The hotel decor was attractive with a welcoming real fire in the lobby on a cold evening. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was spacious with a choice of firm or soft pillows though they were on the small side. We found everything to be very clean and well kept. Even though our room was on the... More

First, we got better price just calling directly to the front desk than the web. The pool is convenient, very small, the water wasn't heated enough for my 5 y.o., and it didn't look very clean to me. The exercise room was ancient, but I got to go for a walk without incidences. It was smelly for sure. The TV,... More

I stayed at this hotel a couple of times and wrote an honest review, but never published. The people work there are very polite for sure. I got upgrades every time due to the platinum status (Priority Club). But the property is aging and needs renovations badly. The room and part of the hotel like fitness room are smelly. After...

Breakfast got messed up, they were doing a big catering for out group and at least 1 other big group, and ran out... More

This property is nicely redone. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Traffic outside the hotel on Rt. 29 can be very heavy at times. This property is very close to UVA, and its proximity along with the friendliness of the staff make it a great place to stay. More

I stayed in Rm 521. My comments about the state of repair and decor apply to this room as I found it, and the rest of the building as I saw it. The bathroom shower rail was loose, and the plug on the tub broken. The bathroom was not very clean. The bed was about as supportive as a broken... More

I used my reward points for this stay. I would not pay, unless it was Priceline. Older, very dated property. Dinner in retaurant was good, breakfast was not a good value. Worst part was getting stuck in the elevator. Hazard of an older hotel. More

We got this room through Priceline, so it wasn't a personal choice to stay here. It was chosen for us, basically. This hotel was older and needs more updating. The room had a smokey and moldy smell, which was irritating. It is a non smoking hotel but since it is old the stale cigarette smoke was very apparent. I would... More
