It's so low-key. I didn't know there was a hotel here for so many years... You have to take the stairs to the second floor to reach your room. The bed in the room is not queen size, but full size which is slightly smaller than queen size... There are not enough sockets at the bedside. Coffee, yogurt, milk, eggs, etc. in the public area can be picked up 24 hours a day. All other services are still available. The location is very good, suitable for tourists without a car. It is walking distance from the College of William and Mary and Colonial Williamsburg, but overall combined with the price, I think it is not worth it.

This was our second stay here and it was just as good as we remembered. The whole place is spotless and well kept up. If you have ever stayed here it is difficult to find. When you turn on the street look to your left for the sign that is over the entrance door. The young woman working in the office was very helpful and friendly as well.

Wonderful accommodations – wonderful location – wonderful experience! We stayed in the cedars suite which was so perfect for our Williamsburg stay. We appreciated the access to coffee and tea and basic breakfast items along with snacks throughout our stay . Location was perfect for sightseeing and access to local restaurants and very quiet . I would stay here again and highly recommend it to others, considering Williamsburg .

We stayed one night while visiting the College of William & Mary, and this inn was perfect. It’s within walking distance of both the college and the colonial area—so charming and full of character, definitely not your typical chain hotel. Just a heads-up: there’s a steep staircase to reach the rooms, but parking is super convenient. We stayed in the Restoration Room, which was lovely, decorated with colonial toys, antiques, and framed vintage postcards that added to the charm. The room had two beds (a double and a twin), a cozy alcove for reading, and even a balcony through the back door. We always bring our weighted blankets, as the beds have light sheets and bedspreads, even in January. It was quiet and clean. Coffee, tea, and hot chocolate were available in the breakfast room, and breakfast was simple—a light continental spread, just enough to start the day. We’d love to come back!

We arrived on the polar vortex, and walked around Colonial Williamsburg in a freezing rain. The best part of our stay was that we were fortunate to have a hot bath in the room. (And comfy bed). Bonus: the best restaurant: Blue Talon Bistro is right across the street! Our late arrival was conveniently accommodated with keys posted outside.

The location can't be beat. The Inn is immaculate, well appointed, and the bed comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet and yet close to everything. We appreciated the decor and information the Scruggs provide on the local history and nearby restaurants. It was a wonderful experience, and we are already planning a return trip.

A++! This was our first visit to Williamsburg, and the Fife and Drum exceeded our expectations. The parking garage is located just steps away. Staff members were extremely friendly and helpful. We stayed in the suite which was spacious and clean (like the rest of the building) and simply but beautifully decorated. The bathroom linens were thick and plentiful, and they were presented all wrapped up with a bow (very nice touch!). The shower had a seat in it and plenty of shampoo, conditioner, and soap mounted on the wall (so convenient!). There was a nice tv, easy WiFi access, and several ports to charge your devices. The breakfast room was tastefully decorated with plenty of options for a hearty, convenient breakfast (and tasty cookies to go). All of these little touches made the stay feel comfy, homey, and easy. The building is conveniently located to some great restaurants, coffee, ice cream, and other shops, and just a block or two over from the colonial experience. Bring good walking shoes because there's so much to see right out the door. My only complaint was that we didn't spend enough time visiting, and there's so much more we want to see. I was sad to leave, but I guess that just means we'll have to visit again someday.

This was our second stay at the Fife and drum Inn. It was lovely as last time. The rooms are clean and spacious. There’s a continental breakfast available and snacks as well as water, tea, coffee, coco throughout the day. It is located in a prime location and it’s easy to access colonial Williamsburg. Everything seems to be within walking distance, we look forward to next year. Grand illumination was absolutely spectacular and something I highly recommend. We look forward to our next stay.
