When I asked to check in early the desk clerk was so disinterested I wasn't sure if he was ignoring me, or checking for an available room. At last, he was, and booked me into a room. When I entered the room reeked of smoke, the sink was absolutely filthy, no trash can and the phone didn't work. I immediately... More

My wife and I stayed there as my father was in the University of Virginia Medical Center hospital. Other than the pool not open (Closed for some reason) the stay was OK for the money. Some of the guest were questionable and could possibly make you feel uncomfortable but the staff was very helpful. I will stay there again with... More

We booked this hotel for May 17-19, 2013 for UVA graduation weekend. What a terrible mistake! The first room they gave us had curtains half torn off the window and covered in live bugs. There was trash in the floor and the commode was running.I looked at the mattress and found a rip 2 feet long so we went back... More

It was a cheap room in a desirable location, so my expectations weren't very high. It was reasonably comfortable and I found the staff polite and accommodating, but if you're sensitive to the smell of smoke, I wouldn't recommend it. They first put me in a room that reeked of smoke. When I asked for another, the second one wasn't... More

I stayed at a cheap Econolodge in Fredericksburg last year, and was covered in bedbug bites by the time I left. Despite the poor reviews, I decided to take a chance on this Econolodge because of the price and location. It's an easy walk to UVA, restaurants, and shopping. Given the reviews, I anticipated rude staff, dirty rooms, and paper-thin... More

Many things about this hotel made me uncomfortable. The room smelled slightly of smoke, although it was a non-smoking room. The blankets looked dirty, so I removed them & slept just with sheets. The door did not appear to close completely, although the deadbolt did work. The toilet was not fully bolted into the floor & it tipped a bit... More

This is definitely not a luxury hotel, but it is the cheapest we could find in the Charlottesville area. The room was a decent size. It did have the musty, slightly smokey smell that you get in many cheaper hotels, even though it was a non-smoking room. I didn't feel the room was dirty, but you also don't get the... More

There was no hot water for shower the first night of our stay and we were told it was because too many people were using it at the same time. The sink would not drain when we arrived and we had to brush our teeth using bathtub tap. The sink did not have a stopper and anything could have fallen... More

Reserved two nights. The Internet confirmation had a 2 p.m. check-in time. Better be prepared to 2:50 p.m., or 3 p.m., or _____? Hair dryer advertised? Good luck finding one in your room.

The building is quite old. The rooms were large enough. The bed was marginal and the two pillows provided were very flimsy. The outside walk way smelled of smoke (that's not easy to do.) The employees were friendly and polite. We've stayed in much nicer $50 hotels. We only were staying one night but would have moved to another hotel... More
