The room was spacious and greatly appreciated by a family with three teenagers. It did smell a bit musky though, maybe it was the antique furniture in the room? We loved the gym, it was top rate for a hotel for sure. The staff was kind, the grounds were gorgeous! Loved the ease of being so close to Colonial Williamsburg. Would totally stay again.

I was looking for a quiet place with a balcony and a bath tub. I was taking a few days for myself, and this was exactly what I wanted. The room was quiet, the balcony overlooked the pond, it was a dreamy. The room was spotless, the bathroom was spotless. It was perfect for this mama who needed a few days of peace and quiet.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.
