s quit sits back like its own lil community we just happen to stay here for our return trip back home and after just staying one night to rest our heads we are planning on returning. 15 minute walk to historic sites which we were not able to do because we checked in to late. They have a nice outdoor pool and a nice lil pool for the little ones. Mini golf corn hole boards as well as air hockey. Breakfast was decent they offered assorted bagels and muffins as well as cereals yogurt and fresh cut up fruit. Some breakfast sandwiches and boiled eggs. Plenty of bottled orange and apple juice as well as milk. Also I did see that they offered gluten free sliced bread and had almond milk for those that need that. All in all I would totally recommend them. Like I said we are planning on returning soon.
