Top Charlottesville Hotel Reviews

Sonesta ES Suites Charlottesville University

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room with a modern kitchen - pleasant surprise. The AC works very well when it was hot and humid. Close to UVA. There is a pool but we didn’t have time to use it. Quiet and safe street. Comfortable place to stay."

The Doyle Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice room...thin walls though so a bit noisy. Need to be comfortable with no on site staff. No issues with check in or check out online, but the lock on our balcony door was broken...which given the balconies are connected would have been an issue had my husband not been with me. So I did not try to contact anyone to fix it. TV remote also not working...again no front desk to remedy the situation quickly so we just did without TV. But overall not a bad experience."

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Charlottesville-UVA, VA

10/10 Excellent

"I would highly recommend this hotel. The room was in excellent condition, the staff were very friendly and the complimentary breakfast was plentiful. The only downfall was the cost of snacks. I would recommend bringing your own. Although they did give complimentary bottles of water, a candy bar was $3, a Coke was $4, and a bottle of Smart water was $8. Just bring your own if you like to snack."

Kimpton The Forum Hotel by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The arboretum behind the hotel was gorgeous, and there is a lit walking path at night to listen to all the toads in the pond. My room was spacious with really high ceilings, good blackout curtains, and a fully enclosed shower (so many hotels these days have exposed showers that get water on the floor). Staff was helpful when I needed a a complimentary item. It’s about a 10-minute Uber to the Charlottesville main street shopping/dining area. If you are visiting the UVA Law or Business schools, or if you have a loved one in Copeley Hill Apartments, you could not be any closer than this."
