I was in Charlottesville for my neices graduation last weekend. As soon as you opened the door to the room the smell of cigarette smoke hit you in the face. We requested a non smoking room but I am sure we weren't given one. My daughter immediately checked the sheets, bedboards and mattress. Meanwhile there were 4 mattresses sticking out... More

The only reasons I booked this motel was location and price, being the cheapest of the 3 inns closest to UVA campus. After I checked in then I realised that the internet has not been working for more than a month and the front desk has no clue on how soon it will be fixed. Apparently the management have been...

Let's face it, when all other hotels are over $85 a night in the area you're happy to find a cheap motel at $45 !!! Of course the walls are very thin and you can hear everything (yes, everything!!!) in rooms on each side and over you!!! So simply put the fan to high and put your ear plugs (really... More

We reserved a room here because it was close to UVA Hospital and was really affordable. The room that we got was descent - flat screen TV, fridge, microwave. Off the bat, the bathroom was not cleaned very well and the carpets were in desperate need of cleaning themselves. That picture on their website of the pool is just laughable!... More

I have stayed at this Econo Lodge several times in the past, but this was the first time I stayed there for about 2.5 years. It used to be a great value--not too expensive, but still clean and nice. However, this is no longer the case. The first thing we did when we checked in was kill a couple of... More

Well, we don't really expect a lot for $90 since we're going to see a concert, but not having a light in the bathroom for the duration of the stay was not acceptable. By the way, taking a shower in a small hotel room with no light is not good either! I tried to get over the fact that a... More

This place is in need of a total refurbishment from the foundations up and rebuilt...The room smelt of stale smoke and damp. I did go and complain and the receptionist did offer to come and spray the room with febreeze... We slept fully clothed on top of the beds as they were as bad as the room. The pool had... More
