Check in was good with polite and friendly Hostess. They would have received an excellent rating; however deadbolt on door did not work and bedding (sheets, comforter, pillow cases smelled like cigarette smoke. I notified front desk attendant and the bedding was changed to fresh clean bedding. The deadbolt remains broke (safety issue).

Cancellation Policy – No Exceptions for weather

I travel to Charlottesville each month for a meeting and typically stay at this hotel because it’s conveniently located, and the staff has always been welcoming. Last week, my meeting was rescheduled to the following week due to weather, and unfortunately, the same issue happened again. I had to cover the cost of the first rescheduling and lost it again the second time. When I called to adjust my reservation, I discovered that as of 1/8/25, a new policy was implemented with a much stricter cancellation policy. I want to make others aware of this change, as it may impact future bookings. It’s disappointing that they offer no flexibility for weather-related cancellations.

BAD Service / no appreciation

Our company sends teams out to work in various areas may times a year. They typically love Marriott hotels, but unfortunately, we will not be booking with them anymore. We've spent a lot of money in hotels annually, most of which were Marriott or assoc. Typically with no issues whatsoever. Until now, this particular trip was cut short due to heavy snow that my team could not work in, when we ask for any kind of help, as in, a partial refund or booking the same amounts of rooms the following week. We were told to essentially "take a hike", and "our policy is no refunds at all ever". This was very disappointing that we did not get any kind of assistance and wasted three night's stay for two rooms. I fully understand policies and their stance, but I feel like with the amount of past and potential future business. There would have been some kind of "customer care" assistance. Thanks!
