  : Woodlands is a nice hotel – especially for kids. Lots of room to run, activities for kids every day (trivia contests, crafts, magician, etc) The grounds are huge, nice for a stroll, and the visitor’s center is a good introduction to Old Williamsburg. (It was pouring rain the days we were there and we didn’t take advantage of any tours.) The rooms and the hotel itself are squeaky clean with a nice lobby area for relaxing. Amazingly we had housekeeping staff clean our room every day, make the beds, leave clean towels, something often not happening today in the large chains. The breakfast is the usual hotel fare with a nice assortment of choices. Note: the usual scrambled eggs/sausage/bacon option was combined into McMuffin style sandwiches with pancakes or English muffins for the bread. The best part of our stay was Jennifer at the front desk. She was efficient and helpful as we needed to relocate our walker-using, elderly grandmother to a room closer to the entrance.
  : The dining area is a drawback as it isn’t large enough to accommodate the large number of vacationers. People were searching for tables constantly, including any available table space in the lobby, while lots of folks seemed to be doing “carryout” to their rooms. My criticism is that this hotel is so large it is not really friendly to older folks who aren’t in shape to handle the 200-300 steps that it might take to get to your room, to the dining area, out the door, etc. In my opinion, anyone requiring a walker should consider finding a room somewhere else. Plus the layout is confusing and I and others I met in the halls were constantly getting turned around trying to find our room, the lobby, the door to our parking lot, etc.
