We truely enjoyed our stay at the hotel. The ladies at the reception desk were very sweet and helpful. Our studio apartment was nice, spacious, and well equipped. Pool and exercise room was basic, clean, and well kept. Walking distance from city center. Breakfast however, was horrible. Very few healthy choices, egg powder products and dry sausage. No fruit or whole grain. Overall a nice hotel, well worth the price. However, you might want to plan breakfast at one of the cozy nearby cafes.

There’s no restaurant or bar in this hotel walking distance to downtown if you’re staying here the Omni is a better choice. The gym was very dirty and no water or towel in the gym first thing in the morning. This hotel is poorly managed

My day was very short and I definitely wouldn’t stay at this hotel again. It’s disappointing that a water in the lobby cost 7.50 And they don’t offer any complimentary water except in the gym . Terrible

Parking is a paid option, but amazingly convenient and worth every penny. I stay at a half dozen Residence Inns a year, and this location is the most walkable with the most nearby dining options of any. Views from some rooms are not great, but that's not why you chose to stay here. It's my new favorite stopover point between NC and the northeast, beating out Waynesboro, and both Richmond locations. I look forward to staying here again.

This is a great Residence Inn, a very easy walk to the place in downtown Charlottesville. The studio room was spacious and comfortable. The staff was great, the business center was easy to use, and breakfast was solid. The only issue I had is that the listing on Expedia says the room has a tub shower combo, but it was only a shower in the room I had.

I stay here often and have yet to be disappointed. Covered parking is a paid option, but well worth it for the convenience. A separate elevator goes right from the lobby to the garage. Just make sure you check in first and get your room key and parking pass, otherwise you won't be able to use that elevator.

Manager getting upset when pointing out flaws in the rooms in spite of communicating it in the most polite way possible. They offered a room in which the smell of food was quite unpleasant to say the least and where fresh stains were all over the couch in particular. Instead of getting apologies by pointing it out, she was clearly annoyed which frankly made me uneasy. We ended up in a normal 1 bed room with my family of 4 and no reimbursement for the price difference was offered. We still enjoyed our time since Charlottesville and its surroundings is very pleasant. We were a bit squeezed in the room but at least it was clean.

What I didn't like about our stay is that when we opened the door to our room, there were other people already occuping the room. The staff couldn't understand why this happened. We were given a different room, near the ice machine :-( No flavored creamer like other locations for coffee.

The gentlemen at the desk Saturday early morning saw that I was stressed that the coffee pot was empty in the lobby. By the time I pulled my car around (5 minutes...) to pick up my family, he had it refilled. Appreciate the little things and the attentiveness of this front desk staff!

I enjoyed the property's central location to the downtown mall in Charlottesville. The University of Virginia is a bit of a walk, but it's doable for someone of reasonable fitness. I will say that I failed to consider when I booked that each room was a full-service apartment. While I did not take full advantage of the kitchen, these rooms would be good for those staying for at least several weeks, or families who want to save on food costs.

Staff was very friendly. The room was nice and spacious but the bed was very hard and uncomfortable. One light fixture was missing a light bulb and the extenders to close one set of the blinds were not on the blinds but sitting on the floor against the wall next to them - we had to reattach them ourselves to be able to close the blinds. Breakfast was ok, eggs were soggy and no bacon. The hotel was very quiet which was appreciated. Location was good. Parking is $10/day.
