What guests think

At Courtyard by Marriott Charlottesville - University Medical Center, travelers consistently praise the walkable location near UVA and the generally friendly staff, while noting recurring drawbacks like paid garage parking and areas that feel dated or need maintenance.

Room feedback is mixed: many find them comfortable and quiet, but others report aging bathrooms, firm or lumpy beds, AC struggles, and occasional street noise. Cleanliness ranges from very clean stays to lapses such as unvacuumed floors, unwashed linens, hair in bathrooms, and a filthy coffeemaker. On-site dining and coffee options earn praise, though breakfast is paid and some guests find choices limited; a few also cite billing discrepancies and confusing check-in experiences. Overall, expect a convenient base near UVA with variable room condition and service details to double-check.

We were there for one night, visiting UVA. The property is a convenient walk to the campus, has great eating options within walking distance. Parking is attached to the hotel with easy access to the floor with the rooms, it’s free and we were able to leave our car in the garage after checkout to finish our tour of the campus before leaving Charlottesville. Rooms are nice, clean and comfortable. They have a fitness center that is well equipped with new machines. Only complain for us was the bedsheets and pillows were crumpled, like someone had used them. The bed was properly made with the covers & comforter tucked tightly so we didn’t not realize what the sheets under looked like until we got ready to go to bed. Too late in the night to get them changed so we slept on them and reported it to the front desk at check out. They were apologetic about it and I assume had we called the previous night they would have sent house cleaning to change them. Overall was a pleasant stay.

Good hotel right in downtown. Good restaurant options within walking distance. Parking is $10 in the garage behind the hotel. Only issue was the entrance to the hotel is kinda hidden so I had to circle around a couple times.

The property rests in a nestled position off of a main area of the University's Medical Campus. It allows for quick access to there and to the Corner, where multiple shops are present. It is also within walking distance of the Rotunda and the lawn of UVA. The staff were pleasant and helpful and the process of registration was straightforward. Parking was convenient if a little odd (we were on the fourth floor and there was not access from the garage to the fourth floor directly). The main draw back to the hotel was the room itself. We opted for a king suite and the pull out bed was *very* firm. Additionally, the AC struggled to keep either of the rooms at a comfortable temperature until almost morning. Since this was late July it made for less than ideal sleeping. Overall it was acceptable though the price might be a little higher than it should be.

We stayed here to be close to the Children’s hospital. It was advertised that the place was renovated. The room was not. The bed was very firm. Only 1 sink in the room. We requested a king size bed and it was a queen. Upon check-in receptionist was rude but the rest of the receptionists were helpful and polite. If we have another surgery we will be switching to the graduate which is just as close.

The room was spacious and well-appointed for the most part; there were a few dark spots, though--more lighting in the desk area would be welcome. and I liked having a cafe/bistro on-site, and the seating area was comfortable. (Wish there weren't tv's everywhere). The agent checking me in could have been more informative. I was asked if I needed parking (yes), but wasn't told that there was a fee. No mention was made of the housekeeping schedule, either (it turned out to be every other day for my week-long stay). Being interrupted several times by "housekeeping" on check-out day (12 noon check-out) when I was trying to sleep in was a real annoyance. I'll stay here again, but next time will be sure to clarify parking and housekeeping routines.

The hotel is fine. Nice room. Clean. The night shift staff was friendly. Unfortunately, the stay was marred by a bad check-in experience. The check-in staff was slow and inefficient and there was a huge line. It took about 1/2 hour to check in. Others were very frustrated as well. This should be a very simple thing to fix. Otherwise you will lose a lot of customers.

Location was convenient with a free shuttle to the small downtown area. Star taxi was amazing, on time and extremely friendly. However what made my stay great was the staff. I had problems with my room and they immediately put me in one that was much better. They did everything to accommodate my needs including offering an umbrella when it rained.

I stayed at the Courtyard by Marriott at 1201 W Main St, Charlottesville, Virginia, on March 3, 2025, the night before my breast cancer surgery at UVA Hospital, located just down the road. I checked out at 4:30 a.m. to undergo a procedure to remove the cancer and parts of both breasts. Now, three weeks into my recovery and still homebound, I reviewed the receipt from check-out and was shocked by the charges. I was billed for a 'general tip' despite not leaving one, a full day of daycare when I have no children and brought no guests, and a spa bath I didn’t use due to strict pre-surgery restrictions. This reservation was made through Hotels.com, an Expedia Group company, and I was charged $198.00 for a 13-hour pre-surgery stay. I’m requesting a full refund for this stay, as these charges are unjustified. This review will remain posted until I feel Courtyard by Marriott has adequately addressed my complaint to my satisfaction

It was average. I was most disappointed that the summary on Expedia said "Breakfast" when it should have said "Paid breakfast available" All they had available that I could see was lemon water. There were cookies out on a cart when I arrived but they were just laying out, uncovered and anyone could sneeze on them or manhandle them so I wasn\'t about to touch them. The garage was very dirty with rubbish and leaves gathered in corners. Several men were out in the parking garage, smoking marijuana. One guy in his car was slumped over and looked like he may be on drugs. Like everything else these days, they were probably understaffed and the staff they do have is probably underpaid. It looked like management had a fairly laissez-faire attitude about the facility.

Hotel needs repairs and upkeep. My towel rack fell off the wall when I touched it. The closet folding door hinges were loose and the screws may have been stripped. The drawers were off kilter and didn't close easily. The carpet was dirty. There was rarely any sugar in the coffee area. The Bistro was so poorly lit that I didn't realize it was open until the end of my long stay. When I realized it was open at times, I started getting breakfast there and it was wonderful. Great eggs, crispy bacon and potatoes. Staff was very kind and helpful.
