Top Charlottesville Hotel Reviews

Oakhurst Inn at the University

10/10 Excellent

"You get a free drink voucher. I recommend using it at the Inn's bar. The Inn has a lovely lounge and bar. The Inn attendants were both the loveliest of people; having to man a lot on their own.The baristas at the Cafe affiliated with the lnn completely ruined my (this has been a perfect stay) vibe; they may have just been having an off day though. Just know exactly what you want when you walk in and don't speak to them again after your order has been placed. Then I suppose things will go better. Other than that I'm sure you will have a lovely stay."
