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. Would stay there again.

Our stay in the Green Wing at the Griffin Hotel on April 26, 2025: - Convenient location in the heart of Colonial Williamsburg - Deluxe king room with sofa bed is quite large, though dated - 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. The condition of the room and the building is below expectations for a property in this price range.
