I stayed at the Cavalier Inn last weekend for one night. This was my first visit to Charlottesville/UVA. I read a lot of the reviews before booking my room and I was a little nervous. I read quite a lot of negative reviews and I was hoping that I would not have the same experience. I am happy to say... More

On a recent college visit with my daughter I decided to make a reservation at the Cavalier Inn. The price was great and the location even better. I also had high expectations for a property that was associated with UVA. The lobby was fine but the rooms were not. This is an older property that has been "cuted up" but... More

Great place to stay. Walking distance to everything in UVA, nice updated rooms, plenty of free parking, and a very good value for your money. Don't go for the free breakfast though and try one of the restaurants in The Corner instead. More

We had the worst continental breakfast of my life here. The front desk was charming and the location was great. However, the rooms were damp and smelled of mold. My husband contracted bronchitis within a week of our stay. It may not have been related at all, but if you can avoid this hotel, do. Why take a chance? More

I am not even checked out yet. Major downside for me, can't get room cool enough for comfort. No windows that open and air unit is central system, not outside unit always a bad sign. The gentleman at front desk was VERY helpful and tried to address it. Even looked a another room but didn't work either. So, what can... More

Needed a quick get away and decided to visit Charlottesville. We wanted to be near the campus and the downtown area. All the hotels were quite expensive and then we found The Cavalier. I was skeptical because their price was so much cheaper, so I checked reviews on Trip Advisor. It was convenient, clean, great staff, and a cheap cab... More

My husband and I were very happy with our recent stay. For the price of the room, we weren't expecting much. It's a basic room, with no luxeries, but the location and convenience far outweigh the lack of extras. We were able to walk to everything at UVA. We will stay there again. More

We stayed here for one night in August for a concert downtown at the Charlottesville Pavillion. It was just right for a night. The free trolley picks up just steps from the motel which was the selling feature for us. We did not want to have to find parking downtown. Its nothing fancy but has everything you would need and...

Bills itself as "in the center of UVA". The school is so spread out that it doesn't matter. The staff is great. The building itself is old & dingy. Internet connection was very slow. Breakfast was almost ok. Next door, The Villa, has good food. Pool is pretty much useless. More
