Residence Inn by Marriott Charlottesville Downtown

Exceptional

Very noisy room

Liked: Breakfast
Disliked: 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

Nice big hotel in the...

Liked: I had a convention at the Omni( which is much more expensive) and the Marriott was Right in front. Besides being next to the walking mall downtown.Very practical.The staff is super nice and helpful.It is a beautiful hotel.The rooms are big and useful.It's clean. Breakfast is very rich. Nice gym and pool.
Disliked: I have to admit that I have not been to the States in the last 20 years, so it was a shock for me to see the increase of the prices . It is a very nice hotel but a bit overpriced...compared to what I used to pay years ago, but reasonably priced compared to the other hotels nearby. The mattress was a bit full of craters ( holes).

Definitely one of the best...

Liked: Breakfast was perfect and they started at 6:30.
Disliked: Used to be coffee available 24, not anymore

Superb

Absolutely NOT a $400 per...

Liked: The location is the only thing good about this facility. It's walkable to anything that's downtown-ish and close to the campus.
Disliked: The room was poorly maintained - the door frame to the bathroom was falling apart, there was mold in the group of the shower, towels were dirty and stained, kitchen utensils were not clean.

Very good

Right in the heart of...

Liked: 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.
