Wonderful hotel, quiet yet near everything
Pros:

Wonderful to read by the fire in the semiprivate lounge just outside our room. Nice staff, lovely clean room, location is a quiet enclave yet walking distance to UVA, restaurants, attractions. We loved it!

Peaceful comfort
Pros:

I only stayed one night, but I wish it had been more. The staff were friendly, room was great, and the atmosphere was cozy. The coffee shop was very good food and the baristas/servers were very nice. The amenities were also very well done and the bar area was a great place to relax and unwind. The only bad thing was that the bathroom door was a little broken but that wasn’t a problem.

Missed mark
Pros:

This place rubbed me wrong. It tries too hard and misses the mark by a mile. Upon arrival, I was overcharged for a weak, un-iced drink that was literally one sip, and that kind of set the tone for my stay. The room was freezing and they do not allow guests to manage the temperature, which made it feel cheap and overpriced. I kept feeling like it could have been so much nicer with a little effort, but it never achieved the boutique feel it was going for. I left with an overwhelming sense of disappointment for what it could be with better management. I would not stay again.

Location, Facilities, Friendliness, & Location
Pros:

The small complex of buildings that make up this hotel rests against the portion of the campus across from Cabell Hall. In about a six minute walk, I was on the Lawn. You can’t beat the location! It’s also a lovely hotel. Our room was large with a great bathroom with the biggest soaker tub I’ve ever seen. The main building is old, but very well renovated and kept up. The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the area. I would definitely stay here again..

A perfect stay in Charlottesville with a pup
Pros:

I stayed a single night at OakHurst Inn! The stay was absolutely lovely! The room was clean and extremely comfortable! I did bring my pup with me a large poodle who loved the outdoor sitting area and room! The inn is almost right on campus tons of students walk the path to get to classes and living quarters behind the inn. The truly nice thing about the inn is it almost feels remote from the city, several options to sit and relax in the green area. We were able to do a nice walk through the campus in the evening after visiting wineries and hiking the Saunders Monticello trail early that day.

We will def return!

Pros:

For the very high prices they charge for home football weekends (significantly higher than the Boar’s Head Resort) I would have expected a much higher quality room. The bed was not very comfortable and the furnishings were very tired and in need of repair. The staff was wonderful, but I will not ever return.

STAY HERE!!
Pros:

Absolutely stay here. I love Charlottesville, but even if I didn’t, I’d return just to stay at the Oakhurst again. The property itself is unique, cozy, and intimate - it feels like you’re staying at a friend’s house, if your friend was the best host ever. The back yard area is amazing, with the perfect sized pool (never had an issue finding a seat, there were usually only one or two groups out there at a time) and even a little personal sauna! The staff is some of the best I’ve ever encountered, from the bar staff (shoutout to my new best friend Derek) to the front desk to the delightful cafe staff - everyone goes out of their way to make your stay the best possible. The front desk staff even poured us drinks after the bartender had left for the night! There’s always self-serve coffee and water available, which was such a nice touch. I could go on and on. Truly a wonderful experience, thank you to everyone!
