My stay at the Griffin Hotel was a mix of positive experiences and notable drawbacks. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and the hotel has a nice natural setting with beautiful views. However, the lack of on-site service and limited breakfast options left a lot to be desired. Overall, while there were some enjoyable aspects, it could be improved in several key areas.

The rooms are large and comfortable, featuring separate sink areas, which is a nice touch, but there are some downsides like noise from neighboring rooms.

The breakfast was quite disappointing, essentially consisting of just snacks and basic items, which did not meet expectations for a hotel stay.

The hotel has made recent investments in upgrades, and while it shows, the lack of essential on-site facilities detracts from the overall experience.

I had a lovely stay at The Griffin, enjoying the spacious room and beautiful surroundings, but the breakfast experience was a letdown. The room was clean and comfortable, but I encountered some issues with plumbing that detracted from my overall enjoyment. The lack of an actual continental breakfast as advertised was disappointing. Overall, I appreciated the serene atmosphere but expected more from the dining options.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! It was perfectly tucked away in a quiet and beautiful woodlands setting, but still just a short stroll from the heart of Colonial Williamsburg. My room was spacious and impeccably clean, which made for a very comfortable experience. The breakfast was simple but provided just enough to start the day. On the downside, while the maid service was excellent, the check-in process could have been more efficient. Overall, I highly recommend it for a peaceful getaway.
