"It is worth staying here if you are going to Colonial Williamsburg. The hotel parking lot is essentially the visitors' center parking lot, and the hotel gives you a pass to park for free. They also give you a coupon for a discount on tickets to Colonial Williamsburg. I loved the huge (Olympic-sized?) pool in the evenings. Breakfasts were plentiful. There was some trouble calling the hotel initially (all phone calls would cut off after 14 seconds) and the hotel responding to the link given by Expedia. Hopefully they have that fixed."

The Colonial Williamsburg gardens are in full bloom, offering a lovely backdrop for your visit. It's also a great time for couples to enjoy strolls through the historic area without the intense summer heat or larger crowds.Autumn offers similarly agreeable temperatures, usually between 10°C and 20°C, and the changing leaves provide beautiful scenery. This season is superb for families, as the cooler weather makes walking around the extensive historical park more comfortable for children, and many seasonal events, like harvest festivals, are often held. The crisp air is excellent for exploring Jamestown and Yorktown as well.While summer (June to August) is popular due to school holidays, it can be very hot and humid, with temperatures often exceeding 30°C. Winter (November to March) is cooler, with temperatures sometimes dropping below freezing, though holiday decorations in Colonial Williamsburg can be quite special.
