Huge room in a quiet, wooded setting. Slightly-dated furnishing, but everything was very clean. I highly recommend for family travel—six people would not feel crowded in the room. Also good for business travel since it had a large desk, good lighting and decent WiFi.

I wasnt a fan. I had no idea Williamsburg Inn and Griffin Hotel were separate. I had to park at one, check in and then drive to another down the road. This after I paid $25 to park in the lot. The williamsburg inn as expected was very colonial, looked great. I was sent down the road. My bldg was newer looking on the outside, needed help on the inside. Shower was horrible. Funny to say rooms were dated! Its colonial williamsburg but maybe thats their excuse? Dont think I would stay here again

I was very disappointed with the condition of the hotel and our room. Supposedly the Griffin Hotel has been renovated but it looks shabby. For a hotel associated with The Williamsburg Inn I expected much better. Having stayed here many years ago it appears the furniture is different, but I swear the carpet looks like it is from 1989. I actually checked my photo album when I returned home and I’m fairly certain I'm right. There isnt’t a square foot without stains or spots. We found at least 3 dead bugs, 2 in the room and 1 in the dresser. The bed only had sheets and a thin blanket, no duvet or topper. The extra blanket in the dresser was stained, and had a leaf and/or a bug stuck to it. I swear this blanket was one of the old heavy ones from the Williamsburg Hotels of the 80’s as well. Plastic cups, mismatched and used toiletries, a broken lamp, and a dead light over the sink were things that we dealt with, but other people might not care to. The size of the room was wonderful and the location of the hotel is as well. It would be a great place to stay if it was truly renovated.
