Top Charlottesville Hotel Reviews

English Inn of Charlottesville

10/10 Excellent

"I was at a previous motel because of unfortunate circumstances, and I was so happy to be at the English Inn. It was far more superior than the previous motel and over all environment is so peaceful and clean. It was good to be in a comfy bed and relaxing room. The English Inn has been my "go to" place to stay as I am a frequent visitor. Overall best place to stay when you are in Charlottesville."
