Hey Everybody,
I'm going down to Williamsburg, Va sometime this summer with my boyfriend and my two brothers whom are grown teenagers. I was wondering if anybody stayed at any decent hotels, condo's or plantation's ( i saw a couple of these on travelocity.com) down there. There's alot to choose from. I'm thinking a condo might be cheaper since we will probably have to get two rooms in a hotel.Plus they usually come with a full kitchen which would be cheaper then going out to restaurants the whole time. I can't wait, I love Busch Gardens! We are also thinking about driving over to Virginia Beach after a couple of days at busch gardens. Any tips would be helpful. The last time i went was probably four years ago. Thanks, Melissa

I have only stayed at the Marriott right next to Busch Gardens and it was perfectly fine. But there are literally hundreds of hotels/motels to choose from in the Wilmsbrg area. I only live about 60 miles from Wlmsbrg, so generally when I go it's for a day trip.

I wish I could give you more help, but don't have enough experience with all the places that are offered.

I love Busch Gardens, too!!

Sorry, I have no tips for you. But, I have always wanted to go to Williamsburg. Please give us a trip report on how your trip turned out when you get back.

Check out SkyAuction.com. They have several timeshare visits up for auction right now.

Very nice condo places are supposed to be Powhatan Plantation, Patriot's Place, One called Kingsmill Resort (or something close to that). Some very nice hotels are the Ramada Inn 1776, Fort Magruder Inn, Patrick Henry Inn, Williamsburg Lodge.

I stayed at an Econolodge a few years back that was actually very nice. It was something like the King George Inn but was owned by Econolodge (there were tons of Econolodges in Williamsburg at that time!!!). I don't know if it's still an EL or not. It's across the road from the 1776.

Do not stay at the Days Inn nearest Busch Gardens (the one on Water Country Parkway). I stayed there when it was new and it was very nice. however, it has not been kept up at all. I stayed there I beleive it was Sept 2002. If I had gotten it cheap on Priceline, say $30/night, I wouldn't complain. However, we paid around $65 + tax, and I was not happy at all w/ it. 4 starbursts my foot!

I typed in Williamsburg+hotels in Google and found a place that has a lot of the hotels listed. Williamsburg.no1hotels.net. There's a Country Inn and Suites on Bypass Rd that looks good from it's pictures.

Hope you find soemthing good!

<font color="purple"> We are going to Williamsburg next month. We will be staying at the Radisson Fort Magruder Inn. Although this is our first trip to Williamsburg, our kids have stayed there before and have chosen the same hotel for us to stay in this trip. My son booked our rooms through Priceline at only $70 a room - a great price for such a nice hotel. </font>

I've stayed at the Fort Magruder Inn before and the Williamsburg Hospitality House as well. The are both nice hotels and I'd recommend both. The Williamsburg Hospitality House is within walking distance to Colonial Williamsburg, which is a huge plus!

There are a ton of timeshares and condos for rent around Williamsburg and we've stayed in one before, but I just can't seem to recall what it was called. There is a site called TimeShare Users Group that list rentals (some are a bit steep in price) that you could look over. And I agree SkyAuction is a good place to look to.

We stayed at the Embassy Suites in Williamsburg for our tenth anniversary four years ago. The hotel suites had a main bedroom with a seperate pull out couch in the living area. Both rooms had their own TV. The hotel was very nice, and the prices at the time were very reasonable. It was a short drive to the Williamsburg Visitors Center (where your buy you tickets).

We were at Williamsburg in October and stayed at the Williamsburg Lodge. Our room was beautiful!

Hope you have a nice trip!

I live in Richmond (about an hour away) a lot of the little Mom and Pop motels in Williamsburg are clean and neat... there are a ton of places to stay close to 64 and to the Colonial area.... easy to get to BG from there or VA Beach... Make sure you eat at the Trellis (in Merchants Square Colonial Williamsburg) while you're there... It is wonderful! Lunch is cheaper than dinner... and whatever you do, don't skip dessert! Marcel Desaulneirs is famous for his Death By Chocolate Cake and many others..... Here is the main link for the TrellisThe Trellis

I'll second that! The Trellis is awesome - try getting the chef's table by the kitchen. You can watch them prepare the food and they talk with you! It's really fun but it can get a little warm but still is worth it!!

I can't offer help with a hotel since we are timeshare owners in Wmbg but Governor's Green is an awesome timeshare that has a great indoor pool. They have other ammenities in the "club house" too.

Have a wonderful time! We love Wmbg and the surrounding areas. Yorktown is another favorite and they have a little beach too right in town. Don't forget to visit some of the plantations around the area, too.
