Frequently Asked Questions
Are pets allowed at any of these Williamsburg hotels with pools?

Yes, but options are limited. #19 Country Inn & Suites by Radisson is the most pet-friendly pick with a $25-per-night fee. Wedmore Place (#11) allows pets on request with a $75-per-stay fee and limited pet-friendly units exist at Vacation Village (#1) — call ahead to confirm availability. The remaining 17 properties do not allow pets, so travelers with dogs should book early at the pet-friendly ones.

Which Williamsburg hotels with pools have indoor pools for year-round swimming?

Several properties offer indoor pools: Doubletree by Hilton (#9) has both indoor and outdoor pools; Holiday Inn Gateway (#12) features an indoor pool and hot tub; Patrick Henry Square (#13) has a heated indoor pool open year-round; Homewood Suites (#18) has an indoor pool; Holiday Inn Express North (#15) offers an indoor seasonal pool; and Embassy Suites (#16) has an indoor pool. For guaranteed year-round swimming, Patrick Henry Square or the Doubletree are your best bets.

What’s the best time to visit Williamsburg for pool use?

May through September is ideal for outdoor pool use — most seasonal outdoor pools open by Memorial Day and close after Labor Day. If you’re visiting in spring or fall, book a hotel with an indoor pool like Patrick Henry Square (#13), Doubletree (#9), or Holiday Inn Gateway (#12). July and August are peak season with high temperatures, making outdoor pools refreshing. Note that some outdoor pools may have limited hours or require advance booking for capacity management.

Which hotel has the most swimming pools?

Marriott’s Manor Club at Ford’s Colony (#8) has the most with three swimming pools, plus a hot tub. Comfort Suites Williamsburg Historic Area (#7) has two pools (indoor and outdoor) plus a hot tub. Patrick Henry Square (#13) also offers both indoor and outdoor pools. If you want maximum pool variety — including a golf course and movie theater — Marriott’s Manor Club is the clear winner.

How do I get from Richmond International Airport to Williamsburg?

Richmond International Airport (RIC) is about 37 miles from most Williamsburg hotels — roughly a 45-minute drive. Renting a car is the most practical option since many hotels offer free parking. Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft run about $50-$70 one way. There’s no direct train from the airport to Williamsburg, so a car gives you the most flexibility for visiting Colonial Williamsburg, Busch Gardens, and your hotel’s pool.

Do any of these hotels offer free cancellation?

Cancellation policies vary at every property on this list. Most hotels like Comfort Inn Gateway (#6), Comfort Suites (#7), and Doubletree (#9) have varied policies depending on the rate you book. Flexible rates typically allow free cancellation up to 24-48 hours before check-in, while prepaid rates are non-refundable. Always check the specific cancellation terms during booking — the option to filter by “free cancellation” on Booking.com helps narrow it down.
