Top Charles City Hotel Reviews

Hilton Vacation Club The Historic Powhatan Williamsburg

10/10 Excellent

"Love this place"

Omni Richmond Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"These folks understand business and customer service. They make it hard to ever stay anywhere else if I'm in Richmond. This location is so convenient to everything downtown, and the staff is amazing! I have no complaints at all."

Vacation Village At Williamsburg

8/10 Good

"I've stayed here 3 times and had mixed results. It is typically a great price for what you get, but there a a lot of units here and some have more privacy than others. This last time our unit was right next to the service area which always has action going on. I would have thought that would have been placed in a more remote area."

King’s Creek Resort by Spinnaker

10/10 Excellent

"GREAT place 2 stay we enjoyed"

Best Western Premier Richmond City Gateway

8/10 Good

"Thank you."

The Colonies at Williamsburg

8/10 Good

"Room was clean and comfortable. We had several issues that were taken care of immediately including light bulbs, TVs and refrigerator that didn’t work. Excellent and quick service correcting everything but probably shouldn’t have happened. My only complaint bothers me a lot: At check in we were given a temporary parking pass. We were told to come back the following day to get one for our entire stay. When we went back we were told we should return in an hour. I consider this to be a ridiculously inconvenient procedure with no legitimate explanation given. Management needs to get involved!"

The Commonwealth

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay!! Nice room and good location."

Wyndham Garden Williamsburg Busch Gardens Area

8/10 Good

"The room was clean, no bugs or bad smells. The biggest problem that I had was that the bathroom fan was very loud and annoying. The breakfast was fair, scrambled eggs, pork sausage links, French Toast, cereal, mini bagels, juices and coffee. The location is close to Target and Busch Gardens. For a cheap price this is a good hotel."

Williamsburg Woodlands Hotel & Suites, an official Colonial Williamsburg Hotel

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was nice. I liked the fresh bagels. My husband was disappointed in the lack of options. Muffins were great. Loved the suite. But seems a little outdated. But nice. The desk staff checked us in early and was very nice."
