We stayed here as part of our 3 day ticket package to Busch Gardens/Water Country USA. When we…read morearrived we were told we didn't have a reservation. After talking with the general manager, we figured out the issue, they found our reservation and off we went. I appreciated the GM's help and demeanor because the front desk person that afternoon was super unhelpful and rude. Our room was quite nice and comfortable with a front sitting area (desk, chair, sofa, tv) and then a separated bedroom. The bathroom was spacious and clean as well. We used the pool a couple of times and it was a nice amenity. With our package breakfast was not included but with one adult breakfast purchased 2 kids could eat free. It was buffet style. We ate here Monday-Wednesday out of convenience. On our checkout day, we ate off property. The buffet was okay-one day there were omelettes which were good. If the kids were not free, we'd probably would have gone off property for breakfast more. The hotel is very convenient to the attractions in Williamsburg and is a solid place to stay if you're visiting this area.

My family and I stayed here during our recent trip to Williamsburg. We were in town to go to Busch…read moreGardens. This particular hotel isn't as close to the park compared to others in the area. But I thought it was in a really great part of Williamsburg, with plenty of food, etc, shopping, grocery, etc. around. The hotel itself is quite nice. The lobby had a sleek look to it and was kept clean. The pool space was great and lots of families/kids were there enjoying it. I appreciated the gym and thought it had just the right amount of stuff to get a quick workout in. As for the rooms, they were nice but were certainly not as renovated as other Holiday Inn rooms we've stayed in recently. My mom noted that "there was too much brown" in the room. Although the space was the perfect size for our stay. The living room was a good size, with a couch, chair, tv, and desk. The mini kitchen was standard, with a microwave, mini fridge, and coffee maker. Bathroom was standard. We got a double queen room. I thought the beds were comfortable and this space wasn't too cramped. This is not a Holiday Inn Express, so breakfast is not complimentary and you will be expected to pay either during or prior to your stay (when you are booking). The breakfast goes for $14.99 per adult (kids 12 and under eat free0, unless you purchase in advance while booking your room. It is a continental breakfast style buffet and it opens at 6:30am. On the weekends, breakfast goes until 10am, weekdays it ends at 9am. I thought the selection was great! Offering pork sausage links, turkey sausage patties, and bacon for protein options. They had eggs, which were seasoned with parsley, really good breakfast potatoes, and French toast sticks. As well as biscuits with sausage gravy. They also had yogurt with fresh berries and pineapple offered as toppings. And of course they had juices, breads, and oatmeal. My dad was disappointed they didn't have any milk though. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at this Holiday Inn. This will most likely become our new go-to when visiting Busch Gardens. The location isn't the closest to the park, but it isn't far by any means. It is located near plenty of good restaurants, etc. The rooms are nice, the amenities were enjoyable, and the breakfast was pretty decent (with a nice selection!). I would recommend staying here with family when in the area, great hotel with great staff!

It is an indoor/outdoor pool with a large outdoor free space. They had several areas of free space in the lobby which is great for small groups. They only provided housekeeping 1 time and it only included garbage change and new towels. They do not do full housekeeping, apparently. When I called down in need of extra coffee, they brought it up quickly. I found the staff was hit or miss at the front desk. They were supposed to provide a welcome bag, but they did not, and when I asked questions to one person she did not know the answer. The bistro was ok. The staff were honestly very unhelpful, so we went elsewhere to get our coffee the next morning.

Upon check-in, we were told we needed to put a card on file--which was expected--but then were informed of a $130 hold being placed on it. This was never mentioned during booking, and our room had already been paid in full. Once we got to our room (after needing our key cards reactivated three separate times), we discovered the AC was barely working. I reported it to the front desk and was told to "wait until night" to see if it improved. It didn't. The pull-out couch was incredibly uncomfortable--thin padding with metal bars digging into your back all night. We also had to call maintenance because the toilet wouldn't flush. Turns out, it needed to be rebuilt. WiFi was another issue. It only worked if you were standing right by the door. Anywhere else in the room? Zero signal. While the staff were friendly and the pool was nice, the splash pad area was shut down for the first day and a half of our stay. Everything around the resort felt like it was "off-season" despite being the middle of summer. The putt-putt course was completely unmanaged, several buildings on the property were visibly falling apart, and the onsite restaurant was closed. Breakfast was underwhelming and overcrowded. It seemed like anyone could just walk in and eat--even people not staying at the hotel--which added to the chaos. The website also advertised golf, but there was zero mention or sign of it during our entire stay. For the price we paid and the additional resort fees, we expected much more. Unless those fees actually go toward providing a fun and well-maintained experience for families, I wouldn't stay here again.

What a pleasant surprise! My mother and I wanted to get away and take an overnight trip and I…read morerandomly chose this B&B. I'm not a B&B person but I believe I am now. I mainly wanted to support local business so opted for a B&B rather than a chain hotel. When we arrived there was a key in the mailbox. We were the only ones here. The owner had stepped out. I didn't expect that level of trust but it immediately made me feel at home and we explored. What a house! Super clean but there are treasures in every corner. Who does the dusting! Barely saw a fleck. This house holds many memories from this family and this city and you can feel it. We stayed in the Captain John Smith suite. The suite is amazing and super cozy. The separate seating room is such a bonus and I agree with the other reviews it's worth the upgrade. As the only guests we looked in all the rooms and you cannot go wrong. Suite or not. First time experiencing a steam shower. It's a nice upgrade. Took me awhile to adjust the power of it. Warning unless you are tall don't go in and turn it to full power. I did stumble across a first. A black makeup rag. How smart. Ladies tend to ruin white rags with our makeup! Breakfast- oh the smells! I was worried that being the only 2 here the breakfast would be lacking. How wrong. I actually feel guilty this food wasn't shared by a larger group. It's indulgent and it was delicious. Southern at its best. I would come back just for that! There was yogurt and fresh fruit, fresh Ike made muffins, skillet potatoes, fluffy eggs, crisp perfection bacon, and peppered tomato slices. They were out of ketchup which turned out to be a blessing bc everything was seasoned perfectly. I ate every bit onmy plate. What a great spread! They normally do buffet style but since it was only us they didn't which did not take away from our bellies! Overall what a treasured stay. The conversations were easy and natural. Very down to earth people who make you feel at home. Ike is warm and inviting and his smile makes you feel warm. I highly recommend the splurge to stay here and make sure you save time to just lounge around!

Great Scott! No, not Winfield Scott or Sir Walter Scott, but Scott, the innkeeper at the Magnolia…read moreManor B&B!! What a wonderful host! We called for a last minute reservation & Scott immediately accommodated us! We asked for a 2 bedroom suite, as I was traveling for a weekend getaway with my BFF (and fellow "Steel Magnolia") for a girl's trip & Scott graciously offered the entire 3rd floor rooms to us @ a terrific price! He sent us emails with arrival info, weather updates & activities to enjoy during our stay. We were immediately impressed by the façade of this magnificent brick structure featuring several magnolia trees on the manicured lawn. Walking in was like stepping back in time! We loved the entry room with its immaculate wooden floors, showcase w/ books & antiques, stunning brick fireplace & hearth, w/ the mantle displaying pewter. We were absolutely drawn in to the Colonial Williamsburg feel! What a perfect welcome! The sitting & dining area were decorated w/ the same colonial vibe, a cozy sofa, a corner secretary, a grandfather clock & a set of comfy wing chairs matched w/ an antique table, by the white wooden fireplace accented w/ a copper tea things, candles, clocks & figures. This room also had a buffet table where breakfast was to be served. It had a huge selection of teas & snacks which were available all day. The rooms were exquisitely furnished; we loved the antique colonial feel. My room 3, was beautifully appointed w/ a grand four poster king bed that was high as the clouds! I loved the vintage step stool provided in each room to climb the stairway to heaven!! The bed was soft & comfy as the clouds too! I felt like I was truly sleeping in the heavens! The room was equipped with all the amenities necessary for our stay! A small frig & a luggage rack were tucked into the dormer windows w/ floral valances, a brocade camel back settee, plenty of outlets for your devices w/ free wifi, lamps, and closet space. The closets had nice wooden hangers and ironing supplies. I loved the burgundy oriental rugs & the creative way the flat screen tv was mounted to the wall. There were built in drawers on either side of the room, but the top drawers were taken out to attach the tv, yet the integrity of the colonial look was kept in tact. Clever! As this an old manor house, the floors creaked as we walked on them adding the the colonial charm of the place! One has to remember that this is an old manor house not a modern hotel, yet it was just as comfortable to us as a newer space. It was so homey and warm. The bathroom had cool, brass vintage fixtures, a large shower w/ great water pressure, plenty of towels & washcloths & a hairdryer (which dried my long hair super fast) in the vanity. Shower gel and conditioning shampoo is provided in dispensers in the shower, but you may want to pack some of your own conditioner. The highlight of the bathroom, and indeed, my experience in this inn, was the huge bathtub with a jacuzzi! I'm so glad I brought my bubble bath because I used this relaxing tub both days of my stay and it was so relaxing! The beveled mirrors were interesting additions & the recessed lighting on dimmers added to the chill vibe. There are extra towels downstairs by the staircase should any guests need more than the ones provided. My friend's room, 4, was just as special as mine, w/ a pretty cream settee at the foot of the bed. The bathroom to this room is private & is exclusively for the guests in room 4; it's about two or three steps from the room. But certainly not inconvenient. After our restful nights, we awoke to simply breakfasts that were diverse each morning, accommodating a variety of dietary needs. One morning it was French toast stuffed w/fruit compote and powered sugar on top (a guest fav!) along w/turkey bacon, the next morning was egg, veggie & cheese sandwiches served with fruit & muffins (which were homemade & delectable!) There's also oatmeal & energy/granola bars offered. Due to COVID, the meals are served in wax paper, individually wrapped, which took away from the B&B experience but was certainly understandable due to the circumstances. Scott let us know that this was a temporary feature, although many of his guests love the "grab n' go" convenience of the wrapped foods. Pots of hot fresh coffee were on hand as well! Although the breakfasts weren't my fave, I appreciated that Scott can always accommodate his guests preferences such as keto, gluten free, vegan, etc. He's a hard worker! He was always so cordial & hospitable to everyone! In the back of this gorgeous estate is plenty of parking for the guests, Adirondack chairs encircling a fire pit, a deck w/ additional seating & a welcoming "pineapple" sign! The owners here truly live up to the pineapple symbol of welcome w/ their friendly demeanor! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Magnolia Manor B&B and we will without a doubt return to this charming, stately, historic inn!

The inside of the house was more beautiful then the inside and it was decorated with colonial style curtains, pillows and even old style chairs. When it came to the room, the room was great! The best part was the huge bath tub with the jets! The jets felt amazing! and the tub was big enough for 2 people, which was a plus. The shower was really large as well and had a shower spout for your bottom area, which I have never seen before but it was very interesting. The bed was very high and I could barely get on top of it but luckily there was a step stool next to the bed to climb up to get in bed. It had a mini fridge in the room as well which was good, but it would have been better if there were some free beverages inside, like I have seen at other B&B I have been to. The breakfast was just eh and kind of weird honestly. Day one breakfast was like this piece of bread with maybe apples inside and they were individually wrapped and put out inside of a cake dish for whoever is staying at the B&B. There was only lemon water and plain water, and there wasn't much else as far as drinks. I was expecting more than just a weird piece of apple bread for breakfast because we were set for a long day of exploring the town and we wanted to have full stomachs while we were out, but that wasn't happening. There was literally nothing else to eat.....t was kind of strange. The next days breakfast was some sort of breakfast sandwich and that's it! They got the bed part on point in bed and breakfast, but the breakfast part sucked. They need to do better on that end. On a plus they had fresh baked cookies out for guests to have throughout the day and they were sooooooo good!
