"I made this booking at the very last minute. The room was lovely and is ideal for accessing Skyline Drive and the Blue Ridge Parkway as well as the wineries in Nelson County. Bed was comfy, bathroom good, and had a microwave and fridge. There is no on site staff, which would not have been a problem except I booked very very last minute. Contacted the hotel via hotels.com and email to get my room code. That process took 2 hours or so which was reasonable. Only issues during the stay were that...

Top Charlottesville Hotel Reviews

Omni Charlottesville Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent Service"

Oakhurst Inn at the University

10/10 Excellent

"The Oakhurst Inn is a beautiful, immaculate hotel right in the heart of Charlottesville. The Inn is comprised of a few different buildings, each with a handful of different units. We were greeted warmly at the front desk and told we had been upgraded to a larger, more centrally located room. Our room was very spacious, with a giant bathroom and trendy but cute decor. We did not have time to visit the outdoor pool, but were told it was open 24 hours! We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone visiting Charlottesville. Very reasonable pricing considering the high quality experience!"

Comfort Inn & Suites Charlottesville Hollymead Town Center

10/10 Excellent

"The trip was very enjoyable. The hotel front desk staff were warm, attentive, and very accommodating. The hotel had excellent facilities, a pleasant and elegant surrounding environment, and the breakfast was delicious and suited our tastes very"

Days Inn by Wyndham Charlottesville/University Area

8/10 Good

"You cannot judge this hotel by its cover. There is no elevator, just stairs, steep ones. But if you can get past that and the kind of outdated look of the exterior, the rooms themselves are very modernized and comfortable. My only complaint is the curtains do not cover the windows sufficiently--I thought it was broad daylight at 3 a.m. But for the price, it is a good place to stay if you don't need fancy."
