My spouse and I just returned from a two-night stay in the Brick Tavern. We loved the convenience of being right on the street where we could walk to everything in the village. The building was most likely constructed in the 1930s and you will not be staying in a luxury room! We were on the third floor (which I liked) and the shower is in the dormer. I am 5'4" and could just barely stand up in the middle of the shower. I cannot imagine a person over six feet tall would be comfortable in that shower. If you're tall, I would suggest you request a lower floor. I also would not plan on staying in that small space with someone you are not intimately comfortable with! The tub is also quite old and if you are concerned about appearances, this may not be the choice for you. The accommodations are "well-worn". We found it quaint and enjoyed being close to all of the beautiful structures. We were only able to eat at one restaurant on property- Shields Tavern- during our stay, but it was lovely and would highly recommend.

Loved the location , but there’s a list of bad things. 1. No switch to turn on and off the bathroom lights. 2. Bathroom was very cold. 3. Black mold at bottom of tiles. 4. Dark baseboard was dirty on top. 5. Carpet was gross. 6. When the light came across the wall mirror, you could see the coating of dust.

Multiple colonial houses line the Duke of Gloucester street in Colonial Williamsburg…they are perfect for location…yet true to “colonial” in that design of house limits full size showers and smaller rooms overall…at least at the Brick House Tavern house which has 18 total rooms. Still a memorable trip!

Except for an issue with the heat, all was welcoming and comfortable. The food was great. The only issue that I consider major is the price difference between the Colonial Williamsburg Hotel and Hotel.com. I was required to pay an additional amount of $74.95 more than Hotels.com quoted. I feel this amount should be refunded to insure Hotels.com remains a go to travel site in the future.
