Nice old hotel.
Grounds are beautiful and well maintained. The furniture and carpeting is worn and outdated. The bedding is clean, beds are comfortable. The bathroom had quite a bit of mold, and I scrubbed it. Rooms are spacious and good for families.

Verified traveller

Disliked: Cleanliness
The past part about the hotel was that it was close to the Williamsburg Inn, allowing us to escape from the Griffin Hotel. The grounds surrounding the hotel were not well maintained. The room had a musty smell and the large opening to the patio was filthy. The bathroom required proper cleaning and the rooms needed to be repainted. Paint was coming off the walls. The water pressure in the shower was extremely deficient and the stopper in the bath tub was not working in that it would close when you did not want it to - thereby resulting in standing water.

The room was large and comfortable for our family of four. I wish it had had a microwave, and there were some areas in need of updating. But the bed, shower, and furniture were all comfortable. The patio was lovely.

Great location! Rooms are very dated but comfortable. The balcony is nice and spacious. No elevator. We had to ask for regular coffee because we were only left decaf both days of our stay. There's also a heafty resort fee for amenities that we didn't use.
