Check in was great after a last minute stay. Room was very clean and the floor was quiet. The only issue was the bathtub didn’t drain the water despite the open valve. Beds were comfortable.

Fine, could do better.

I understand not expecting a rush of folks on a random Tuesday, but to put us in an uncleaned room was a…unique experience. Thankfully we were moved when I told them about this but our new room still had trash in plain sight under the fridge. I thought Ill take what I can get. The hallway leading to our room also smelled like straight up toilets. I chalked it up to the numerous cleaning carts laying around during the day but it persisted into the evening. Other than these inconveniences, it worked for what we needed. The beds weren’t great but they worked, the bathroom was clean, and the ac worked. Thats more than some places can say. Its also in a great location, which honestly is the real reason we chose the place. You can walk to an outdoor mall, several restaurants and coffee shops, and its walking distance to JPJ arena (shout out Billy Strings). This certainly isnt the worst place Ive ever stayed at but honestly its the worst Holiday Inn I've been too. Overall, it wasnt the best stay Ive ever had, and Im likely to shop around for our next Cville trip, but it was fine. Just fine. Nothing more, and almost a little less.

Lovely spot for a quick overnight

The front desk staff were so kind and welcoming. The room was in great shape, comfy bed and all the amenities I needed for a quick over night in Charlotesville. Quite quiet as well even with the proximity to busy roads.
