Governors Inn

Governor's Inn - A Colonial Williamsburg Hotel puts you within a 15-minute drive of Busch Gardens Williamsburg and Governor's Palace. Guests can hang out at the outdoor pool or seasonal outdoor pool, and free perks include continental breakfast, WiFi, and self parking. Also, this hotel is within a short drive of Water Country USA.

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...

Located on the west side of North Henry Street, and a little closer to the historic action than Woodlands, Governor's Inn is the bargain hotel of the bunch. With its 200 plain, serviceable rooms and its outdoor swimming pool (guests may also use the indoor one at Woodlands), it's really a good deal—even if it's not the most exciting choice.

Closed January and February.
