Courtyard by Marriott Williamsburg Busch Gardens Area
Two pools and an on-site restaurant near Busch Gardens
About this hotel
Two pools plus a hot tub is the standout here, giving a family more room to spread out than the typical single-pool hotel, especially useful when several groups are all trying to cool off after an afternoon of slides. The on-site American restaurant means dinner doesn't require another car trip on a day when everyone's already exhausted, and it sits seven minutes by taxi from Colonial Williamsburg for the inevitable history-day detour. A three-minute walk reaches The Whaling Company for a change of pace. Free Wi-Fi and free parking are standard, and the fitness center covers a quick workout before the kids wake up. It closes on flexibility: two pools mean nobody's waiting their turn.

Our take
A strong fit for families who want a second pool and a hot tub without booking a full resort, plus the convenience of eating on-site after a long day. The fitness center is a bonus for parents keeping a routine while traveling. It works less well if you're prioritizing walking distance to the historic district over pool space and on-site dining.
- ✓Use the hot tub in the evening once the main pool empties out for a quieter soak.
- ✓Eat at the on-site restaurant at least once to skip a car trip on your most tired night.
- ✓Book early for the two-pool setup in peak summer — it's the property's biggest draw.

Why guests love itTwo pools turned out to be the real win — with three kids wanting to swim at different times of day, we never once had to wait or share with a crowd. The on-site restaurant saved us on our most tired evening after a full water-park day. Rooms were modern and comfortable, nothing fancy but everything worked. Seven minutes to Colonial Williamsburg was close enough that we didn't feel like we were missing out on the history side of the trip.
