Econo Lodge Charlottesville North - University Area

Great smoker friendly rooms

Friendly staff and they even had a smoking room! I

Property has a small parking lot.

This is an older property - think 70s motel-style. But it is very clean and the staff are friendly. The sheets are probably from the 70s though - could use an update - towels not far behind. But reasonable price and handy!

Staff was rude when I had to get a new keycard after they deactivated my original. The rooms were old and dirty it also smelled of cigarettes. This hotel was definitely the worst I’ve experienced in Charlottesville and I will never come back here.

We stayed here overnight after attending a UVA game. It was clean and big and comfortable, and the surrounding area was quiet.

When we arrived I was pleasantly surprised at the cleanliness of our room. The bathroom looked recently remodeled and everything was spotless. The front staff was friendly and professional. Breakfast was better than expected with hot water for oatmeal, fresh fruit, yogurt and an assortment of breads and bagels. Our microwave and fridge didn't work perfectly but everything important was great. We also enjoyed the nearby Rivanna trail we could walk to from the Econolodge.

It looks like the bathroom and sink area had been recently remodeled. Very clean and neat. The room was pleasant. Bed was good. Furnishings were contemporary. AC and TV worked well. It even had a microwave and a small fridge. Nice and quiet in the evenings for a good night’s sleep. I was very pleased. Continental breakfast provided. It was the least expensive motel, and was well worth the money. I stayed alone and felt pretty safe in the area. June 2023.

No complaints at all. Room was clean, everything worked.

The room was clean and updated.

Filthy

Room smelled of smoke

Hotel is not in great shape. The rooms r ok but you can hear the people in the room above you just walking around in their room and it sounds like a herd. The bathroom sealing has brown stuff on the ceiling that would drip down if you take any temp of shower. Vent looks like it had not been cleaned in ages. The floor was covered in crumbs from the moment we walked in. To make matters worse is that they demand that u leave your room every three days from them to mandatory clean. Which does not to be helping with the cleanliness. Plus I work night shift and got kicked out for two hours the first time they cleaned. The second time it would have been five hours if I had not gone to the front desk about it. When I got told rudely by the manager that my trash from the last cleaning was too heavy that's why this had to be done. The compromise so that I could sleep to go to work was to let them clean at 10 the next day, and the manager could not even remember to mention this to the maids or that she even talked to me. I was told rudely not to return because I didagreed with her about being kicked out of my room for cleaning, when I need to sleep for work. I took out my own trash the entire stay, their the maids had one bag to take out the whole stay. Don't waste your time or money. Plenty of other hotels in the area.

The beds were not the i est. It was like we were laying on springs. But the rest was great.

Service was great, quick and very polite staff. Room was very clean. Bed was firmer than I like but for a 1 night stay not bad.

I've stayed at this property a few times b/c my business has an event 3xs a year at a location close by and the price is right but there's always something. This time we were placed under a room with at least 3 children running back and forth across the ceiling til 1AM and all had to sleep with headphones in. Last time I couldn't get into the room when I arrived b/c my two employees had checked in ahead of me despite being the person who paid for the room and who's name it was under. I had to wait in the parking lot for 30 mins for them to return from a movie after driving there. Also the non-smoking rooms still smell like smoke and there's evidence like burns on the tubs that they were formerly smoking rooms. Just manage your expectations with this place. It works for a crash pad but def request an uptairs room.

Room was nice for the price. The heater didn't work so they moved me to a new room. Continental breakfast is very limited, but staff was great. They cleaned my room between nights which is not common anymore.

I’ve stayed in a smoking room but this made me want to vomit. I went next door to the days inn.

The manager told us it would be quieter upstairs, but we stayed downstairs because my wife is disabled. We heard a little bit of walking overhead, but it wasn't a problem. Place was nice and clean.

The room was clean overall. No 1st floor rooms available. No accessible rooms meant climbing stairs which hurt my back quite a bit. Toilet kept refilling but never heard leak. Fridge door wouldn't close even when empty. Kept hearing fridge trying to keep items cool. Not a restful night. Cheap price. You definitely get what you pay for.

It was a pretty convenient stay in terms of location to food spots and landmarks, especially the hibachi place next door which was pretty good. The beds were comfortable and the space was clean. The only issue we had was with one of our keycards not unlocking the room, leading us to be locked out. Luckily the other half of our group was in the room and could open the door to let us back in. Besides that, it was a great value for the quality we received.

Owner wanted for me to cage my service dog, she was 'NOT allowed to be free in room. lF YOU HATE DOGS, THEN PUT THAT ON YOUR WEB SITE I WAS ASKED TO LEAVE BECAUSE MY DOG WAS SITTING OUTSIDE AND OWNER COULD NOT SEE ME SITTING RIGHT THERE. SPEAKING WITH HER. MORE BUGS INSIDE THAN OUT. The ADA should be notified. Rescue squad was there twice for same person, lights, sirens, no sleep, yelling, fighting upstairs, with no door lock, i was frightened.

Nice clean room. Friendly front desk check in

Have to stay while works being done on my house, the older guy up front ia awesome

Attendees at the front desk were accommodating and well mannered.

Staff was rude when I had to get a new keycard after they deactivated my original. The rooms were old and dirty it also smelled of cigarettes. This hotel was definitely the worst I’ve experienced in Charlottesville and I will never come back here.

Friendly staff above and beyond

Staff was rude

Overall fine- wasn't expecting much, just needed a quick spot to sleep for a cheap price, and this made the list. Friendly and helpful service. Location was good for visiting UVA .

For this particular visit, it was a nice quiet atmosphere.

Very near to the CHO airport and also near to Shenandoah National park. The place is old but clean. Staff is good and helped us.

The property is right on route 29 and close to restaurants and shopping

Felt unsafe. Had to call police for activity across the street. They allowed people with no transportation to stay. Housekeeping were very nice.

This is a simple, no frills, kind of place. The room was very clean and comfortable. Check in was easy and the front desk staff were friendly. There was even a light, continental breakfast provided each morning. I definitely recommend this hotel.

Very little in the way of breakfast options, but rooms were convenient, economical, and clean.

No breakfast per say
