Kings Creek Resort is the best fit in the area for a family or group that wants space to spread out. Rather than a conventional hotel tower, it is a collection of cottages, villas and townhomes in a landscaped complex, with 474 rooms in total, and almost every unit has a full kitchen with a full-size refrigerator and freezer, a dishwasher and a dining table. The one-bedroom cottages are about 426 square feet and sleep four, while the two-bedroom cottages and villas run to around 1,225 to 1,230 square feet and sleep six, with a king bed, a queen sofa bed and extra beds or a second queen. That makes it much easier to feed children, store groceries and keep a long stay affordable than in a standard hotel room. The resort is rated 9.0 out of 10 from about 350 guest reviews. It sits on the side of Williamsburg closest to the theme parks, with Water Country USA about a mile away on foot and Busch Gardens Williamsburg about 4.4 miles by car, and the Colonial National Historical Park road is under two miles away.
Location and getting around
The address is 191 Cottage Cove Lane, a short drive from the Colonial Parkway and from Jamestown. Busch Gardens is about a seven-minute drive, William and Mary about 11 minutes and the Williamsburg Premium Outlets about 12 minutes. Water Country USA is about 18 minutes on foot, which is a real advantage in the summer season. Parking is free, and the airport at Newport News is about 23 minutes away by car.
Rooms and facilities
Expect free in-room WiFi, air conditioning, pillowtop mattresses and cribs on request without charge. The resort has an indoor pool and two outdoor pools, two tennis courts, mini golf, a playground, an arcade and game room, a basketball area, a sauna, a steam room and a gym, plus a grocery and convenience store, barbecue grills and concierge services, including help with theme park tickets. Larger units give groups of two families plenty of room, and the full kitchen is a real saver for breakfasts.
Who it suits
Families with children, groups of friends and multi-generation trips, especially those combining Busch Gardens and Water Country USA with a day or two of history. Couples who want a quieter, more adult setting may prefer a conventional hotel. Good to know: check-in is from 4pm and check-out is at 10am, which is earlier than most hotels. Pets are not allowed. Free cancellation applies to selected rates, so check the policy for the rate you choose.
