The Williamsburg Inn is a delightful place to enjoy a get-away, while visiting Colonial Williamsburg, or other area attractions. Upon arriving, we were met by the attentive staff who saw to our every need. When entering the hotel, we saw many vases of beautiful yellow roses grouped together, which complemented the attractive décor. There are many sitting areas to visit with friends, or quietly read a book. At various times, a lady dressed in 18th century clothing was seated knitting, which...

My wife and I headed to Washington for a 3 day weekend. We stayed at the Trump International Hotel. The room was 745, which had a nice view of the Capital Building. We did not bring a car since the hotel was so close to main attractions. We walked or rode bikes most of the time. Previously, the nicest hotel I have ever stayed in was Hotel d’Aubusson in Paris. The Trump International was amazing and is now the best place I have ever stayed.

Lisa is a new innkeeper but she certainly has prepared to be exceptional from the get-go. My husband does not eat eggs; she took the time to prepare a special baked oatmeal for him while the rest of us guests had frittata. Every client was treated as if they were the only people in the inn on a rainy home UVA football game weekend and a full house! She and her mom made time to talk while keeping plates moving and making sure that nothing was out of place. We highly recommend this lovely...

We've returned to Keswick three times during the past 12 months, and we will do so again many times into the future. This is "our" go-to 5 Star resort for a mini-vacation...the best in Virginia.

My son and I decided to have a mommy and son day, before I have my 2nd child. My 8 year old son wanted to stay at the Ritz. He wanted to enjoy the indoor heated pool and order room service. He loved the pool and the food ordered through room service was on point my son is very picky regarding hotels and food. He has been traveling since he was 6 weeks old and has always had a high standard for hotels and food.

We stayed at the resort when the town of Middleburg has it's annual Christmas town parade so needless to say every hotel and restaurant in the area was booked way in advance. We were quickly checked in and went our room. It was beautiful, clean, big bathroom with robes and even bath salts for a soak in the nice tub. We had a first floor room with a patio and the sun was shining bright in the room. After we settled we went to see the concierge about maybe finding a dinner reservation somewhere...

My family and I visited this hotel for a few days over winter break, and our experience was absolutely magical. Upon checking in, my 10 year old was greeted and asked if she liked to read. From there, she was escorted into an executive office and issued her very own library card for within the hotel. She was ecstatic. The history alone within this establishment is remarkable. They have a “history hallway” that describes the hotel’s existence and all the famous patrons that have travelled...

This is a fabulous hotel that is central to the metro and restaurants. The lobby area is stunning! Wish the beds were a bit comfier for the price. Rooms are a good size.

Right on the wharf. Lots of food choices within walking distance. Upper End vibe. No Walmart lifestyle choices so….keep it moving if that’s your vibe. Very DC with a strong professional element. Great views of DC1 & Pentagon along with walking distance to ferry to Alexandria. All good.
