We will attempt to rebook your room should this happen and if we successfully rebook your entire stay, we will provide you with credit for a future stay. There are exceptions to this policy so please see our full disclosure under “policies” on our website. We cannot make exceptions to this policy, and we therefore suggest purchasing trip insurance.

Having a vehicle certainly makes it a bit easier. You can walk down the street to Merchant Square and the Colonial Williamsburg Historic Area but if you plan to visit other attractions you will need transportation. We do have taxis and Uber’s in Williamsburg so if you prefer to “leave the driving to someone else” that is always an option.
