Hilton Vacation Club The Historic Powhatan Williamsburg

Bring your kitchen scissors Overall this resort is fabulous,but there were a few things that detract from a 5 star review. First the positives. We had a 2 bedroom upstairs unit which was very clean and well appointed. The bed was very comfortable. The swimming pool area was very good. The adult only pool was wonderful. It was so nice to not to have children screaming and jumping in and splashing . The hot tub was great. We liked the security measures. Security was seen around the site and came when we had an issue with someone parking in the wrong spaces. The negatives were the front desk. When you have a long drive, it would be nice to see a friendly face when checking in. The staff were very aloof and check in seems interminable. A very weird thing was that there were no kitchen scissors. When we asked for them, we were told it is"policy" not to have them. We used knives instead! A magnifying mirror would be nice in the bathroom Another thing Hilton are missing out on was the strange opening hours of the cabana af the pool. No one seemed to know if it would open. On our last week, it opened on Sunday and then not again until Friday. The queues were huge showing how popular it could be if it actually opened more regularly. Powhatan plantation is very near to Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown. Monticello marketplace is about 5 mins drive away with supermarkets and other shops. Many restaurants were within 15 mins drive. All in all, a very good place to stay.

Cloud pools, drab rooms, and unpleasant stay As others have mentioned, convenient location with nice grounds. However, this is not a vacation club caliber resort. The rooms are incredibly outdated with the interior being very dark and drab. Gaps under the doors led to ants and spiders in the hotel room. The floor/ceiling is paper thin, and loud footsteps from neighbors kept us awake at night. We were also disappointed in the pools -the water was incredibly cloudy and there is a permanent sign warning you that the water may fade your swimsuit. I’d expect better from a Hilton property! Overall as another reviewer mentioned, it feels like the quality of a Motel 6. Very disappointing.

Family Vacation Overall good getaway. Enjoyed our stay. Looking forward to our next vacation time using Hilton Honors.

Summer Vacation The resort was well maintained, land scaping, pools, etc. We liked the security of the resort with someone always checking people entering the resort. Resort was close to Bush Gardens and Water country and shopping in the area. We had a great week and would return here again.

Property is clean and Safe The amenities are great there. Security and Staff was helpful when checking in. I also like that your family/friends could show up later and they will give them a parking pass
