We went to the Clifton to have our wedding and stay for a few nights to kick off our honeymoon. I felt really compelled to write a review because my husband seems to think most people only write a review when they want to complain. Overall, we had a great experience. The staff was friendly and were always ready to... more

The most lovely stay I have ever experienced. The staff exhibited the highest level of subtle, professional service. They were attentive to everything, without being intrusive. The grounds themselves were lovely - the perfect genteel surroundings. I had a room in the Carriage House - the Merriwether Suite - and I highly recommend it. It is a tribute to say... more

We stayed at the Inn for one night in late December. The Inn was quiet and located in a lovely part of Virginia with horse farms and wineries. We booked a low cost suite in an out-building and when we return will try a different room in the main house or another building. The room was nicely furnished but reminded... more

The Clifton is a worthy member of the Relais and Chateaux network. The main house is a gracious, columned country house that has been furnished with fine post-modern furniture and done with a European flair. One is made to feel welcome upon arrival and throughout the stay. The staff seem to be well trained in the kind of service I... more

wonderful inn and excellent restaurant but the outdoor grounds were not kept up - dead plants and shrubs all over and not once did we see any work being done. we stayed in the carriage house which looked cute from a distance but upon entering there we cigarette butts on the patio and inside the drapes had missing pins and... more

the Clifton Inn is simply the best inn or hotel in the Commonwealth of Virginia. It is a sublime experience. I am typically in Charlottesville to recruit investment bankers at the University of Virginia, and am demanding in terms of business services while staying at the Clifton. Every time I have stayed there, I have been thrilled with the property,... more

The Clifton Inn is a wonderful spot. We stayed in the Rivanna Suite in the Main House. The views were breathtaking. One view was of the mountains and the other overlooked the beautiful garden. I'm glad the cottages were booked because the main house was lovely and the sunset views amazing. We were right above the kitchen and never heard... more

Our stay at the Clifton Inn was delightful. The staff was exceptional. They cater to your every wish. Our gourment dinner was outstanding, as were afternoon tea and breakfast. What we loved was the portion size - it was so perfect and such a pleasant change from the enormous portions at many restaurants. You could actually eat every course and... more

We just returned from a 3 night stay at the Clifton and were quite sad to leave - everything about the stay greatly exceeded our already very high expectations. We are used to staying at top hotels like the 4 Seasons, Ritz and luxury boutiques and would rate Clifton as one of our favorites. The reasons we feel Clifton is... more
