I cannot say enough about this hotel. It was flawless in every way: the location, the staff, the food, the atmosphere, the room, the bed, the view and the amenities! I hope I have another reason to come back!

Pros (+) Great location to UVA’s campus (right behind the hospital near the ‘corner’ part of the campus. The trim was comfortable and amenities were very nice.

Adam, Dec 2019
Pros (+) Cute hotel in a good location and dog friendly.
Cons (-) No parking except paid valet. Dog fee is per day which seems a bit much for a small dog who is making less mess than the guests. This hotel pretends to be boutique but it’s just another boring Marriott. I was expecting kimpton style with free lobby coffee and happy hour drinks but it’s far from that level of lux.
