As our trip goal was to visit Colonial Williamsburg, and not a "relax by the pool" type vacation, we were not looking for many amenities, or cared if they were offered. So, out point of view is biased. That said, the place was perfectly suitable for our needs. Clean, quite, close to the center of our activities, comfortable, spacious, and, when considering our hotel/breakfast/entry tickets deal -- reasonably priced.

LOve this place. It was very quiet, huge rooms. @ vanities spotless. Staff was great & very friendly. Room was well appointed & location cant be beat. Easy walk to the Inn's & Lodge restaurants. Definetly stay here if you can.

My wife and I stayed at PH for 5 nights. Although our room was very spacious and nicely furnished, the building and common parts have a 1970s feel and surprisingly PH lacks an elevator.
The big benefit is being close to the Inn, and its facilities, and our package included breakfast at the Inn's restaurant which was a delight.
Staff were very friendly and efficient.
Although the historic district is close enough to walk to, there are no nearby restaurants, other than that at the Inn. We enjoy walking to/from dinner but it was a struggle at Providence Hall.
The historic area, PH, the Inn and Merchants Square seemed very quiet, even for September and there has to be a message here.

I graduated from The College of William & Mary, and despite living in Williamsburg throughout college, and numerous trips back since, I never knew this hotel was there. Nestled about a walking block to the east of The Williamsburg Inn is Providence Hall Guesthouse/Hotel.

These accommodations are not as luxurious as the Inn, but are certainly well kept, maintained. The rooms are much larger than the average hotel room, each one with a balcony overlooking either the pond or the tennis courts. They have king beds with typically uncomfortable queen sleeper sofas. I was traveling with two girlfriends, so one of us was relegated to the sleeper each night-- it was not a great night's sleep! On a bright note, there is a safe AND a mini-refrigerator in the closet, and the vanity area between the bedroom and bathroom is sizable. Williamsburg is a humid, buggy place in the summer, and I was concerned with its proximity to the woods, if we'd find some in our room. There wasn't as much as a stray ladybug!

One thing I was not prepared for was the lack of an elevator. I don't know if one is available, based on needs, but it wasn't visible from our entrance. We walked up two full flights of stairs to our floor each time we came/left.

We had access to the pools at The Williamsburg Inn, which were glorious. There is a "Quiet Pool," a "Family Pool," and an indoor lap pool and hot tub. These are close to each other and share access to locker rooms with showers and a snack & beverage bar with exceptionally good food (from the golf course grille). Towels are plentiful and large, finding lounge chairs was not a problem, even on a sunny Saturday in August.

Free wi-fi is a nice touch-- most premium hotels charge a daily fee and Colonial Williamsburg does not. We stayed for a AAA rate of $259 per night + tax. You can certainly find hotels for much less in Williamsburg, but if you're looking for the finer touches of the Williamsburg Inn, a great location at a decent price, Providence Hall is for you!
