Oakhurst Inn at the University

Charming inn close to campus but still nestled and private. Lovely thoughtful inn staff. Live music and excellent wine and beer selection. Nice light fare and a private pool an sauna. A gem.

We enjoyed our weekend and slept comfortably and enjoyed the friendly & helpful staff.

We only stayed one night. The staff was professional and helpful. But some things were lacking. The staff was not ABC licensed to serve liquor, beer and wine was the only option. The coffee pot in the lobby was broken. We had to rely on the instant packets in our room which did not fit the hot water pitcher. The staff was able to find different coffee packs but the coffee was terrible. Valet worked fine. Room was comfortable but small and the TV was maybe 32" we didnt use it. Our room was very close to the sidewalk and that made it a bit uncomfortable with curtains having to be drawn for privacy. I expected a bit more. It is not a traditional big chain hotel experience but more of a boutique.

Great hotel that was an old student home. Great location near the campus!

The Oakhurst Inn is a very nice hotel. The property is well maintained, the rooms are clean and comfortable, the staff is very friendly and helpful. What’s not abundantly clear about this property, if you’re staying there for the first time, is that it is largely a valet parking situation. And sometimes it’s difficult to coordinate with the front desk as to when you want your vehicle brought around… This is largely because there’s usually only one person working in the front desk and they may be somewhere else on property helping another guest. I would recommend reading carefully the city of Charlottesville street parking signs around the circle where the hotel is, because you could luck out on the weekend and be able to just park your vehicle yourself. However, they don’t tell you about that when you’re checking in. The only other slight complaint I have with OHI, is we had an air conditioning issue in our room, the unit was not pumping out any cold air, but only heat, no matter what the setting was. And it took two days to resolve and at one point required the front desk to monitor the temperature in our room remotely through an app, which wasn’t ideal. We ended up sleeping with the window cracked, and luckily it was cold enough outside that the room remained comfortable. Overall though, nice stay. I would recommend to others, but would make others aware of things like the parking.
