    This hotel was so cute! Had a very boutique/b&b vibe. Our room was right next to the pool and patio, which was an excellent location! The pool was the perfect temp and Tyler killed it with the pool drinks and bar drinks. They do require you valet your car, but it was only $15! Would definitely come back when I'm in Charlottesville!

    At the time of booking, we requested a baby crib and the hotel confirmed that one would be provided. We arrived at the hotel late at night with our baby asleep, and when we entered the room there was no crib installed. Instead, they showed us a baby walker toy and told us that was the crib. They also told us that Housekeeping had supposedly taken care of setting it up. That same night, they assured us the issue would be resolved, but not only did they fail to do so, when we later spoke with the assistant manager she claimed that I had sent the request through Booking.com and that they do not see those messages. As a result, I had to sleep on the floor so that my baby could sleep safely in the bed. The following day, the hotel manager called us to admit that they had in fact received our message, but that they had run out of cribs. They went out to buy one that same day and left it in our room still inside the box, expecting us to assemble it ourselves. Our compensation for the inconvenience: a $40 breakfast credit. Room rate: US$1,200 per night. This was the worst hotel experience of my life — and I have been traveling for 40 years and work in the hotel industry myself.

    You get a free drink voucher. I recommend using it at the Inn's bar. The Inn has a lovely lounge and bar. The Inn attendants were both the loveliest of people; having to man a lot on their own.The baristas at the Cafe affiliated with the lnn completely ruined my (this has been a perfect stay) vibe; they may have just been having an off day though. Just know exactly what you want when you walk in and don't speak to them again after your order has been placed. Then I suppose things will go better. Other than that I'm sure you will have a lovely stay.

    The location was very nice. The check in process and the valet were great and efficient. The bartender was very nice and made very good drinks. The room had enough room for two. The the bathroom and the shower was spacious. The bed wasn't all that comfortable. It was a matress on slats without a box spring. The floor to the room creaked which was expected in an old building. People in the other rooms could be heard and people walking up and down the halls could be heard easily.

    We absolutely loved our stay at Oakhurst. The property is beautiful, quiet without feeling sleepy, and incredibly well maintained. The café is outstanding, and the rooms are comfortable, thoughtfully designed, and well appointed. The location is perfect, an easy walk to UVA grounds. Valet parking was seamless and convenient. The décor strikes a perfect balance of stylish and inviting, and the staff was genuinely warm and welcoming. The pool and sauna were fantastic touches. Overall, it delivers an elevated, boutique feel at a great value and feels effortlessly refined without being over the top. Honestly, very little. If anything, just wish we had more time to enjoy everything the property offers.

    We only stayed one night. The staff was professional and helpful. But some things were lacking. The staff was not ABC licensed to serve liquor, beer and wine was the only option. The coffee pot in the lobby was broken. We had to rely on the instant packets in our room which did not fit the hot water pitcher. The staff was able to find different coffee packs but the coffee was terrible. Valet worked fine. Room was comfortable but small and the TV was maybe 32" we didnt use it. Our room was very close to the sidewalk and that made it a bit uncomfortable with curtains having to be drawn for privacy. I expected a bit more. It is not a traditional big chain hotel experience but more of a boutique.

    The room was clean, but not bright and the temperature on the air conditioning unit was not controllable even after getting assistance. The staff was very nice and helpful. There is only valet parking which is charged at $15/day. There is no breakfast on the premises, but they do have a cafe within walking distance that serves great breakfasts at a cost.

    What’s not abundantly clear about this property, if you’re staying there for the first time, is that it is largely a valet parking situation. And sometimes it’s difficult to coordinate with the front desk as to when you want your vehicle brought around… This is largely because there’s usually only one person working in the front desk and they may be somewhere else on property helping another guest. I would recommend reading carefully the city of Charlottesville street parking signs around the circle where the hotel is, because you could luck out on the weekend and be able to just park your vehicle yourself. However, they don’t tell you about that when you’re checking in. The only other slight complaint I have with OHI, is we had an air conditioning issue in our room, the unit was not pumping out any cold air, but only heat, no matter what the setting was. And it took two days to resolve and at one point required the front desk to monitor the temperature in our room remotely through an app, which wasn’t ideal. We ended up sleeping with the window cracked, and luckily it was cold enough outside that the room remained comfortable. Overall though, nice stay. I would recommend to others, but would make others aware of things like the parking.

    What a great location! Walking distance to UVA's central campus, to Main Street, to the hospital. Valet parking only, which usually drives me nuts but the staff here was so quick with grabbing my car that I didn't mind. Friendly and happy to recommend restaurants. Great cafe on property and a bar in the main building, which we didn't try but looked gorgeous. Fantastically comfortable bed. Would absolutely stay here again.

    The room was clean and fine, but they were short staffed. Being short staffed was not a huge deal, but we had a tour that ended at 11:30 so we asked for a late check out of noon. The normal check out time was 11:00 so we only asked for an extra hour. We were told that we could stay until 11:30 but if we stayed until noon it would be a charge of $75 which seemed unreasonable to me.

    Our room was clean and the staff was super friendly and courteous. We did hope that our room had a microwave and refrigerator. It makes sense to have that available in every room on the grounds. Guests I’m sure would appreciate it. Please consider doing this. Lastly, we could here noises above us from possibly furniture that wasn’t secure. Footsteps are understandable, but the rattle of something above room 5 was a bit annoying. This is probably an eat fix. Overall the property was safe, clean and convenient.

    Overall, a decent property. It's in a very old building that was refurbished a little over ten years ago. It's starting to show need for repairs. For example, a portion of the shutters was broken in the bathroom window. The metal support at the base of the bathroom sink was off center. Our room was located behind the front desk, and there was a lot of noise in the early morning hours. Not sure if it was the front desk staff or the person in the room above us who we could here walking around on the wood floors. Having said all that, the staff at Oakhurst was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast at the cafe (not included in our rate) was first rate, and the service there was fantastic. This was a very convenient location in the heart of the University. A nice place to stay just not sure of the overall value for the price.

    There was “NO HEAT”!!!! We checked into Guest room Number 32. The temperature of the room when we entered was 55 degrees. After touring Monticello and being outside on a cool fall day, this was crazy!! We tried to “turn up” the temperature but it would not turn on. When we told the front desk about, they offered a small space heater for us to use while they investigated. Meanwhile, the breaker tripped while we were using the space heater and we lost power in our room. We went back to the to the front desk, which they flipped the switch on the breaker. The heat never turned on and we ended up leaving the hotel to go to another one. Also, the pictures listed on Expedia under the King Bed Guest Room are not an accurate depiction of the actual room. There is no separate bedroom and a living room as pictured. I booked the King Bed Guest Room as listed on the website and was very surprised when we checked in to see that we did not receive that room. When we asked at the front desk about it, we were told the living room pictured was a “common space.” In my opinion, this was an inaccurate listing for the type of room you get. We ended up staying at the Omni and had the perfect stay.

    Off season, this stay was nice. The room was large, with two sitting areas and 3 AC units. Quaint, with a historic feel and cute pool area and bar. Staff friendly and accommodating for dogs. Lots of green space for the pup. Their nearby cafe was a highlight for breakfast. A few amenities were a bit lackluster, the room type we booked was King but the bed was only Full even though the room itself (03) was large with the extra seating areas. No in room fridge. The most inconvenient is the parking situation. Its now mandatory valet, so getting in and out is slow. If youre on a relaxed timetable, its ok, but would have preferred just to park on the steet to have easy access to our car. They also park it under sap trees, so that leaves your car a mess.

    There was a nice looking bar and we had drinks by the pool. It was a bit of a walk to our building and our room was down a flight of stairs. They did offer to help with our bags. The parking is mandatory valet. Our building was like an old home with solid wood doors and old hardware. I hadn't used a real metal key in a hotel in quite a while but it was fine. It was quiet and there was a nice cafe/restaurant on the property. We only had coffee drinks and food to go but it was nice. The staff was very knowledable and friendly. I would recommend but be prepared that it's not your standard corporate chain, but that was nice for us.

Just another small example of the missed potential here. There were no fridges in the rooms, although I knew this going in. This would seem to be another simple upgrade that would really improve the experience. Overall, though, the place was nice and I would stay there again.

    We stayed overnight for a concert and were plenty happy with the Inn! The property and gardens surrounding the 3 buildings were beautifully curated and well maintained. Check-in, check-out and valet parking were easy and quick. All staff that we encountered were friendly and helpful. Our room was spacious, clean, and the blackout curtains were vital after a late night. I typically bring my own toiletries like shampoo/conditioner/body wash because not all hotels provide ones that are up to par, but I loved the ones provided at Oakhurst- everything smelled wonderful. We didn’t visit the cafe, but had local beers in the bar area before we ventured out for the concert at JPJ. With pre-event traffic, we decided to Uber to the arena (which was a short distance) but walked back to the Inn in an easy 20 minute walk. Would definitely recommend and would stay again!

    The property was old, had key entry. The room was clean. The bed was very comfortable. You could see light down the side of the door and underneath. Just needs updating on the doors and a mini fridge. My car was covered in tree sap and we only stayed one night. The employees were super nice and very helpful.

    There for an event at UVA, so location was convenient. Inn has separate buildings located around a cul-de-sac right off busy main thoroughfare. A local resident told us the Inn was originally UVA student housing which explains the “dorm-like “ feel of the room and sitting area. The renovated bathroom was well-done with a European vibe. Highlight was the Oakhurst Inn Cafe with amazing breakfast menu, easily walkable to separate building. Parking was “valet only” as location was in a busy area of the University.

    We checked in at 2 am and the front desk took forever. At one point we needed an item for the room and the staff waited outside the room until we were finished using it. The proximity to UVA is great but there are better options.

    This is exactly the stay that I wanted to have. It was a business trip back to Charlottesville but I was looking forward to seeing the University and visiting my old law school. I wanted something intimate that didn't feel like a chain hotel. My actual experience surpassed even those expectations. The room was fantastic and felt like a home. It was quiet except for maybe the very low rumble the train every now and then in the distance. It was just footsteps from the edge of the university. They had great common areas and a very nice staff. If I have to go back I'm definitely staying here

    Our room was cold, so cold that we slept in sweaters. When I told the front desk, the response was: Yes that’s been a problem. When asking for a refund because my child was released from the hospital a day early, they said they couldn’t do that. Also charged me twice the cost of Expedia when I lengthened the stay due to not knowing when he would get out. Will not return to your property. Only stayed there because it was walking distance from the hospital.

    Charming inn next to Univ. of VA. Sort of a rambling structure with multiple small buildings. Room was small, but well-decorated: wooden floors, minimalist but modern flavor. Nice shower; bed was a bit soft for my taste. Very quiet. On-site bar (lifeless) and cafe (good for brunches, coffee) are available. Inexpensive valet parking is available. Great location for access to college or downtown.

    It was so unexpected- I didn’t realize it was a house renovated. It was absolutely amazing. Clean- quiet -quaint place. I really think it was the best part of our trip! Staff was very courteous and helpful and on site 24-7. Furniture was darling and just perfect Hardwood floors with a rug. Nice bedside table lighting. Curtains for the windows. Crisp clean sheet and own thermostat with fan in room. Plenty of electrical outlets and desk. Large bathroom with super clean floor, pedestal sink, and large shower with great water pressure. Truly a hidden gem this place.

    A quaint inn that exudes a traditional warmth and charm. Our room was large and the bathroom was spacious and beautifully appointed. The staff was kind and helpful and the inn's cosy cafe had food so good I'd return just to eat there again. The bathroom was not as clean as I would like but my husband didn't notice so some of us are more particular than others. Don't let that negative keep you from staying at Oakhurst Inn as it really is lovely. Oh, and maybe bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper.

    The service was really poor too both with check in and check out and when I mentioned the conditions of the room at check out (giving the benefit of the doubt that this one room was an oversight and that they would want to know), all the staff member said was “did you park in the parking lot?” Which he then mentioned was an additional $15 (not mentioned in check in!) Wow! So disappointed and we are frequent visitors to Charlottesville.

    We stayed her 2 separate nights. It was so wonderful the first night, that we canceled our additional reservation in another city to come back for the last night of our trip. The first room was bright and clean! The second room was dirty, in a basement, smelled like cigars, overlooked the heat pumps for the building, and the toilet didn’t flush properly. We were so bummed out. Would probably stay again, but the property is inconsistent, so just be aware.

    We were very disappointed by this facility. Online the pictures showed a charming, quaint, cozy place. In reality it was not super comfortable. There were no chairs in the room at all. The only place to sit (other than the bed), was in common areas. I was expecting (based on online images) a large freestanding tub. Instead, we got step in shower with a too short curtain that sprayed water all over the floor.

Cable did go out and was not fixed for our stay, but the staff did their best about an even that was out of anyone's control. Would stay again and recommend this charming in to anyone who asks.

    Very good location next to UVA campus.At Check in there was a little confusion about how many rooms we had...ended up with one room in the basement of an outer building. It was large but the exposed water pipes going over the bed and the window view of a mildewed retaining wall left alot to be desired. Would be okay for college kids.....The property was lovely but would request a room in the main in next time. Pretty pool and great cafe get 5 stars. Parking is tight, a walk to the garage after dark is not ideal. Staff was friendly.

    Positives: The staff was lovely and very helpful! The bed was VERY comfortable with a lot of nice pillows to choose from. I definitely enjoyed being close enough to their cafe to walk to it in the morning. The parking is very close to the hotel so it’s not difficult at all to move your belongings inside. Negatives: There are some very large windows which, while nice to see outside and have some natural lighting, made the room feel very exposed especially as my room was on the ground floor and right next to the main road. I don’t think there’s much insulation in the older building because it was absolutely freezing at night, especially in the bathroom. (I had to close the door at night to avoid it sucking all the heat from the bedroom) While the bathroom was gorgeous, the water temperature wildly fluctuated between boiling hot and freezing cold with no happy middle. The fitted sheet on my bed was dirty, but I didn’t go to bed until quite late, so I didn’t notice until it felt like too late to ask for them to change it. Lastly (and this was on me for not checking ahead of time) the parking for one night was $16 which felt a bit excessive to me. I think it was an ok experience for the price I paid with gold membership Expedia discount, but think there definitely needs to be some changes before I would consider staying again.
