This sweet boutique hotel was the absolute best stay! It brought the amenities, charm, location, and comfort that we needed for our stay. I’ve already recommended this spot to friends when they visit Charlottesville and hope to return and stay again. We loved the aesthetic, it was easy to get anywhere from the location, it was tidy, quiet, and had everything we needed plus the allure of more privacy and unique furnishings and features. Communications from owner/manager were great as well!

Lovely and convenient

First, the only difference between the listing and the room was the bedframe, but I had to be honest! Gorgeously comfortable bed, though. Everything was lovely, we loved being right in the middle of the mall. Other than the street noise (which was expected and not unreasonable) it was nice and quiet. Check in was smooth and communication was clear. If we are ever back in the area, we would stay here again!
