Stayed here 1 night when visiting Monticello. Reception was friendly & efficient & the room was adequate. Hey, for $59/night, we didn't expect the Ritz Carlton. The location was convenient & the view out of our window was the soccer field where we could watch practice. The hotel was virtually on the U VA campus, which we unfortunately did not... More

While the location is close to UVA, the hotel is in disrepair. We felt unsafe during our stay. The walls and sheets were dirty and the air/heat unit was noisy, and odorous. The hotel is on a busy, noisy street, which you can hear in your room. A train runs literally in back of the hotel (look at a satellite... More

Dear Guest, Your comments are appreciated but the reality is that you booked via Expedia and the 2 night stay with "CANCEL BY 4PM 3 DAYS PRIOR TO ARRIVAL" policy in effect. Based on the hotel policy, a refund was not issued for the 2nd night. On Mon Oct 31, 2011 we cordially discussed your reservation and I directed you... More

This motel is "no frills" but very clean and a nice place to stay on a budget. I was here to visit my son who is a student at UVA. This motel has a great location and the staff is very friendly. I will defintiely stay here again! More

This motel is within easy walking distance of the University and the main drag, and offers clean and pleasant, though somewhat dated, accommodations. Oddly enough, however, the towels were unusually plush for a budget motel. The room also featured a small fridge and microwave, as well as a flat screen TV. The front desk staff is very kind and accommodating.... More

I found this hotel on a list the University of Virginia Hospital has for family members of the patients that they give out. I was exhausted after staying over 24 hours at the Hospital both in the ER and ICU with my mother. At the hotel, they were so nice to me and the rooms were clean, comfortable, and they... More

Clean, with small microwave and fridge. Free wi-fi. Good door locks. Continental breakfast was coffee machine coffee, 2% milk for 2 kinds of cereal and packaged baked goods plus juice machine juice. I have stayed at comparably priced motels in the area and they are not as clean or seemed more dated and/or were located further away from the University... More

This hotel is a good option if you are looking to stay near to the University of Virginia. The room itself seemed freshly painted, and the carpet looked thick and also quite new. Everything was clean, although the bathroom was a little old. Breakfast was nothing special, and I ate at a diner round the corner. It was about a... More
