Reviews
The hotel is generally well-liked for its renovated rooms, cleanliness, and convenient location, particularly for accessing the University. However, many guests express dissatisfaction with the ongoing renovations, which cause noise, dust, and inconvenience. The hotel's customer service is also a point of contention, with some guests praising the staff's courtesy and professionalism, while others complain about unhelpful attitudes and poor problem resolution.

This was way overpriced for the facility. I understand that it was reunion’s weekend at the university, but I feel that they really price gouged you. I don’t believe they were very good business partners by increasing the price so much.. then on top of the exorbitant prices they charged for parking as well. $1500 for two nights stay was ridiculous but I did it because it was my 50th reunion. It might be reasonable at other times, but definitely not worth the price.

My husband is battling cancer for the second time in 11 years. We love the care that we receive at UVA and the options that we have for treatment. What we love about this particular Hampton Inn is how convenient it is to the Cancer Center/hospital. And it is very comfortable and the staff are friendly. It is almost like taking a mini vacation in the middle of fighting cancer. And my son lives an hour closer to Charlottesville than he is from our home which makes it especially nice! The traffic in the area due to lots of construction (which is actually a good thing for the school and the hospital).

We enjoyed a very adequate breakfast, and took a coffee to go. At checkin there was no mention of a $20 fee to park. I was not aware In had been charged until I read the emailed invoice. In retrospect I checked the website, and did see the parking fee was listed. So now I'll do a better job of researching upcoming stays.

Only front desk person on property and Clyde couldn’t be bothered if you needed anything! Had to asked for a trash a for our suite room everyday 4 nights and still never received one! The maid spoke zero English! She only spoke French. The Hotel itself is a good location but for the price you pay you would think they could clean your room or bring you a trash can.
- 3/5
The room had areas that were not clean, and we never received housekeeping during our 3 day stay, although we were told we would. The positives are the size of the room, the location, and the front desk staff.

The only thing is the breakfast timing, it’s only till 9:30 and from 9:20 the staff shuts half the door and gives u a look that ur late. Also by 9 mostly everything is finished and no chance of refill in time. So if they could extend till 10, that would be great. Also the cleaning is on request so twice after requesting also my room did not get cleaned. Rest my stay was v good.

The breakfast was quite good. The heating was uneven and a little hard to regulate. The overall room was mostly clean, however the shower door tracks could have been cleaner. I don’t think they should charge a daily rate for parking. $20 per day. Being a Hilton Honor member should also count for something.

Room was fine but check-in not so pleasant. I had to wait for 10-15 minutes while the check-in clerk was seeking things (tableware and comforter) for another person, and then she was very brusque and unfriendly when she checked me in (10:15pm Jan. 23). It was as if I had done something to inconvenience her.

Very poor initial check in. Was told that early checkin would cost $75 and parking would be $35. Nothing of this was on any registration site. I am a long time hilton honors member. No recognition. Also upon questioning these hidden charges was told "that's Charlottesville"

I have stayed at this location before and enjoy it each time. The rooms are comfortable and clean. The location is convenient. The staff is friendly and helpful. The breakfast is simple, but substantial and self-serve. When I was there one of the staff came out to check on it to make sure there was plenty. The location is in the middle of multiple choices for restaurants and activities. It's a great location. I will stay here again.

I booked through Expedia and my credit card was charged. When I got to the hotel, they did not have a room and had been fully booked with no availability for 3 days.

Very rude unhelpful front desk. Specifically, the white older female, she was extremely rude when I called to ask a question regarding checkin, btw unprovoked. She also is unkempt, not a good look in the hospitality business! Zero customer service and her trainee a white middle aged male was not the best either. They obviously disregarded my request for a quiet room because they put us right by the elevator. You need to do better!!!!! See my notes above I unfortunately overpaid for this stay!! Poor customer service

All of the staff were very friendly and attentive! The quality of the breakfast items was disappointing. The location of the hotel was wonderful. Overall, the cleanliness of the hotel was good, but attention needs to be given to the dust accumulating on the tops of surfaces such as headboards, lamps, picture frames, and other flat surfaces other than tabletops. Also, most offensively, were dark stains on the desk chair seat which appeared to be body fluid emanations (we covered the seat with a folded bedspread before sitting on it).

We arrived at 2:15 and asked if we could check in early. We were told that there was a room available--but there was an early check-in fee of $75.00. That soured the rest of our visit.

I booked the wrong dates on Expedia and immediately tried to get a refund but the hotel would not return my call or entertain a change of dates or refund despite I am a Hilton Honors member.

Because another guest extended their stay in the room we were booked in, we were upgraded to a very nice suite at no extra cost to us. It was perfect for our stay. The desk staff is absolutely wonderful. As far as comfort, the air conditioner unit did not keep the room at a steady temperature. It would get very stuffy before the unit would kick back on. That’s my only complaint.

My husband thoroughly enjoyed breakfast. Great variety and plenty of seating inside or outside. I was at the UVA Battle Building for a procedure.

We stayed here because of an appointment at UVA Medical Center. The suite was beautiful. The floor plan was perfect. The dual zone ac for the bedroom vs the living area was so thoughtful. The staff so kind. Now, even if you’re having a medical procedure and need more time, they do not allow late check outs. Just an fyi so you’re prepared. Not a complaint bc they use that time to make it soooo clean!!!!

We liked the location. It was in the center of everything we wanted to do. We were very pleased with the front desk staff. Autumn was wonderful -- very friendly and helpful.
