The room was clean. We asked to be moved as there was a noisy party in the room directly above ours. The desk clerk promptly moved us. I had just had surgery at UVA and needed a peaceful night. The lotion proved by the hotel had been used prior to my opening it. It was almost empty. Needless to say, I discarded it.

10/10 stay! Clean, spacious suite rooms. Very kind, professional staff. Some rooms are pet-friendly, which I needed for this trip. Walkable to the downtown outdoor mall area which was great. Good continental breakfast. Would 100% recommend and would definitely stay again!

I recently stayed at the Fairfield Inn & Suites in Charlottesville and was genuinely impressed by the quality of the room. From the moment I walked in, it was clear that cleanliness is a top priority here. The space was spotless — fresh linens, dust-free surfaces, and a well-maintained bathroom.
