    golden horseshoe
    driving range
    insufficient lighting

    We enjoyed a fantastic day at the Golden Horseshoe Golf Club, hitting some great shots at the driving range. The space was beautiful, and the experience was unforgettable, especially having a good time hanging out with family and friends.

    My kids wished there were more lights for night walks around the property. This would enhance safety for families with children.

    large rooms
    family-friendly

    The large rooms were perfect for my family with young adult siblings. We had a great time on the balcony, just relaxing and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere.

    It wasn't exactly cheap, but, you know, we made it work.

    accessibility issues

    The Griffin Hotel features beautiful grounds amidst a serene wooded area, perfect for relaxation after a long business day. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful, ensuring that my stay was comfortable. The classic decor added a charming touch, creating a welcoming ambiance throughout the hotel. The conference space was adequately equipped for meetings, facilitating my work needs effectively.

    The HVAC system was noisy and could use an upgrade.

    would definitely return here

    The grounds are awesome, surrounded by trees and flowers. The room was big, featuring a balcony, fridge, and a nice flat-screen TV. There’s a heated outdoor pool and various fitness options. The staff was super friendly, and I loved the cozy vibe. Plus, it’s close to Colonial Williamsburg attractions.

    limited seating

    I adored the classic elegance of the Griffin Hotel, with its charming decor and beautiful grounds. The serene pond and ample seating areas made it a comfortably inviting space for relaxation, especially for senior guests like myself.

    More accessible seating in common areas would help seniors.

    comfortable bed
    good tv selection
    no elevator
    minor maintenance issues

    I stayed in a Deluxe King Room for 2 nights. The room was great—super spacious and clean. I loved the comfortable bed and the TV selection was solid. The view was beautiful, too! Just a bit bummed there was no elevator in the building. But overall, it was cozy and inviting.

    historic decor
    spacious room
    beautiful balcony
    no dining options
    limited amenities

    The Griffin Hotel, An Official Colonial Williamsburg Hotel, offered us a unique experience with its charming, historic decor. The spacious room provided a cozy nook for our family to relax, and having a balcony with a view of nature was a delightful bonus. The hotel also features a lovely pool, which the kids really enjoyed!

    The lack of an onsite dining option was inconvenient.

    Perfect Stay in Colonial Williamsburg!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our two-night stay! The spacious room impressed us with its cleanliness, and the comfortable bed was a delight after long days exploring. Don’t miss the all-day snack bar with fresh fruit and pastries for a quick pick-me-up. A lovely experience overall!
