If you have any business to do with UVa, Budget Inn might be the best choice other than Cavalier which costs a lot more. Otherwise you should consider futher up Emmet St North where there are a wider range of hotels/motels to choose from. Price wise it is not cheap but still relatively low compare to many other hotel chains,... More

I have stayed at the Budget Inn a number of times. First time I went to visit my son who was attending UVA I stayed at the Cavalier across the street. The Cavalier was noisy, cost more and a garbage truck woke me up at 5:00 a.m. If you want fancy, go elsewhere. If you want a place that is... More

My husband and I have stayed here on about 6 trips to Charlottesville over the past 20 years. The same extended family has owned the motel throughout that time period. They are friendly. The rooms are small but clean, and the price is affordable. We prefer the second floor to avoid the sounds of footsteps overhead. Our room had soap,... More

Small two story budget style hotel across the road from the Cavalier Inn. So great location for the University. Well lit for safety. Its basic, but they have spent some money on making it more comfortable and the money was spent on important visible items. New microwave. Good size SANYO flat screen TV. Fridge. Room safe (that didn't work). Hairdryer... More

This motel is a good value. Clean and reasonable, can't ask for much more. I would stay again but I am moving into an apt here in town. More

Looking for a room in Charlottesville, found most of the less expensive ( under $100) allowed for pets. Speaking honestly, I doubt anyone cares where their dog urinates in a hotel room, not to mention the fleas etc. It's nasty! After checking and smelling a few of those hotels, was ready to bike the bullet and stay at the holiday... More

Stayed here 1 night when visiting Monticello. Reception was friendly & efficient & the room was adequate. Hey, for $59/night, we didn't expect the Ritz Carlton. The location was convenient & the view out of our window was the soccer field where we could watch practice. The hotel was virtually on the U VA campus, which we unfortunately did not... More

While the location is close to UVA, the hotel is in disrepair. We felt unsafe during our stay. The walls and sheets were dirty and the air/heat unit was noisy, and odorous. The hotel is on a busy, noisy street, which you can hear in your room. A train runs literally in back of the hotel (look at a satellite... More

Dear Guest, Your comments are appreciated but the reality is that you booked via Expedia and the 2 night stay with "CANCEL BY 4PM 3 DAYS PRIOR TO ARRIVAL" policy in effect. Based on the hotel policy, a refund was not issued for the 2nd night. On Mon Oct 31, 2011 we cordially discussed your reservation and I directed you... More
