I was scheduled to stay at this hotel on 4/29 but had a very last minute change of plans. I was literally calling at 3:58pm on the day of arrival, and their cancelation policy was no charge if you canceled by 4pm. I was a bit frantic and anticipated being given a hard time due to the down to the... More

We were in town for a wedding so we needed a room for the night. The room is a little on the small side, barely enough room to do much more then sleep, but it was clean. Although it did fit a travel pack n play very well. I doubt a full size one would have fit. The room decor... More

We had trouble getting a room due to several events at Univ of VA but this Budget Inn worked out well for us. It's in a great location. The rooms are a bit dated and small but our second floor room was very clean, quiet and suited our needs for the weekend.

I needed an inexpensive place to sleep for one night, I read the reviews and booked this place. It was clean, BUT my room wasn't in good shape at all. Everything in my room predated the '70's I think. The toilet seat looked like it would fall apart (the plastic was cracked and peeling) and there was no lid. The... More

We had a horrible problem with our first hotel so we left at 1am looking for a new one. I can not tell you how happy we were to find this place. GREAT location, wonderful staff, the cleanest rooms I've ever seen and very new updates in the bathroom. This place saved our trip and has a very classy look... More

I had stayed at this hotel before and had a pleasant experience. So when I found myself in need of a hotel in Charlottesville I did not hesitate to return. The rooms has been updated since the last time I was there. Large, flat screen tvs, new furniture and a so soft duvet/bed cover.

Had to be in Charlottesville unexpectedly on a Saturday. This turned out to be one of the last affordable options in town. For a rate of 84 $ I got a room that was mostly underground and smelt musty. The room just didn't seem very clean. Bathroom in desperate need of updating (old cigarette damage etc). Very poor sound isolation... More

They should pay the woman who cleans the room more. I do not know what she is getting paid now, but it is not enough. We expected only clean towels and washcloths, but she cleaned our entire room and even folded my nightgown! Such a nice surprise.

This is a very basic hotel, but it served the purpose we needed: a place to sleep and a location within walking distance to the University of Virginia. This is definitely an older hotel. There are no decorations on the walls and the TV was one of those small tube TVs that protruded into the room from a mount about... More

Spent one night at the Inn while exploring Virginia. Booked in very late but staff still very friendly and helpful, despite the late hour. Room was a bit small to fit two double beds - we felt quite cramped. Although the room looked neat and clean, there was a lingering musty smell. The AC was too loud. We had to... More
