Nice comfortable room, location is convenient for walking to restaurants and UVA but on a busy road. They do a good job of keeping the noise out of the room but just FYI. Breakfast was included which is a nice perk, the coffee was very good and food was ok (pleasant atmosphere). Enjoyed Charlottesville.

The room was tired and needed a facelift. It is also too close to the noisey busy street. The staff was great and very attentive.
