It just felt like it was being run by university students as part of the curriculum and missed the professionalism of a
Pros:

The overall look was lovely and like the concept of loads of little apartments in site

Cons:

When we arrived there were a few things happening out in the street and in the reception area at same time, there was only one staff member on the desk with a trainee (2nd day in the job), so check- in all felt a bit rushed.
We were allocated a room above the cafe so had to drive back out of the complex and around the block to get to our building, which meant we had to park in an undesignated area to unload our car - valet parking took a while to move the car from an area that we should not have been parked in.
Access to the room was through the (then) closed cafe - the stairs leading up to the room from the cafe were very narrow for a car load of luggage!
I had also contacted the hotel back in April to request a bottle of champagne to be in the room on arrival - my husband and I were celebrating our 25 wedding anniversary - I had received confirmation that this would be arranged - it was not which was disappointing.
We were also woken just before 7am the next morning by the cafe staff setting up to open that morning!

Pros:

Excellent location! Very friendly, helpful staff. The rooms were stylishly decorated. The property layout was beautiful with views of multi-level architectural features. The rooms were spotless despite being old buildings.

Cons:

It was somewhat loud from traffic but expected in the city.

WORST HOTEL EXPERIENCE AND SERVICE IN 40 YEARS
Cons:

At the time of booking, we requested a baby crib and the hotel confirmed that one would be provided.

We arrived at the hotel late at night with our baby asleep, and when we entered the room there was no crib installed. Instead, they showed us a baby walker toy and told us that was the crib. They also told us that Housekeeping had supposedly taken care of setting it up.

That same night, they assured us the issue would be resolved, but not only did they fail to do so, when we later spoke with the assistant manager she claimed that I had sent the request through Booking.com and that they do not see those messages. As a result, I had to sleep on the floor so that my baby could sleep safely in the bed.

The following day, the hotel manager called us to admit that they had in fact received our message, but that they had run out of cribs. They went out to buy one that same day and left it in our room still inside the box, expecting us to assemble it ourselves.

Our compensation for the inconvenience: a $40 breakfast credit.

Room rate: US$1,200 per night.

This was the worst hotel experience of my life — and I have been traveling for 40 years and work in the hotel industry myself.

Is this quirky or luxury? It's hard to say it's not both. Loved my stay but could be finished better
Pros:

Pool area and bar. Those were really cool. My bathroom was amazing.

Cons:

Room was cramped and didn't have a closet. Also, the check in area seemed really odd - like it was just thrown together. Needs to be more finished.

Great Location
Pros:

The location was very nice. The check in process and the valet were great and efficient. The bartender was very nice and made very good drinks. The room had enough room for two. The the bathroom and the shower was spacious.

Cons:

The bed wasn't all that comfortable. It was a matress on slats without a box spring. The floor to the room creaked which was expected in an old building. People in the other rooms could be heard and people walking up and down the halls could be heard easily.

A beautiful, well-located boutique stay that feels refined, welcoming, and worth every minute.
Pros:

We absolutely loved our stay at Oakhurst. The property is beautiful, quiet without feeling sleepy, and incredibly well maintained. The café is outstanding, and the rooms are comfortable, thoughtfully designed, and well appointed. The location is perfect, an easy walk to UVA grounds. Valet parking was seamless and convenient. The décor strikes a perfect balance of stylish and inviting, and the staff was genuinely warm and welcoming. The pool and sauna were fantastic touches. Overall, it delivers an elevated, boutique feel at a great value and feels effortlessly refined without being over the top.

Cons:

Honestly, very little. If anything, just wish we had more time to enjoy everything the property offers.
