Please be aware that there is an additional $30 per day resort fee whether or not you use the resort facilities. The check in location is not co-located with the room. The facility has steep steps that would be difficult for elderly or handicapped to access.

My husband and I stayed here while moving our daughter into her college dorm at W&M. Keeping in mind that this is a 250ish year old house and is meant to feel authentic with a few modern upgrades (plumbing, AC, TV, etc) it was in excellent condition. The staff was very polite and helpful, We’ll definitely stay again when we come back to visit our daughter.

We love that the Brick House is right on Duke of Gloucester Street. Parking is available, but you do have to walk around the building. The bathrooms are TINY, making it difficult to carry out toiletries, but very clean. Noise is a bit of an issue - people coming and going is pretty loud. Water running, toilets flushing, people walking around is heard. All that said, we have returned to the Brick House 3 times, and the location is worth the bothersome issues. Location, location, location!! All staff is very friendly and eager to help.

We went to see Colonial Williamsburg and our colonial house was right in the middle. Close to everything. It is apart of the Williamsburg Inn as well, which gave us access to their amenities.

This is such a unique opportunity to stay in the heart of Historic Williamsburg Virginia. Yet you have modern conveniences. Staying here puts you right in perfect mood to immersion in the history of Williamsburg in the 16th and 17th century

The main thing here is that the accommodation is right in the heart of Colonial Williamsburg. It couldn't possibly be a better location. So the room is pretty expensive, but IMO absolutely worth it for the special experience it provides. Working with the Williamsburg Inn for the trip was also a nice experience. I booked a queen room colonial house, which ended up being a room in a larger colonial house with many rooms. However, it was completely silent. I will be back to stay in one of the colonial houses.
