Top Charlottesville Hotel Reviews

English Inn of Charlottesville

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay great price!"

Super 8 by Wyndham Charlottesville

8/10 Good

"If you are looking for inexpensive place to put your head down for a couple of days, this motel is perfect. It is reasonably clean (no citrusy aromas but no bugs either). The TV channels are very limited, especially if you’re a sports fan. The refrigerator was broken when we arrived but after notifying front desk, we received a working one within minutes. The refrigerators are outdated big time, however clean and functional. The microwave was very clean and in working order. The bathroom was immaculate, with a working hair dryer and necessary toiletries. The desk chair was broken and almost caused an accident. The windows need a good scrub, or even replacement, but I can’t imagine that there is enough money coming in for such a project. Most importantly, since we were here in the middle of the blistering season, the air conditioning worked perfectly and made the room a great relief to come back to. I can’t say enough about the staff. They are a family working together and they make you feel like you came to visit them at their own house. Their warm and helpful attitude made any hiccup’s inconsequential."
