Super clean and cute room - I stayed in the Tavern Rooms down on the Duke of Gloucester Street. The bellmen were exceptionally helpful and provided the shuttle to the room and even to my next destination at William and Mary. I did get to enjoy a pedicure at the spa which was a quick walk from where my room was. I would definitely stay here again!

The tavern rooms are a completely immersive experience within walking to all things Colonial Williamsburg. The pool/fitness center is off site at the check in (about .2 of a mile) so may not feel as welcoming but worth it if you don’t mind walking. So much history! The grounds are beautifully kept and inviting areas throughout the grounds. We would love to come back and wish we had a longer stay!

I had a wonderful stay at this historic tavern. The experience offered the charm and authenticity of 18th-century living while still providing all the modern amenities needed for a comfortable visit. The room was clean, well-appointed, and featured an exceptionally comfortable bed that made for a restful night's sleep. What truly stood out was the unique atmosphere. The tavern beautifully preserved its historic character, allowing guests to step back in time without sacrificing convenience or comfort. The staff was welcoming, and the property was well maintained.

There were ants in my room and never saw housekeeping to mention it or get help. I was never given wifi info The spa refused me my anemities and guest services/spa manager never got back up with me to get a resolution (this was a problem going back to check in). The location was fantastic! I love that Jefferson lived there and it was centrally located! One of the smallest bathrooms in a colonial house. They do use a lot of bleach. Doors slam at night (noisy neighbors). I am optimistic of a call back and resolution to my issues.

Williamsburg was a last minute stop on our vacation and we were elated we made the trip. The location for our property was amazing. Walk to everything and the area was really beautiful with much to do. House was fun as it was in the colonial period.

It was a very cute room. Very historic. There were ants all over however. But the location was the best. If you are looking for a quiet retreat the Market Square Tavern rooms are not for you. The cannon goes off a lot and drum and fife play frequently. But you can walk everywhere from it.
