Oakhurst Inn at the University

Extremely friendly staff and beautiful location. Everything is well appointed. There's a cafe and the little cul-de-sac if you want to go have a meal. A nice lounge area and bar. The pool works beautiful. We just were there at the wrong time of year. Would definitely stay again.

Charging extra for parking should be more clear

Small boutique hotel right next the VA campus. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They valet you car for free and have a neat little bar downstairs. No elevator but staff offers to help with your bags. The old wood floors are creaky but it was very quiet after 10pm. Nice beds and bathroom. We really enjoyed the stay.

Loved our stay, nice room, friendly staff, convenient to grounds, very clean, quaint pool. The valet parking was odd — literally paid a fee to move our car about 30 feet, but whatever.

Beautiful property. On-site bar with poolside live entertainment.

My wife and I stayed here for two nights for a little getaway weekend in Charlottesville. There is a lot of potential for this place, but it will take a little more effort from management. For example, both air conditioners leaked in our room, likely as a result of dirty filters. The first unit was fixed after we reported the issue, the second one started to leak during our second night. Fortunately, our belongings were fine so it wasn’t a big deal. The situation could have been worse though. The cafe is pretty good. Nice selection of creative foods. Easy walk to the attractions in Charlottesville. The pool was nice, but the sauna didn’t work. Just another small example of the missed potential here. There were no fridges in the rooms, although I knew this going in. This would seem to be another simple upgrade that would really improve the experience. Overall, though, the place was nice and I would stay there again.

Lovely inn with modern bathroom. Staff were very kind and accommodating. Food option on site was only a cafe, open from 7am-2pm

We appreciated our stay at Oakhurst Inn. The property is in a good location to the University and not far from downtown. Our room/bathroom was clean and the staff was very helpful. There is not much parking but they provide valet and on-street parking for you.

First stay at this inn and enjoyed our brief time there. Nice and quiet with good space by the pool. Only disappointing thing was bar was not open due to lack of staffing. We were looking forward to enjoying cocktail outside by the pool. Still enjoyed sitting by pool. Will definitely return next time in area.

Off season, this stay was nice. The room was large, with two sitting areas and 3 AC units. Quaint, with a historic feel and cute pool area and bar. Staff friendly and accommodating for dogs. Lots of green space for the pup. Their nearby cafe was a highlight for breakfast. A few amenities were a bit lackluster, the room type we booked was King but the bed was only Full even though the room itself (03) was large with the extra seating areas. No in room fridge. The most inconvenient is the parking situation. Its now mandatory valet, so getting in and out is slow. If youre on a relaxed timetable, its ok, but would have preferred just to park on the steet to have easy access to our car. They also park it under sap trees, so that leaves your car a mess.

This property is old and has not had a good cleaning in a long time. At least a year of dirt on windowsills and moldings. Rugs are dirty and stained. No coffee in morning. Lobby bar is not open, cafe is down two flights of dangerous outdoor stairs. Rooms are small, very easy to hear other guests, AC not working. In short, I will not stay here again.

A quaint inn that exudes a traditional warmth and charm. Our room was large and the bathroom was spacious and beautifully appointed. The staff was kind and helpful and the inn's cosy cafe had food so good I'd return just to eat there again. The bathroom was not as clean as I would like but my husband didn't notice so some of us are more particular than others. Don't let that negative keep you from staying at Oakhurst Inn as it really is lovely. Oh, and maybe bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper.

The stay was so-so. My room was not clean upon arrival and I had to switch rooms. They didn’t have any water at all, not even bottled water.

The room smelled very stuffy, couldn’t sleep because of it. The cleaning is very superficial.

The A/C was not working properly, towels had blood on them and there was no house keeping services

The hotel is lovely and we loved our room and bathroom. Staff was friendly and very helpful.

We stayed her 2 separate nights. It was so wonderful the first night, that we canceled our additional reservation in another city to come back for the last night of our trip. The first room was bright and clean! The second room was dirty, in a basement, smelled like cigars, overlooked the heat pumps for the building, and the toilet didn’t flush properly. We were so bummed out. Would probably stay again, but the property is inconsistent, so just be aware.

Bugs in the light, blinds didn't work, no exhaust fan in the bathroom, A/C went out in the night, A/C leaking water, gnats in the bathroom, staff forgot the 12pm checkout twice

We loved the location--right next to campus and within steps from Oakhurst Cafe--wonderful brunch spot. Staff was very friendly and Inn was exceptionally clean.

We stayed overnight for a concert and were plenty happy with the Inn! The property and gardens surrounding the 3 buildings were beautifully curated and well maintained. Check-in, check-out and valet parking were easy and quick. All staff that we encountered were friendly and helpful. Our room was spacious, clean, and the blackout curtains were vital after a late night. I typically bring my own toiletries like shampoo/conditioner/body wash because not all hotels provide ones that are up to par, but I loved the ones provided at Oakhurst- everything smelled wonderful. We didn’t visit the cafe, but had local beers in the bar area before we ventured out for the concert at JPJ. With pre-event traffic, we decided to Uber to the arena (which was a short distance) but walked back to the Inn in an easy 20 minute walk. Would definitely recommend and would stay again!

Very spacious room-#31,big bathroom Convenient- walk to university locations Park-like setting, outdoor space is inviting Cafe on property excellent Beautiful pool/patio area, loved heated pool Friendly staff, responsive & helpful Great value- midweek stay 2nights was less than other hotels w similar amenities Will definitely return

We were very disappointed by this facility. Online the pictures showed a charming, quaint, cozy place. In reality it was not super comfortable. There were no chairs in the room at all. The only place to sit (other than the bed), was in common areas. I was expecting (based on online images) a large freestanding tub. Instead, we got step in shower with a too short curtain that sprayed water all over the floor.

Oakhurst is a nice little inn with a very old-style feel. Positives: The staff was lovely and very helpful! The bed was VERY comfortable with a lot of nice pillows to choose from. I definitely enjoyed being close enough to their cafe to walk to it in the morning. The parking is very close to the hotel so it’s not difficult at all to move your belongings inside. Negatives: There are some very large windows which, while nice to see outside and have some natural lighting, made the room feel very exposed especially as my room was on the ground floor and right next to the main road. I don’t think there’s much insulation in the older building because it was absolutely freezing at night, especially in the bathroom. (I had to close the door at night to avoid it sucking all the heat from the bedroom) While the bathroom was gorgeous, the water temperature wildly fluctuated between boiling hot and freezing cold with no happy middle. The fitted sheet on my bed was dirty, but I didn’t go to bed until quite late, so I didn’t notice until it felt like too late to ask for them to change it. Lastly (and this was on me for not checking ahead of time) the parking for one night was $16 which felt a bit excessive to me. I think it was an ok experience for the price I paid with gold membership Expedia discount, but think there definitely needs to be some changes before I would consider staying again.

I was visiting a friend at the university and this property was very convenient! A 5 minute walk. I could not adjust/turn on the heat in my room which was not great. Does not include breakfast. The room felt almost antique while the bathroom was super modern.

Overall, a decent property. It's in a very old building that was refurbished a little over ten years ago. It's starting to show need for repairs. For example, a portion of the shutters was broken in the bathroom window. The metal support at the base of the bathroom sink was off center. Our room was located behind the front desk, and there was a lot of noise in the early morning hours. Not sure if it was the front desk staff or the person in the room above us who we could here walking around on the wood floors. Having said all that, the staff at Oakhurst was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast at the cafe (not included in our rate) was first rate, and the service there was fantastic. This was a very convenient location in the heart of the University. A nice place to stay just not sure of the overall value for the price.

The hotel doesn’t look like on pictures. It is very cute, but the rooms are outdated. The walls are very thin. I stayed on the first floor and was up at 630 am, because people on the second floor decided to get up early and it felt like they were jumping there and moving the furniture. I’ve heard when they were using bathroom each time they flushed the toilet. The parking situation is not so good on the side, however they do have a parking garage where you can park. I came to the hotel very late, and after couple of unsuccessful attempts to park near the lobby, I was sent to the parking garage. Unfortunately, it was hard to find for me because of the constructions near by and because there are no lights on the street. In general, it is a very cute hotel, but it is definitely overpriced

Located right on grounds so super easy and convenient to get to my son's concert and walk around. Very quaint place with oversized rooms. Very comfortable bedding as well. Will definitely try to stay here for future events.

The property was old, had key entry. The room was clean. The bed was very comfortable. You could see light down the side of the door and underneath. Just needs updating on the doors and a mini fridge. My car was covered in tree sap and we only stayed one night. The employees were super nice and very helpful.

The staff was absolutely excellent! It is a gem for a UVA game, walking distance to the stadium, campus and fun bars/restaurants. Quiet neighborhood and very nice overall. It's an old building that they have renovated nicely. The floor in our room was slanted as a result, but you get used to it :). Heat didn't work the first day but they quickly resolved it.

The staff went over and beyond! Loved my stay and would 100% go back!

We were very excited to arrive in Charlottesville with my daughter for a university tour. Unfortunately the lady at the front desk was rude and non service minded. It seemed she was inconvenienced by our questions which did not make us feel very welcome. The hotel hardly had anything on offer, only three sharing platter options that the bartender plated in front of me by the bar. He however was very friendly. There was nothing offered in terms of a coffee or tea in the morning and we found one apple on offer before we left. All other stays we have had during our road trip has offered at least coffee/tea and some fruit. We also had to pay for parking on the property and the cost was $16.99 plus tax. Once again why charge for parking on the parking lot on the premises? This is really cheap by the hotel. Although a cute set up and surroundings beautiful we would not recommend this hotel to anyone. The price was too expensive for what it offered.

Tyler was fabulous for check in.

Staff was so kind and the property was gorgeous. I travel for work and this was one of my favorite places I have stayed.

Nice location to see the campus

Beautiful property, excellent service and great location. Would be more than happy to stay here again.

Charming inn next to Univ. of VA. Sort of a rambling structure with multiple small buildings. Room was small, but well-decorated: wooden floors, minimalist but modern flavor. Nice shower; bed was a bit soft for my taste. Very quiet. On-site bar (lifeless) and cafe (good for brunches, coffee) are available. Inexpensive valet parking is available. Great location for access to college or downtown.

There for an event at UVA, so location was convenient. Inn has separate buildings located around a cul-de-sac right off busy main thoroughfare. A local resident told us the Inn was originally UVA student housing which explains the “dorm-like “ feel of the room and sitting area. The renovated bathroom was well-done with a European vibe. Highlight was the Oakhurst Inn Cafe with amazing breakfast menu, easily walkable to separate building. Parking was “valet only” as location was in a busy area of the University.

Great location and friendly staff! Unique stay!

Liked the quaint, small building atmosphere with multiple houses where rooms are located. A nice change from big modern hotels with no charm or atmosphere. Location near UVA campus was great for walking around.

Very near the Univ. of Virginia campus, though a fair bit of a walk to the shopping areas near the campus and historic downtown. Nice common rooms. Friendly and helpful front desk staff.

The property was nice and not too far from UVA and downtown area

Lovely older property. Well maintained. The Oakhurst Cafe associated with the hotel is absolutely amazing. Highly recommend.

Beautiful property. On-site bar with poolside live entertainment.

The room was small, but comfortable with a nice bathroom, good bed linens and towels. The Inn advertises a lobby bar with small plates, and this was one of the reasons I booked it - for a convenient light supper since I was arriving in the evening. But I was advised on arrival that it wasn't opening until March. There was no mention of this closure on the website when I booked.

So peaceful- jazz night on Monday was a lovely treat
