Clean and comfortable room. Soap and shampoo containers were filled properly. Climate control was a little tricky at first, but I figured it out. Wish the shower was a little cleaner. Breakfast was meh, but it was free and the coffee was good. Great friendly staff.

The manager on Sunday was amazing, but the woman at the desk when we checked in was rude and had an attitude. The grounds were well kept and breakfast was good. The room was not clean, the bed skirt had stains and was ripped. There was trash still in the trash can in the room and crumbs on the floor. Luckily the bed itself was clean. When we discussed with the manager the next day she apologized for the associates behavior the evening before and room, then offered to make it right. Later in the week a random $5.27 charge shows on our credit card. Calling to inquire once again it was the rude associate that said it’s a parking fee that was never disclosed to us. I said thanks for mentioning that when we checked in because you were never so helpful and she indicated it was on a check in sheet that i don’t remember seeing at all, but of course didn’t keep a copy of. Also, our reservation didn’t indicate paid parking.

I cannot say enough GREAT things about the Sonesta ES Suites! We stayed for 2 nights since our Mom had outpatient surgery at the UVA Medical Center. The entire staff was so friendly, helpful and accommodating. We had a lot of downtime so we hung out by the pool area, enjoyed the morning breakfast (good coffee and lots of great food choices) and really liked the close proximity to restaurants, stores and the athletic field with a jogging/walking track behind the hotel. We stayed in the Superior 2 Bedroom Suite and it was perfect. The kitchen and living room area had everything you needed including an oven, microwave, full size fridge/freezer, dishwasher and a Keurig machine with utensils and dishes and even a gas fireplace. Really thoughtful amenities. There is one elevator centrally located and stairs are right there and well lit with easy access. We didn't have time but there were cornhole boards, basketballs, and other items you could borrow to use in the court by the pool as well as plenty of tables and chairs around the pool, some with umbrellas. Again, the staff was the BEST - the front desk, the breakfast attendant, employees we passed in the hall, etc. They really made our stay! This is definitely our GO TO place in Charlottesville. Thank you again for a great stay!
