Magnolia Manor Bed & Breakfast — Hotel in Williamsburg

My husband and I went on a rare get away, I have always loved Williamsburg and we have been there many times over the years with the kids and now without them as they are all grown now. I looked online and found Magnolia Manor B&B, the price was good and reading reviews from different guests made it seem like a perfect place to stay. Booking was fast and easy, the trip from Baltimore took 6 hours because of traffic in Virginia and into DC, and we finally got there around 4:15. Scott was not there but he had left an email telling when he would be there. It was really hot that day and we had been sitting outside in the heat for an hour when he finally arrived, he said he had taken his kids to a soccer game and apologized for being late. He gave us the key to the room and told us where it was, happened to be on the third floor. We had luggage and my husband has bad knees so the climb to the 3rd floor was rough, and it was hot inside the place. I managed to catch Scott as he was leaving and asked if there was another room we could have that was closer to the first floor, his answer was yes but those rooms were reserved in advance for "special" guests. The room itself was okay, decent size, bathroom with jacuzzi tub looked like it was lost in the 1970's there was some kind of storage area in the bathroom and since the room was in what was probably the attic at one time, the wifi sucked, I took my fire stick to watch tv on and could not even connect to the wifi, there were no toiletries in the bathroom other than a half used bottle of hand soap, towels were old and clean but stained. The a/c which came on and off constantly did little to cool the room. On to breakfast.... Scott explained the time and what the menu for breakfast was and I told him I have Crohn's disease and cannot eat a lot of foods, I asked if there was an alternative and he said no.. No toast, bagels nothing for those of us who cannot eat what he cooked. 4 miserable days and nights the morning we were to check out , Scott was there and spent the entire time at a table with guests that obviously were on the "special guests" list... Scott looked up only to remind us to sign the guest book and leave a nice review for our stay... All I can say is never again... Ill stick with...

It was nice. The inn is clean, and well maintained. The host is informative and friendly. The room we were in was relaxing with nice furnishings and a comfortable bed. A small fridge kept drinks ice cold. The not so nice. We were on the third floor and it was rather hot, the ac worked but the room was sometimes uncomfortable especially when the ac cycled off. Being on the third floor was rough with my husband having bad knees, but we managed just fine. I would love to return again maybe during Fall or early Winter. Williamsburg is always a favorite place of mine, from vacations with our kids when they were young to a get away just my husband and me. Oh and the wifi going to the third floor was pretty spotty, thankfully I have an iPad and unlimited internet so I was able to enjoy my favorite shows on my iPad, when my husband was watching the tv.. The cable service is all the channels you could want and that was a plus... All in all it was a nice get away that was very much needed. There are game tables and lots of books and some board games for...

My husband and I stayed 5 nights in the Governors Suite. We were amazed how big and beautiful it was with a separate living room and very large bathroom. We were celebrating our 40th anniversary and couldn’t have picked a more perfect place. Our hosts, Scott and Jennifer, were very gracious. The breakfasts were amazing. Scott is an exceptional cook serving us hot breakfasts on time and the food was absolutely delicious. Scott was very helpful in directing us to special places and we were within walking distance of the Williamsburg Colony where we spent two days. Short drive to visit Jamestown and also Yorktown. Needless to say we had a very memorable stay at Magnolia Manor and seeing the sights. We will definetly recommend this place to others and whenever we go thru the area again we will definetly make...
