“Decent Stay at this Hotel”

Days Inn University Area

Save Review
3 of 5 stars
Charlottesville, VA
6 Apr 2008

A decent hotel with basic amenties and located right on Route 29.

This hotel has a Red Lobster in it so you can get steak and seafood while you stay here.

The best thing was the massive pool area this hotel has.

The biggest pool area of all the hotels in Charlottesville.

Don't expect 5 star service, but you'll get your moneys worth at this hotel.

1/2 found this review helpful

I stayed at this Days Inn on 12/01/07 and found it to be just what I needed - clean, comfortable accommodations. The inn is a bit older, and it is clearly showing it's age, but I really could give a flip about curtains, upholstery and such. The TV worked, the bed was comfortable, the alarm clock woke me and the shower was hot. Clean towels, plenty of soap, and an in-room coffeemaker.


Nothing TRAUMATIC, nothing dirty, smelly or unclean, so I didn't have to sleep in my car. It’s not glamorous, but it’s worth it for the price.

“Days Inn -- Met our needs”

Days Inn University Area

27 Nov 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

We recently spent 10 nights in mid-October at the Days Inn while exploring the Charlottesville area. We found it to be convenient for exploring. The bed was comfortable. It wasn't fancy, but the price was very right and adequately met our needs. The front desk was pleasant and helpful. And on the last day we checked out a bakery/luncheon place called Hot Cakes that was fabulous. It's lucky we didn't discover it at the beginning of our travels, as we would have probably eaten too many pastries during our stay.

“Traumatic experience”

Days Inn University Area

9 Oct 2007
2/3 found this review helpful

This place is TERRIBLE, chronically unclean and in poor repair. My mother-in-law made the mistake of staying here while in town for my wedding and was greeted with a filthy bed -- I mean, as she lifted the bedspread she saw HUMAN MATTER which means they don't really trouble themselves to change bed sheets here. Stay at your own risk.

I and my mother-in-law repeatedly tried to contact the manager about this HORRIBLE, TRAUMATIC incident, and were rewarded with 50% off our next stay at that Days Inn. Incredible.

2/2 found this review helpful

I booked this place for a spur of the moment Labor Day trip to Charlottesville, and after I read the reviews on here I was terrified. I don't know where all of the low reviews came from because my experience was very positive.

It's an older motel (as in, the doors are outside), but once I walked into the room I felt like I was in any other mid-grade hotel. The room was very tidy, the sheets were fresh and clean, the only stains I saw weren't stains at all (it was one little chip in the bath tub), the staff was pleasant, and the only noise I heard was no different than anywhere else (an occasional voice of someone walking by or a slamming door).

I'd definitely stay here again because it was quite cheap. It's nothing fancy, but nothing unpleasant at all.
