Best Place to Stay in Williamsburg
Our stay was short and wish we could have stayed longer because it was amazing. The unit we were in was so clean and big and so cozy it felt like we were home. There are so many things to do around the resort that we want to go back and stay longer so we can take the time to enjoy it more. Check in process was smooth and finding our unit was easy. I love the security there and how quiet it was. We cannot wait until we can stay here again.
