Exceptional!
Pros:

The facility is beautiful and clean. I loved the garden. My room was very comfortable and I loved everything about it. It’s on UVA campus, right next to Darden.

Beautiful building in peaceful setting
Pros:

Beautiful building and setting. The outdoor gardens and outdoor seating areas were so relaxing. Liked the noon check out time.

Cons:

Bar closed right after we arrived. Despite the fact that we had not checked out, housekeeping was knocking on our door at 8 am and woke us up. Was not happy about that for many reasons. When paying over $400 for one night I expect to not be disturbed at 8 am after driving in the car all day the day prior.

Pros:

Property was great, very nice building, facilities and super clean.

Cons:

I just didn’t like that they forgot to give me a pack and play after they confirmed it before my stay. Also, they were nice by offering me a free late check out due to the incident, but now I see a charge in my credit card. Messaged them through booking but haven’t heard back from them.
