Holiday Inn Charlottesville-Univ Area by IHG

8/10 Good

"The building needs a renovation. Stains, cracks in the ceiling of our room; torn/ripped curtains; bathtub didn't drain very well. That said, the staff was excellent in helping us."

Sonesta ES Suites Charlottesville University

6/10 Okay

"No one cleaned our room when we were there. I finally had to ask at the desk how we can get clean towels. They asked how many towels did I need. And then brought out this big stack of towels for me to carry up to our room. Which was the furthest away than any hotel I have ever stayed in. Very inconvenient. The breakfast was not good and out of everything including coffee when we came down 45 minutes before they close."

Little Mod Hotel at the University

10/10 Excellent

"This wasn't my first stay and will not be my last. I love this quaint, clean and friendly hotel. The staff is friendly, professional and goes above and beyond to ensure your stay is comfortable and every need is met. The decor is adorable, the thoughtful little items in the rooms are greatly appreciated. The beds, pillows and linens are exceptional. Plus, having a cool little food truck on the premises is a great idea. Also, the location is wonderful for exploring Charlottesville."
