Griffin Hotel, an Official Colonial Williamsburg Hotel

Guests appreciate the accommodating staff and convenient location near attractions. They also enjoy the comfortable, quiet rooms that provide a peaceful stay.

When arriving we checked in through the main house ( Williamsburg Inn?) by staff who were exceptional. The check in process, professionalism, hospitality and ease of check in was second to none. Our reservations were made for the Gold Wing house which was just a short distance from the main inn. When arriving to the Gold Wing House, it was very different than the Inn but nice. When we got to our room, it was noticable that it was a dated room and building but also possibly not well attended either which was strange considering the staff was exceptional the entire time. The room was very large, well furnished but had a wet musky smell to it. There were several stains in the carpet which gave an unclean feel. We gave grace due to the potential age until using the sofa that turned into a bed. When we opened the sofa into the bed, it still had sheets on it and food in them from previous guests. We contacted the front desk and someone came with new sheets and offered to change it. We used 3 sets of sheets for the sofa bed and disinfectant. It was good enough to get us through the night considering we was only staying one night. The rate was average to other hotels in the area but not worth what we felt we received. The experience of checking in and experiencing the main house was incredible but very different unfortunately to the experience when we arrived to our room. No doubt with some attention, the Gold Wing would be a nice place also. Great check inn, great staff but the cleanliness and maintenance of the Gold Wing needs some help.

We stumbled upon The Griffin while searching for hotels near William & Mary / Colonial Williamsburg area. Available dates/rates fit what we were looking for. The hotel has become a favorite location for us when visiting. It sits just off Colonial Williamsburg area, nestled in the trees. The rooms are large, quiet and the perfect place to rest after a busy day. While the bathrooms may be a little dated, the large space provided makes it easy to overlook, and adds to the charm of The Griffin. You have access to walking paths through the property, the pool shared by the Williamsburg Inn and Lodge, as well restaurants and spa. Staff is very attentive and a nice resource. Signed - looking forward to our next stay..
