The hotel is super nice and very typical of Marriott properties. It's a Residence Inn so of course it's really a little efficiency apartment which was perfect in terms of space and amenities. We chose it because it is dog friendly and it is very near the pedestrian mall area. There is on site parking in a lot and a garage and there is a nearby grassy area to walk dogs. All the staff we very friendly and helpful. It is worth noting that the hotel is on a very busy corner with traffic lights in downtown Charlottesville. Our dog friendly room was on the second floor (great for easy access for potty breaks) and overlooked one of the side streets where there was noise from traffic stopping and starting at the light. This is to be expected in a busy city, and we are not light sleepers so this did not bother us. If you are a light sleeper though, ask for a room away from the corner or maybe one on a higher floor.

Bummer we couldn’t‘t stay longer to really enjoy facilities

Walking distance to mall, spacious rooms, well equipped (kitchen), comfortable bed, good selection for breakfast with particularly nice service. We met A person, who was on a longer stay and we can understand why

When we visited before the pandemic, the hotel had a bar and happy hour. We were expecting the same, but it has stopped offering them.

The hotel is well maintained and in a great location.

I would have enjoyed having fruit and stronger coffee.

I really enjoyed the breakfast and all the options.

My room on the 3rd floor was on the quieter part of the hotel but windows are anything but soundproof- could hear a concert in the distance and cars on the road below. This was my only real complaint.

Convenient location; modern spacious lobby; great breakfast though I’m personally not a fan of thin omelette turnovers. Great variety and delicious oatmeal with every topping imaginable. Parking only $10 and was able to leave car in lot for 4 hours after checking out. Very nice kitchenette and plenty of electric outlets everywhere. Well lit parking lot.

I did not like being charged for parking and not being told about it when making the reservation. That was annoying.

The breakfast was very good. Croissant sandwiches with egg and ham or egg and sausage were good. Enjoyed that there was fruit also. Scrambled eggs were good - did not taste like the powdered kind. The women who worked helping with breakfast were very friendly and nice. Natalie at the front desk was great - very helpful. Wonderful customer service.

Coffee always cold …

I hadn't checked the website fully so I didn't realise there was no bar or restaurant. Ideally they would have a shower/changing room option at the pool too.

. Rooms were great, spacious with full cooking facilities. Location was superb, 2 mins walk from downtown. Nice continental breakfast but 9am finish time was too early in my opinion. Not a huge selection but enough for our needs

Every Marriott I stay in needs luggage racks or a bench to place your luggage on. I hate having to put my dirty suitcase on the bed to unpack. You have beautiful white linen and I’m afraid I’ll ruin it.

The bed is comfortable and the down feather pillows are awesome.

The pull out bed was not pleasant and I do wish some complementary water bottles would have been given to the guest.

Breakfast was good and staff was friendly.

The price per night was astronomical due to Family Weekend at UVA.

They gave us a very noisy room, and despite requesting a change several times, they refused, arguing that the hotel was fully booked. This may have been true the first two days (it was the weekend), but false the next two days, as it wasn't fully booked. We didn't feel they were accommodating our just and logical request. Bad

Used to be coffee available 24, not anymore

Breakfast was perfect and they started at 6:30.

The location is perfect for exploring downtown Charlottesville. The rooms are comfortable and spacious and the staff were friendly and welcoming.

I am allergic to dogs with asthma if I am exposed. I was told, when I made the booking, that the hotel would be advised to try to find a room that hadn’t had dogs for the last few guests—that notes to that effect would go to the hotel. When I arrived the front desk said no notes had arrived, and that there was only room left that could might have had a dog. I suffered from asthma all night. Thanks for nothing!

Sometimes noisy given the prime location, but minor annoyance

Very comfortable room and amenities.

The hotel is strategically located downtown, beautifully decorated, and offers large common areas indoors and out. Every corner is comfortable and enjoyable. The pool was well equipped and heated. The minimal hiccup was our room: beautiful but felt a little tight... after adding a pack & play for my 7 months old baby. Our bed was a little too cushy, probably what most people prefer, we like a firm mattress. But everything else was just great. Finally the staff was incredible and room service was outstanding. All our room requests were fulfilled in no time.
