Front desk was rude, gave us a key to someone else’s room, changed the price of the rooms on the fly and negotiated. Rooms were not that clean, beds are terrible. Only stay if you are desperate

For what you would expect from an basic econolodge. I gave 5 based on what they are. They are a 2 star motel. Compared to other 2 star motels they are a 5 star rating. Renovated and in good condition and they care.

Just okay for price

Very helpful staff.

I have nothing bad to say

Nice people and clean rooms I have nothing bad to say

Staff was great.

It was a very good location, there were two good restaurants, right next-door, and it was very very clean. There was no iron. Too much noise from the upstairs occupants. There was no iron

Clean, good location. I accidentally booked two rooms, because I thought the first one didn’t show up. Staff charged me for both rooms- promised a refund on one - hasn’t happened yet.

No breakfast at this motel, but coffee and juice in the lobby. Many restaurants are nearby.

NOT THE HOTEL'S FAULT. The ice machine broke (requiring a wet vac) and housekeeping didn't have a chance to clean my room twice, provide fresh towels and I had to go to the drive desk for them.

Property is fine if you're looking for a cheap place to crash when in town for a show. Bring an air freshener as the bleach smell in the room is strong. Could be worse at least it's clean.

Id stay again

Outlet didn’t work Fan vent dirty No gym Even tho website advertised one Minimal breakfast with no seating area

The beds were comfortable and complimentary toiletries of good quality were provided. There's also an excellent chinese restaurant right across the parking lot.

Breakfast toast, butter Muffin, and spread coffee was available for different fruit drinks Told to get our drinksr and breakfast and go back to our room??? The nighttime attendant was extremely unsociable every time we encountered him. Room was updated and very nice.

We were booked for two nights, but after the first night, I booked another hotel room. The room had a stale smell gap underneath the door where bugs and stuff we’re coming through. Beds were hard.

The room was fine. The morning breakfast barely had anything. The staff did not seem to care at all. We were there for the UVA family weekend and for two rooms we had paid over 400 dollars. For the money we paid, the quality of the service we got during breakfast was pathetic.

Amazing value. We were in town for a wedding, and this had the perfect location and a shockingly nice quality room despite the relatively low price compared to hotels next door.

Rooms brand new and great. First floor great, but heard walking from upper floor. toilet sounded like it was flushing all night like every 20 minutes which woke me up. It wasn’t really flushing. People very nice. Outside a work in progress. I would come back.

After reserving a room for 4 nights, I was not allowed to reserve a hotel room for August 25th-August 29th, 2025. Not sure why. When I go to hotels, I mind my own business and I stay to myself unless this is a Fraud or ID Theft situation. I asked the front desk what did I do wrong? What brought on that decision? Am I being confused with someone else? This is frightening. The front desk clerk said that I was being excluded from both the Super 8 Motel and the English Inn (where I've never reserved a room). Something is definitely wrong. What is going on?to reserve

It was a pretty convenient stay in terms of location to food spots and landmarks, especially the hibachi place next door which was pretty good. The beds were comfortable and the space was clean. The only issue we had was with one of our keycards not unlocking the room, leading us to be locked out. Luckily the other half of our group was in the room and could open the door to let us back in. Besides that, it was a great value for the quality we received.

Had no complaints at all about the stay. I was a late check in and had called and told them I would be late. So had no problems checking in. I had asked for a room on the first floor as I don't handle stairs well at the moment and they accommodated me, which I thought was nice. Room was clean, staff friendly. Outside was a bit noisy but they can't control that. I would definitely recommend and will most likely being staying here again.

The room was clean overall. No 1st floor rooms available. No accessible rooms meant climbing stairs which hurt my back quite a bit. Toilet kept refilling but never heard leak. Fridge door wouldn't close even when empty. Kept hearing fridge trying to keep items cool. Not a restful night. Cheap price. You definitely get what you pay for.

Also the non-smoking rooms still smell like smoke and there's evidence like burns on the tubs that they were formerly smoking rooms. Just manage your expectations with this place. It works for a crash pad but def request an uptairs room.

This is an older property - think 70s motel-style. But it is very clean and the staff are friendly. The sheets are probably from the 70s though - could use an update - towels not far behind. But reasonable price and handy!

Staff was rude when I had to get a new keycard after they deactivated my original. The rooms were old and dirty it also smelled of cigarettes. This hotel was definitely the worst I’ve experienced in Charlottesville and I will never come back here.

This is a simple, no frills, kind of place. The room was very clean and comfortable. Check in was easy and the front desk staff were friendly. There was even a light, continental breakfast provided each morning. I definitely recommend this hotel.

My card was charged twice, thankfully the lady on night shift handled this for me. There are burnholes in the comforters, the microwave looked to be from over 40 years ago and would not recommend cooking in it. The drawers were broken, and burn marks on the bathtub. However a brand new sink basin and hot water and pressure were good. I left my phone in the room this last saturday and had to return to pick it up. Arrived, my door was wide open, walked in and a guy was holding my tanning goggles and just looked at me when I walked in, did not even put them down and just looked at me, asked them to leave, and they could not understand me, as I do not speak much spanish. Luckily only needed a place to sleep so I could work doubles but would not recommend.

Nice experience. Rooms were clean.

I really liked the price for this room. It's right off the highway which made getting in and out a breeze. Room was clean and well maintained. For $79 I was more than happy with it.

Only two issues. Toilet loose and sink stopper inoperable. Otherwise room was clean and comfortable.

It looks like the bathroom and sink area had been recently remodeled. Very clean and neat. The room was pleasant. Bed was good. Furnishings were contemporary. AC and TV worked well. It even had a microwave and a small fridge. Nice and quiet in the evenings for a good night’s sleep. I was very pleased. Continental breakfast provided. It was the least expensive motel, and was well worth the money. I stayed alone and felt pretty safe in the area. June 2023.

When we arrived I was pleasantly surprised at the cleanliness of our room. The bathroom looked recently remodeled and everything was spotless. The front staff was friendly and professional. Breakfast was better than expected with hot water for oatmeal, fresh fruit, yogurt and an assortment of breads and bagels. Our microwave and fridge didn't work perfectly but everything important was great. We also enjoyed the nearby Rivanna trail we could walk to from the Econolodge.

Clerk was very polite and helpful. The room was clean, except for crums where the tv sits on the cabinet. The air conditioning could not be adjusted below 76 degrees F. So after dark I opened the door to cool the room.

Nice room. Microwave, fridge and everything is available.

Hotel is not in great shape. The rooms r ok but you can hear the people in the room above you just walking around in their room and it sounds like a herd. The bathroom sealing has brown stuff on the ceiling that would drip down if you take any temp of shower. Vent looks like it had not been cleaned in ages. The floor was covered in crumbs from the moment we walked in. To make matters worse is that they demand that u leave your room every three days from them to mandatory clean. Which does not to be helping with the cleanliness. Plus I work night shift and got kicked out for two hours the first time they cleaned. The second time it would have been five hours if I had not gone to the front desk about it. When I got told rudely by the manager that my trash from the last cleaning was too heavy that's why this had to be done. The compromise so that I could sleep to go to work was to let them clean at 10 the next day, and the manager could not even remember to mention this to the maids or that she even talked to me. I was told rudely not to return because I didagreed with her about being kicked out of my room for cleaning, when I need to sleep for work. I took out my own trash the entire stay, their the maids had one bag to take out the whole stay. Don't waste your time or money. Plenty of other hotels in the area.

lF YOU HATE DOGS, THEN PUT THAT ON YOUR WEB SITE I WAS ASKED TO LEAVE BECAUSE MY DOG WAS SITTING OUTSIDE AND OWNER COULD NOT SEE ME SITTING RIGHT THERE. SPEAKING WITH HER. MORE BUGS INSIDE THAN OUT. The ADA should be notified. Rescue squad was there twice for same person, lights, sirens, no sleep, yelling, fighting upstairs, with no door lock, i was frightened.

Everything was great except the pillows. Too soft.

The staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating. I had a very late arrival and they volunteered to move their own car to create parking for me. Above and beyond service!

The property was clean and located close to the Expressway, Kroger, Starbucks, Trader Joe's, etc. A variety of places to visit. The gentleman at the front was not rude but also was not friendly.

Cleaning staff would clean your room every day.

Would not stay here again. Price was cheap so you get what you pay for…..

We thought the gentleman who checked us in was friendly and professional, and really tried to meet our needs. The beds were comfortable, and the room was clean and attractive.

Thought we had the temperature set correctly but woke up at 5:00A very cold.

Questionable area.

This motel is pretty run-down for the over $200 cost. Not like the Econolodges I’ve stayed in before, which have had extensive free breakfast. This place just had stale bagels.

convenient to the airport

The hotel was safe, clean, and convenient. Not at all fancy, but a perfectly fine place to spend the night

Was acceptable for the price. Breakfast pretty skimpy but room was satisfactory.

Do not go here...ever. Dirty, seedy and in a bad part of town

Clean and quiet room. No shower curtain in my room.

I had just stayed 3 nights and checked out. I needed to wait for an Uber to pick me up and I asked the girl working at the desk if I could sit at the table in the lobby and wait (the 2 table chairs were upside down on top of the table). She told me I couldn't; they didn't allow that (or something similar). I just paid for 3 nights and I was not allowed to sit in the lobby and wait 5 to 15 minutes for a ride. You've got to be kidding me. What a lousy attitude to have towards a customer.

The location was convenient to major thoroughfares Routes 29, 250 and Interstate 64. Plenty of choices in places to eat.

It was better than I expected. The room was very clean, it looked to be recently renovated and close to 64 and downtown.

No Complaint

Hotel was very rude. Booked this hotel for a medical appt and 4 hrs before arrival I called to confirm the booking and inform them of an arrival time. I was told the hotel was booked for the incorrect date and nothing could be done, card was already charged and was placed as a "no show" in the system.

The beds were comfortable! Not fancy but all we needed for one night . Free ice and also free breakfast!

Way way over priced, in need of more updates and better parking. We had to park on the street because we had a 12 ft. utility trailer. Super expensive for what we got. Bathroom tiny, holes in the door, grout dirty, light switches just gross with dirt. Beds so hard you could have slept on the floor and been more comfortable. Double beds, with stains on sheets. Gross

Disliked: beds/pillows

Clean, beautifully rennovated room. Comfortable bed with comfy sheets. Very quiet despite being next to busy highway. I gove it a 5/5 in its category.

I stay there every week and it is always clean and staff is very friendly.
