Across the street from the College of William and Mary and two blocks from the historic area, this hotel is a prime site for conferences and reunions, so you won't be the only one standing under the crystal chandelier in the lobby. Guest rooms are furnished in styles ranging from 18th century to art deco; all have hair dryers, irons, ironing boards, and in-room coffeemakers. The large poolside patio is very inviting after a day exploring the Historic Triangle. Pros: two blocks from the historic district; handicapped accessible with elevator. Cons: can be busy as the site of conferences and conventions.
