My wife and I stayed at the Clifton Inn for the first time this past weekend, when our daughter graduated from UVA. What a great place! We were one of 4 families who hosted a dinner there. The food was excellent. The accommodations were absolutely great. A real "country retreat." The staff was very attentive to our needs.

The Clifton Inn is very nice but on a value for money basis, there is something wrong here. The staff are very nice but, to be entirely honest, this is a bed and breakfast, nothing more really. I could run through the list of things that make this a more modest effort than the price tag would indicate but I... More

My husband and I spent our anniversary here and were absolutely thrilled with our experience. The service was impeccable, the food was clever and delicious, the grounds were beautifully landscaped and the quite country location was just what we were looking for. All the extra touches like complimentary champagne and a special printed menu just for us saying "Happy Anniversary"... More

This is a gorgeous, peaceful property with historic charm and modern amenities in a stunning rural setting. The decor, the service, the gardens, all the little things that make a great hotel are here. Yes, the floors are a bit uneven. But the furnishings are top quality and the renovations done there include a quiet HVAC system, free wi-fi, a... More

My husband and I are from Charlottesville and were married at the Clifton Inn at the end of March, 2013. The Clifton Inn was the first and only venue we looked at in person because we instantly knew we were in excellent hands. Immediately upon arriving at Clifton, we were treated with much care. The staff members are very professional... More

My husband and I were just married at Clifton, and have nothing but positive things to say about the entire staff and grounds. Kaitlyn, the wedding coordinator, is superb. She was responsive to our multiple requests to customize the experience while keeping things within our budget. We rented the entire grounds for the weekend and the staff was extremely flexible...

My husband and I loved the warm hospitality, beautiful rooms and wonderful dining at the Clifton Inn. We enjoyed the Chef's Table experience very much - such innovative, delicious food served in a unique, kitchen-side environment. Everyone was very kind and made sure we had a wonderful time from the moment we crossed the threshold. I'm looking forward to our... More

Hands down the best hotel / inn experience I've had. Came here for Valentine's dinner and stayed the night. Everyone there treated us with the utmost respect and hospitality. What sets Clifton Inn apart from others is that it is a very personalized experience from the moment you walk into your room to the moment you check-out. They work to... More

We came down for a quick visit to see Darden and decided to stay at the Clifton on a last minute recommendation from a friend. I'm so glad that we did! After a long day of traveling and touring campus, we headed to the Inn to get settled and check-in. It was such a pleasant surprise, we were upgraded from... More

Because we had experienced such a wonderful dinner at the Clifton Inn for Christmas, we chose the Inn for our Valentine's Day dinner. We were sorely disappointed, and offer the following comments: - Chilled lobster salad: We love lobster, steamed, boiled, or chilled, but we do not like raw lobster, which is what we were served, especially if it is...
