COZY, the staff could not have been nicer and it was just so lovely

the property is so cute and cozy, it feels like you’re in a small little town away from the world but you’re actually close to everything

Lovely stay at historic property
Pros:

Charming Inn with comfortable bed and amazing views. Soaking tub was a plus with a lovely view of the pool area. Staff was friendly and attentive. Parking was not ideal, but plenty of restaurants within walking distance.

Cons:

Valet was basically them parking your vehicle on the street. Don't plan on using your car while you stay.

Great spot for relaxing and exploring Charlottesville
Pros:

Excellent location, friendly and helpful staff. Room was spacious. Liked the feeling of the hotel being more intimate than a larger chain hotel. Loved the pool and poolside drinks.

Cons:

Mandatory valet parking was annoying, especially since the cars are parked in a parking lot right on the property.

NO HAY APARCAMIENTO INCLUSO AUNQUE SE ANUNCIA COMO INCLUIDO.
Pros:

Las habitaciones están dentro de edificios que incluyen salones con decoración acogedora.

Cons:

Este hospedaje tiene un serio problema de aparcamiento. Aunque realizamos nuestra reserva donde se incluía que se disponía de parking para los clientes y que este estaba incluido, resulta que este es muy limitado y literalmente se nos negó por activa y por pasiva dejar el coche (incluso estando dispuesto a realizar un pago extra aunque debería estar incluido). Esto se añade a que en esa zona es imposible aparcar por lo que no había más remedio que ir al centro de la ciudad para dejar el coche y volver andando al hospedaje. Realmente me sentí estafado en este aspecto.

Geweldig!
Pros:

Geweldig hotel wat niet als een hotel aanvoelt, maar meer als een guesthouse. Wij hadden de juniorsuite, wat een klein appartement is met een keuken en zelfs een wasmachine en droger. De bedden liggen heerlijk. Super fijn zwembad en zeer aardig personeel. Tyler, de barmanager maakt heerlijke cocktails en is super aardig! Een aanrader om te verblijven als je in Charlottesville bent.

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!

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.
