Brick House Inn

I stayed two nights, for W & M Family Weekend. My room was cute, VERY clean and neat, quite and convenient to Colonial Williamsburg and William and Mary. And the breakfast?? WOW! William the Breakfast Man is fantastic, charming, funny and full of information about almost anything you could ever think to ask about Williamsburg. During breakfast on my first morning there, he checked with all of the guests, and planned the next morning's breakfast, based on what we liked and thought sounded good. He's terrific. How serious am I about this review? I am about to make a reservation for later this week.

This is an excellent option for a quiet, cute place to stay within a short walk to the historic area. The rooms are all with keeping of the colonial Virginia theme. It definitely sets the mood. Our host, William was an excellent host. He took our breakfast preference and was an outstanding cook. He was outstanding and professional. He was also full of information about the area's restaurants and attractions. I have stayed in several B&B's around and this was by far on the top of the list! Thanks Brickhouse Inn!!

We chose to stay in the Washington room for our 5th wedding anniversary. While the room was cute, clean, and conveniently close to the downtown area, the experience was lacking and we feel we ultimately would have gotten more bang for our buck at a hotel. For starters, many of the amenities promised on the booking website were either missing or haphazardly thrown together. No one was present to greet us when we arrived, and we instead found our key in an envelope taped to the front door with a note indicating when breakfast was and an emergency contact. The booking implied breakfast would be more flexible and even available for in room eating. Breakfast was reheated store-bought quiche and muffins, which the hostess couldn't even identify the flavors of when asked. The hostess in question was only in the house long enough to heat the food and left before my husband came out of the room 10 minutes after breakfast was served. Apparently the house is for sale, and it appears the real estate agent is poorly attempting to continue the business while the house is on the market. The online listing indicates the room we stayed in is currently being rented for a monthly rate of 3 times what we paid for one night. We recommend looking elsewhere if you want the B&B experience with a good, filling breakfast.
