Perfect location

We loved our stay at the Dinsmore Inn in Charlottesville. The location is perfect and the inn itself has so much historic charm. Our room was beautiful and the bed extremely comfortable. The staff were very friendly and professional, which made us feel welcome straight away. Breakfast at the Farm Bell Kitchen was an added bonus — a lovely setting with a great selection to choose from, all cooked to order and very fresh. Highly recommend this inn for anyone visiting Charlottesville!

Southern hospitality at its best

Dinsmore is a sweet taste of southern hospitality. The rooms are all clean and beautiful. Ours has a fireplace and lots of light. The bed is a four poster with the softest linens. The manager greeted us and showed us a hospitality are of the building with complimentary coffee waters. They have an extensive collection of wine for sale. The breakfast was the very best we’ve had, again complimentary. This was an overnight stay for us on our way to Nortu Carolina and I can’t recommend it enough

We loved everything about the hotel. It’s a beautiful historical building. It’s charming and comfortable. The manager, Jake texted me before checking time letting us know that our room is ready, and he welcomed us when we arrived. We got vouchers for breakfast at the restaurant in the hotel. The breakfast menu was great. We ordered different things everyday and they were all delicious! There is a dining room/kitchen on 3rd floor where all guests can use. We made coffees to take and teas for evening there everyday. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Charlottesville.
Beautiful historical place.
