Very disappointed in the cleanliness of this room. As a matter of fact, this was the dirtiest hotel room my family and I have stayed in. There was trash left under the desk from a previous guest, an unknown yellow liquid on the side of the tub and floor, and hair all over the floors. I would never stay here again, and would not recommend it to anyone else.

On the positive side, Charlottesville's historic downtown area was quite nice. We found some great food there. We highly recommend the restaurant Rapture---the food was great and the service fantastic! We also enjoyed the gellato at Spendora--Yum!

We visited the Cavalier Inn during a brief trip to Charlottesville/Monticello and enjoyed our stay very much. The property was easy to find (even after dark) and every staff member we encountered was friendly and helpful. The Inn is right near the heart of the the UVA campus (an easy 10 minute walk to the Rotunda) and within easy reach of historic downtown thanks to the free trolley service that stops at the Rotunda approximately every 15 minutes.

As a family of four (2 adults and 2 kids ages 6 and 10) we found the room and linens were clean and well appointed, the beds were comfortable and everything worked like it should. The free continental breakfast offered a nice variety, was fresh, well stocked and served in a comfortable dining room. Be prepared, though...at peak times during breakfast, seating can be a challenge.

All this and at a very reasonable price. We stayed 2 nights for under $200 (a true bargain after spending 6 nights in the Baltimore/DC area!). The Cavalier Inn tops the list for our next visit to Charlottesville!

We were originally going to stay at the Hamptom Inn, but decided to save a few bucks and get a more convenient location by switching to the Best Western.

It was, all in all, fine. The hotel is very convenient to the campus, and about 10 minutes from Monticello. The room was pretty much as expected -- clean, the usual amenities, a decent breakfast. The only real complaint was with the a/c, which was quite noisy. (This was a problem in several hotels on our trip -- must be a Virginia thing ...)

If I was going to stay longer than one night I might go for something a bit more flash, but for a place to sleep and grab breakfast, this hotel more than met our needs.

We stayed as tourists and the hotel was conveniently located for this. Its on R29 at Ivy, and from there it's about a 10-minute walk to the magnificent Rotunda at the university (worth a visit in its own right). From there, the free 'trolley' will take you about another mile east to the downtown area. The hotel is hard on R29, which is a very busy road, and although they have glassed in the external walkways which give access to the rooms, light sleepers might find this side noisy; in that case, ask for the rear side.
The room was of good size, with two large, comfortable beds. The decor is rather dark so things can appear a bit gloomy, notwithstanding large exterior windows. We though bathroom appointment was fine. We found the aircon fan extremely noisy, a definite drawback.
Reception staff were very friendly and helpful.
There is a business centre with two internet terminals but the internet service suffers from the fact it's part of the university's system (the university owns the hotel) and, infuriatingly, the system will only access websites pre-approved by the university, which effectively renders the system practically useless.
A good continental buffet breakfast was provided.
We enjoyed our stay here and, at $85+, we thought it was good value.
