My favorite hotel at UVA. Love the lobby and common spaces (cozy fireplace areas), the gardens are beautiful and the rooms are pretty. The restaurant was not staffed well for breakfast…so plan for extra time to be seated and served.

Poor customer service.

Weather caused the hotel restaurant to stop serving, including room service. Instead of letting customers know they just kept taking orders and not delivering. For a hotel of this level, it was annoying and very poor service. For breakfast, no grab and go coffee options.
