I can’t say enough good things about this hotel. Our room was clean, large, beds comfortable, bathroom and two sink areas were convenient. The deck was overlooking a pond and a nice place to relax after walking the restoration area. Being close to the hotel and restaurants was perfect. And, the staff were exceptional.

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.

Desperately needs renovation

There were a few major issues with our stay at the Griffin.

1. Check-in was disastrous. The room was not ready at 4, but only b 4:50. We had to check in at the Willlamsburg Inn, which is not the same building. We tried to check in three times,. with deep lines and unhurried receptionists each time. Total time waste -- about an hour.
2. The Griffin is a series of unattended buildings that appear to be of a 1980s vintage and have not been renovated since that time.
3. Did I mention that Hotels.com photos are HIGHLY MISLEADING? I attach photos of our actual room, to which we UPGRADED for an extra $20 per night, resulting gin total charge of $230 per night. Trust me, you would be far better off at Holiday Inn or Fairfield.

Nice room but more than a few little things wrong

The room itself was fine. It was the incidentals that were a problem. The coffee maker was terrible, making lukewarm terrible coffee. The hairdryer was old but worse was the electric didn’t work. Call to get assistance because we were trying to get out the door, but it took a while. Housekeeping was only requested one day and they did the bare minimum of bed and towels and may be cleaned a sink. The rug be the vacuuming. The other thing was that the air conditioner had a musty smell. All of these are just little things, but it is not a cheap hotel and I think they should be fixed.
We also used the spa it was OK, but I think the problem is really what we picked to have done. Stick with the Massage . we also went to the bar to have drinks and snacks at the outdoor bar. That was a wonderful experience and would highly recommend the amenities and surroundings are beautiful. If it wasn’t for the few things that could be easily fixed the rating would be much higher.

Conveniently located

The hotel is conveniently located across the street to Colonial Williamsburg. The building looks like an apartment complex converted into an hotel. I did not see an elevator so we had to take our luggage through the stairs. I am glad it was only one floor. I looked and looked and did not see an elevator. Found that strange.

Accommodations were fine just furniture looks very antique but odd chairs and other items that do not match. Room was very spacious and our balcony was very nice. Room was clean.

The property is old and outdated, with noticeable dust throughout. The bathroom sink was clogged.

The check-in process was inconvenient, requiring visits to multiple buildings before completion. The staff appeared insincerely friendly, and provided excessive, unnecessary information.

Beautiful setting in Colonial Williamsburg - if you are fairly mobile, this is great spot within the Colonial area so you can walkl everywhere. The spa gym building is separate but it is a pretty walk behind the sister hotel Williamsburg Inn where you check inn. The place itself was a good sized room and we slept 5 of us for this last minute stay and we normally get separate roomed suites, but this worked fine and was more budget friendly. The room itself was not super modernly updated, but it was fine, big, quiet, and peaceful. Great job!

Service Defines the Experience

I was blown away! I booked the hotel because of the convenience, which was very understated. You are right in Colonial Williamsburg. My room was absolutely enormous with a fireplace, outstanding air conditioning, and two showers. I will be staying here again.

The room and convenience were not the best part. The service was truly remarkable. It was what I get at a Conrad, Ritz Carlton, or fine hotel in Paris. Dan, Tim, and the concierge were indescribable! They made me feel like I was the only guest with their tailored service. We were offered water, got special rates on tickets from the concierge, coupons for dining and shopping and a map with suggested places to go. I also recommend lunch at the Golden Horseshoe Gold Club behind the Inn for lunch.

Tip: When you check in, it’s not at the Griffin, it’s at the Williamsburg Inn.

Staff helpful. Room was very large with a nice balcony. Convienent walking distance to activities. A bit odd to be in a hotel that is not connected to the courtesy desk or the other hotel options. Building Green by the tennis court which made checking in a hassle. Google maps will lead you to a parking lot a good distance from the main building which is obscured by trees so walked around for 15 minutes trying doors to the green building which are keycard locked. Courtesy phone did not work. Eventually saw there was a sign (small) that reads Griffin hotel check in but since never there, was relying on Google maps. I admittedly may have missed some instructions on email/text.

Beautiful property to stay at, but there are a few things to discuss. I reported a few issues to the front desk that I am told will be address with maintenance. Two of the three bulbs above the glass sliding doors did not work, one of the bulbs in the lamp was still using a mercury bulb which was blown out and had to be discarded. The safe did not work at all and required new batteries. None of these really detracted from our experience, but we felt that these issues should be corrected for the next guests.
Also, the WiFi signal in this building was abysmal and I ended up just using my cellular connection most of the time. There is no option to use an Ethernet connection either. Either that or the device that I found that has Ethernet jacks on it doesn’t work. The WiFi network provided seems to be the public WiFi provided by Colonial Williamsburg, not their now. The green and gold buildings detached from The Griffin really need their own WiFi networks. Please provide the option to use an Ethernet connection as well, some people prefer that due to having better security and reliability.
The location of the building is a stones-throw away from the historic area and directly behind the King’s Arms Tavern, and we absolutely loved how close we were to the historic area. This is probably one of the best reasons to stay here in my opinion.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay here and would come again, but likely we would try to stay in the main building next time.

The internet service in the room that we were assigned to was faulty. I called both the front desk and the technical support number to report this on the first night, but the service problem was not corrected. The next day I personally went to the front desk and spoke to Tim, who said the he would see that the problem was remedied, but did not receive a call back from him, and when I returned to my room (3412) the problem was still not fixed, and Tim was gone for the day. So I personally went to the front desk again. The person at the front desk called tech support and I was told that it was a counter issue that they would correct. But again when I returned to my room I still could not connect with the internet. So I went back a 3rd time to the front desk, and asked them if they would give me another room that had functioning internet, which they did (3539). I was satisfied that ultimately my problem was solved, albeit arduously, and because of my perseverance. Apparently there is some inherent connectivity problem on the first floor of the building I was originally assigned to. The staff should have been aware of that; but even if they were not, the most customer oriented solution would have been to offer another room as soon as I reported back (on the first night) that the tech support fix was not successful. That said, McKenna did immediately agree to allow me to switch rooms, although I had to be the one to ask. Sincerely, Charles R. Mund, Glen Arm, Md

- Shower had not been cleaned. Used toiletries were still on the shelf in the shower.
- Sofa cushions were stained
- The outside door to the parking lot did not open properly. Required three attemptd and a hard shove to get it to open. FIRE HAZARD.
We reported these issues to the front desk. They gave us a $25 credit toward the resort fee, which was inadequate. A follow up call to management yield on offer of $75 towards dining if we made a return visit.

This is not an actual hotel, it is more like an outbuilding for overflow from the Williamsburg Inn. That said it is clean, convenient, affordable, room has a wonderful balcony, beautiful landscaping, fountains ponds and everything you would like for a wonderful restful time in CW. It’s also extremely close to everything you want to get to like the Kings arms Tavern, etc.

No there are no on-site amenities, no food or vending machines. But bottles of water can be delivered from the Inn and every request was met very promptly to our great satisfaction.

It's the little things that count; both good & bad

We won't be staying at the Griffin but will come back to Colonial Williamsburg. This hotel was the price of a Marriot with the amenities of a Motel 6. It was mostly clean (the heat vents on the floor hadn't been cleaned in ages by the looks of them) and the beds were comfortable. However, we had to hunt to find blankets. They were in the dresser with a broken knob. The outlets were all on the floor which meant bending under things to charge up our phones. There was a hole in the bathroom ceiling I didn't get a picture of. The carpeting probably was from the 1970's - it wasn't anything big that was wrong but a lot of little things that added up. Since Williamsburg shuts down at 5 pm and dinner only takes so long, we ended up in the room a lot.

The staff at the Williamsburg Inn, where you check in, were all amazing however. Everyone we talked to was helpful and attempted to get answers for us. Really, we will come back just never to the Griffin.

The setting back in the woods is very nice and peaceful. The room was nice, but a little bit tired. The room was very big, with two queens and a sofa bed - it would be a good place for a family. It could use better lighting both in the bathroom and the main room area. It always felt a little big dim in there. There was something sticky on the bathroom floor - seemed like it was something that needed to be scraped off and that hadn't been done.

My biggest complaint is that there is no food or room service of any kind in the hotel. There isn't even a water bottle filling station. There is a vending machine for sodas and theoretically one for snacks, but the snack machine was completely empty. There isn't even an address for the hotel, so I couldn't figure out a way to order delivery.

It is definitely in need of an upgrade, smells moldy and pictures of the original building on the walls says 1970. My husband said its ok its only for one night.

If you're looking for a convenient clean room for the night this is a terrible option. Its a resort, better suited for travelers that want to be pampered.
This was the worst check in experience I've been through. While the check in staff was excellent, be aware (as I wasnt) that the check location is an entirely different name than the hotel. Williamsburg Inn I believe. Parking is incredibly inconvenient everywhere on site. The room was in a location about 1/4 to half mile away, down pitch black roads.
The room itself was impeccable in every way.

Griffin was a wonderful property. Check in location was a bit tough due to dim lighting and rainy condition. Grounds and all staff were amazing through out he property, including the spa staff.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the Griffin Hotel. The outdoor space is wonderful and very well maintained. We really enjoyed the balcony off our room overlooking the pond. The walking convenience to Colonial Williamsburg is very nice. The negative side was the room itself. It really needs updating and had a musty smell. The furniture was pretty beat up and the sofa had several large stains. It made the room feel not as clean as it could/ should have been.

This property is within walking distance of Colonial Williamsburg and restaurants at merchant square. The room was large.

We love Williamsburg and drive the 3 hours to stay there a few times a year. The Griffin is great for pets with plenty of green space around the buildings. It's a very nice park-like setting. Like most \"last generation\" facilities it needs some upgrades but it's still a great place and value. We book it every time.

We have stayed here many times. Nice to see some the same faces at checkin and always pleasant to be greeted by the men out front. They are going through some changes with the keycard system. Our problem was quickly handled.
