This was our first time staying at Woodlands as my husband and I have been "trying out" the accommodations at Colonial Williamsburg. This is definitely a family and dog friendly hotel. One small issue for us was the location from Duke of Gloucester. The Woodlands is conveniently located next to the Visitor's Center, but is about a 10 minute walk from the historic sites. This isnt necessarily bad unless you like to enjoy dinner at one of the restaurants. The new shuttle schedule doesn’t run as late as it used to, so we ended up driving out for dinner. We also weren't too impressed with the breakfast, so we ended up grabbing breakfast elsewhere. The king suite was lovely as we enjoyed having a separate living area from the bedroom. Overall it was a nice stay, but we will probably go back to The Williamsburg Lodge or the Colonial Houses.
