Governor's Inn Review

Least expensive of the foundation's hotels, the extraordinarily well-maintained Governor's Inn is a two- and three-story, 1960s-vintage brick motel, most of whose rooms open to outdoor walkways. This not your ordinary inexpensive motel, for the rooms come stocked with thick towels and Gilchrist & Soames toiletries. Williamsburg posters on the walls remind you where you are. My only complaint was that my heating and air-conditioning unit was a bit noisy. There's an outdoor pool for cooling off. It's on the northwestern edge of the Historic Area near the Transportation Center, which means that trains come by during the night. On the other hand, you can walk from here to everything in the Historic District.

Facilities:
Access to health club at Williamsburg Woodlands; pool

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
