Marriotts Manor Club at Fords Colony, Williamsburg

Just got home and already want to go back. The accommodations and location are excellent. There were 4 people in our group and we had plenty of room. Lots to do for families like all day activities and even a movie theater with several viewings a day. The surroundings were beautiful and so close to many activities. I can't say enough good about this resort. It is a winner for sure.

Our family spent one week during the July 4th holiday at the Manor Club at Fords Colony. The rooms were clean, roomy, and nicely decorated. Weather was lovely. We took an open carriage ride around Williamsburg and enjoyed the show by the locals in period dress.The boys even made "bricks". A side day trip to the Yorktown beach was pleasant and not crowded in the early afternoon hours. We also enjoyed Southern Living model homes and biked daily around the resort for a small fee. Tennis courts, & a large swimming pool kept the boys busy when we were too tired to take another step. If you love history, you will enjoy this place...and Marriott makes it all the more enjoyable.

I initially decided to stay at this hotel based on the location, as Ford's Colony has a reputation for being a top notch community. I have to say that I was quite impressed with the accomodations overall. The only negative I found was that the hot tub adjacent to the building we stayed in was not ready for use. However, I was told that the hot tub in the main building was open for use. The facilities were clean and nicely decorated, and the "adjacent construction" was quite a distance from the property, and did not take away from the great experience I had while there. They also provide free wireless internet, which was a nice perk that I was not aware of when I made the reservations. Overall I was quite impressed and would gladly stay there again.

We've been going here every Fall for over 10 years. Outstanding Marriott service. Beautiful location. Roomy accommodations. Fine dining on site (Ford's Colony Dining Room) Charming lounge (The Grill) on site also. Secluded, yet very close to every outlet you could ever imagine! The only timeshare company I know which will resell your timeshare for you - at a profit! Worth the trip - you won't regret it! Next week I'm taking my little grandchildren there - might as well introduce them to Ford's Colony at an early age! :-)

We loved this place! We took 2 family members 3 years ago- they loved it too! Nice place to rest after touring Colonial Williamsburg each day. Good walking area around the hotel as well. Very spacious and clean looking.

There are two sections of this timeshare - the original secion near the office and the Sequel section across the road where the large pool is found. The Sequel section has hotel rooms and 1 bdrm suites and 2 bdrm suites. The original section has only 2 bdrm suites. I prefer the original section as it looks more 'Virginian' in design while Sequel looks more like a condo and is much noisier from floor to floor. Very quiet at night - except for the birds, etc. in the trees outside your screened balcony. Free WIFI and local phone calls. Manor Club is in the middle of Ford's Colony Golf Course - 54 holes - and surrounded by million dollar homes. Very nice area and a great drive into the Marriott albeit a little confusing to find. The fancy dining room at the golf course is closed now so there's only a grill room for steaks - it's just OK. But the chef left the fancy place and it never recovered. Shoppers will love Williamsburg - it must have more outlet malls than I've ever seen before, everywhere you turn especially on Richmond Road nearby. There aren't a lot of fine restaurants around, but some interesting ones. Lots to do and see - history sights, Busch Gardens, Waterworld, Jamestown, neat shops in old town, and take a free ferry to Scotland across the James river. This place can get very very hot and humid in summer -- much better in the spring, sometimes in the fall as long as you don't go when there are remnants of a hurricane.

We have owned @ Ford's Colony for many years. We find its location, amenities, service to be outstanding. The staff do everything they can to make each visit as memorable as possible!

With 3 teenage boys it's hard to find a room with enough room, but the 2 bedroom villa was perfect! The room was very clean and well equipped. The grounds were just beautiful and well kept. The pools were very clean. No matter were you wanted to go, it was only a short drive. We had room service every morning. The big highlight for me was the store in the main building, it had everything I had forgot! It was nice to be able to purchace eggs an bread to make breakfast. The boys never complained.(that was a blessing in its self) We have all agreed that we would definitely stay again!

I loved it there. The location is colse to Busch Gardens and Water Country USA as well as coloniel Williamsburg, Jamestown Settlement, and Yorktown. The room we stayed in was larger than we thought and we got the smallest kind of room there. There were two full bedrooms with 2 large beds in each. There is a very nice kitchenette bigger than most people's kitchens at their homes. There is a pull-out couch, a deck (porch), and a nice TV (3 of them actually). There are 6 rooms in all, the kitchen, the two bathrooms, the living room (family room, den), and the two bedrooms. It's worth the stay here. A pool is located near the enterence and another somewhere else. The pools are very clean and they also have a game room, and indoor pool, and hot tubs. Pirates Golf mini_golf is also close and fun. It is a sophisticated family place. Awesome!

We stayed here one night and one day with my cousin who has a time share. Wow, nice big neat two bedroom suites with a kitchen. The grounds are very nicely kept up and a swimming pool that stays open which was great for the kids. There is a lot to do there including golf, BBQing around the pool, activities include dancing to live music and other planned events. There is even a restaurant and small grocery store. The only drawback for us is it's located 20-30 minutes from Colonial Williamsburg. If you already live in Virginia and can see Colonial Williamsburg whenever you want, this would be a nice place to stay. i don't know about the price since we were quests, but i can imagine it's pricey.
