The Fife and Drum Inn consistently receives excellent reviews, praised for its charming colonial décor, prime location near Colonial Williamsburg and Market Square, and friendly, accommodating staff. Guests highlight the comfortable rooms, delectable continental breakfast, and convenient amenities like tea and cookies. While some mention the lack of an elevator, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive.
I would stay here again. Very clean and well decorated. Breakfast met our needs perfectly. Amazing location. Ashely was helpful, accommodating, and extremely friendly. Slept well and no noise issues.
Such a cute place! I love that they stayed true to the history of the building. The breakfast in the morning had lots of options and we enjoyed the outdoor patio to eat at. Would highly recommend staying here and would love to come back one day!
Great little hidden secret! We have been going to Colonial Williamsburg for a decade and never noticed this quaint little inn. It was immaculately clean, welcoming and had a wonderful continental breakfast. In past visits, it has been hard to find good breakfast options without a long wait. A good find!
Excellent location for visiting colonial Williamsburg. Room was on the corner, very quiet and decorated with historical memorabilia. Staff was friendly and attentive to our every need and provide a very filling continental breakfast assortment. They have a gazebo on their outside deck that was where I spent quite a bit of time reading and enjoying some of their different tea offerings with large cookies.
The location is perfect, within 3 blocks of Colonial Williamsburg, Market Square and William&Mary. The Inn was very clean and decorated to reflect the colonial period. Staff were friendly, helpful and engaging. They were more than happy to assist with area recommendations and provide any extra amenities requested. The roof top porch was an extra treat providing the perfect place to rest and recover. Would definitely return!
I cannot say anything negative about the Fife and Drum Inn. There is excellent, hot water pressure, clean rooms, comfy bed, friendly staff, and the location cannot get anymore prime. I appreciated the continental breakfast, beverages and snacks to take as you please, the variety of teas for those cold mornings, and the well maintained terrace, which is perfect for a to-go dessert after dinner. I want to see Williamsburg in the autumn, and I would definitely stay here again.
The room was quaint and comfortable. The service was warm and exceptional. The location could not be beat! 10 out of 10 would stay again.
My husband and I had a wonderful and relaxing stay at the inn this past weekend! The accommodations were so charming; we stayed in the Conservancy room, and it was such a treat to enjoy a bath in the claw foot tub…we loved the location, it was so easy to check in and out, and it was a unique way to enjoy our time in Williamsburg for this visit. We would definitely stay here again!
Love this place everything was amazing from decor, rooms, staff and location. Ashley is such a wonderful person, helped with all of our questions so nice to talk with. The Fife and Drum Inn feels like home. Can’t wait to visit again. I’ve been telling all friends and family about the Fife and Drum Inn
I was pretty disappointed with my stay at the Fife and Drum Inn. It's a decent location (probably the best you can get if you're on vacation to see colonial Williamsburg) and the rooms are nice enough, though a little creaky. Unfortunately, I found the hospitality offered by this hotel is incredibly lacking. This does not feel like a welcoming place, it feels like you're tip-toeing around the live-in host of a budget AirBnB. You will essentially never see the staff of this hotel for your entire visit, so there isn't really any way to ask questions or get help with anything. There's no front desk --- just a weird creepy office beside the breakfast area. When there is somebody in there they are always just on a computer and you approach them from the side so it always feels like you're interrupting something and not supposed to be there. It's unclear if this person is what Fife and Drum considers to be a receptionist or if it's the owner, or what. I found it incredibly awkward and uncomfortable eating breakfast in the dining area with this person lurking silently in the office. It just felt like I didn't belong there and was intruding. My room the first night was incredibly cold, and I was baffled why there wasn't a blanket available anywhere. I eventually found a blanket in a drawer the next day, but it would have been nice to have some indication that this existed, maybe that should be indicated on the welcome sheet. This hotel does not have house keeping come by until after your visit, I believe you can request it, but it feels difficult to do so. There is only rarely a staff member at the hotel hidden in the weird and creepy office. Approaching this person is awkward, and it's unclear to me if they're supposed to be the receptionist or what. I don't know if you can talk to them, and it's very unwelcoming. I believe there is a phone number you can call, but again, this does not make me feel like a welcome guest, it makes me feel like I have to be a bother to get any basic amenities like fresh towels. It just feels like a cost cutting measure, which was disappointing given the fact that there are much cheaper places to stay in town. Internet access was a concern for me, as I had to join some business meetings remotely during my stay. Unfortunately the internet connection in my room was unusable. The impression I get is that the entire hotel has a single access point in the office by the breakfast room --- this is not acceptable. The internet did not work in my room, but the hotel staff just thought everything was fine because it's fine within the main office area. They need to address this issue. Please look into having more wireless access points throughout the building. When I went to check out I was hoping that somebody would at least ask me how my stay was so I could bring up a few concerns or something... But completely unsurprisingly there wasn't even anybody in the creepy office, so I just left. I don't really feel like I stayed at a hotel, it felt like I didn't belong there. Overall I had a pretty unpleasant stay. The rooms were decent, but the place felt very unwelcoming, has really lacking breakfast options, and does not have working wifi in the rooms. It's frustrating because it seems like a nice building in a good area. The place has good bones, but I think the operators really need to work on their hospitality.
