"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

Boar's Head Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent resort. We enjoyed everything here. The rooms are nice, the property is excellent., and location was just perfect. We will stay here again when visiting Charlottesville"

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Charlottesville

10/10 Excellent

"There was a man at the reception. When I asked him where he was from he said he was from very far from home. He was so gentle , extremely patient, gave us great restaurant suggestions. He made us feel like we were also at home or with family. The room was great! It was clean. He really stood out in his exceptional service. I just wish I could remember his name."

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 But if you can get past that and the kind of outdated look of the exterior, the rooms themselves are very modernized and comfortable.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."
