Fairfield Inn Williamsburg, Virginia

Located on Richmond Road, the Fairfield Inn has an excellent location. Within about 5 minutes you can be in Colonial Williamsburg which is just a little over a mile away. It is equally convenient to Bypass Road and from there to the Colonial Parkway.

The hotel itself is big, it may be one of the biggest Fairfield Inns this writer has ever seen. It is two buildings that connect at the breakfast room and recreation area. One thing that is very good is that the breakfast room is appropriately sized for such a large hotel and can handle the number of customers it needs to even on the weekends.

The Fairfield Inn has regular rooms, studios and suites. The studio consists of two rooms, a parlor with a TV and a sleeper sofa and a bedroom with a TV and King bed but there is no door between so it may seem like dueling TVs at times. The suites include two bathrooms and two double beds and a sleeper sofa.

The room is spacious, in addition to the TV and sofa the living room has a desk, chair and coffee table. The bedroom is not as spacious but has a large closet and two nightstands. A bench serves as one suitcase holder and there is another suitcase rack in the closet which fits in the room on the window side of the TV stand.

Near the entrance to the room, are a small fridge, coffee pot and microwave.

The bathroom has a large granite counter top and a two-piece tub/shower. The shower pressure was very good and four large plush bath towels guarantee that you will not have a problem drying off.

The room was very clean and in good repair. Two large windows overlook the parking lot and the pizza restaurant across the way.

Breakfast is included and offers the usual items, yogurt, fruit juice, fresh fruit both cut up and whole, cold cereal and oatmeal, bread, bagels, muffins and Danish. Hot food is also offered scrambled eggs, bacon or sausage and make your own waffles. Cold boiled eggs are also offered. The coffee and tea bar is open 24/7 and has lots of good tea selections.

The gym is not large but offers several different machines. The pool area is quite nice as well. The pool is heated to 85 degrees and was very clean. The hot tub has no jets which are disappointing but it was pleasantly warm at 101 degrees.

The lobby has a new updated look and the staff, especially Kahlid, were so friendly and welcomed us as we came and went. We had a great 5-day stay and I feel very confidently highly recommending this location. The General Manager was very hands on and we got to know her long before we knew she was the general manager.

If you are going to Williamsburg, I highly recommend the Fairfield Inn for location, price and amenities.
