Easy to park and check in however with check in staff were unsure about pet fees and never really checked us into the hotel until we were back from the event that brought us to the area, a second staff member stopped us and readdressed the fact that we had pets and if we were aware that additional fees would apply and asked for a credit card to be put on file. Overall, a messy check in process.

Weird dynamics with house keeping. House keeping did not clean after our first night. Early evening when we asked the front desk, they (completely unfazed) indicated that house keeping was winding down and that should have gotten done earlier(it did not). On our third day, they did a lackluster job with one of the beds and did not make our other queen bed.

We were here to see the Reba concert, as was 1/2 of VA., NC & WV. It seemed liked everyone arrived at check in and the line was extremely long. The clerks who assisted us were calm and efficient, management passed out free water and all the rooms were ready for us. The rooms were clean, and beds comfortable after a long night of singing. I’d definitely stay here again.

Might need better management
It was not the best once checked into our room we quickly realized that it had not been cleaned, both trash cans were full there was a wet rag in the shower from the previous tenet and one of the beds was not made. I didnt mind i figured theyre understaffed and just running a little behind so i told the front desk expecting that when i got back around midnight i would find a clean and ready room but to my surprise nothing got done.

Property is close to UVA which is a plus. Our shower door would not open or close without two of us forcefully moving it-should have been caught by housekeeping prior to us checking in. The handle completely dislodged. We reported it to front desk but door was not fixed. We found ants on our 2nd evening. Menu in restaurant/bar is limited and several items were not available. Food was good however. For $300 per night, very disappointed

Pleasant hotel but not near the university
This Holiday Inn is is a pleasant middle-priced hotel. It is convenient if you are driving to places in the Charlottesville area; but it is NOT the place to stay if you want to keep your car at the hotel and walk into, and around, the university area. The intersection it's at is too dangerous and too far from the college. Also, the hotel does not offer a breakfast on Mondays or Tuesdays; and you'll need to go elsewhere for it.

Good points: free airport shuttle that you need to book in advance, nice gym, clean property, nice room, so good for a 1-2 night stay. Trader Joes only 1 block away so the microwave could be used for heating food. Has recently been refurbished. However, the bar was only open 1 night of the 5 we stayed due to lack of staff, the air-conditioning was very fierce so eventually we got it shut off, the pool was closed for maintenance. Its a 10 min drive outside of downtown Charlottesville so we used Uber/lift a lot (no problems getting one). No room cleaning during the stay and no room service (I think this might be a COVID-related problem). Breakfast is an extra.

The hotel is a bit outdated. The beds are extremely uncomfortable. The doors where difficult to open because the card key system is outdated. We were moved to another room after we had settled in because the heating unit was broken. It would have been nice to have an acknowledgement from the front desk about the inconvenience but it was treated like a normal occurrence. Beds were uncomfortable in both rooms.

Lobby was nice; the room was spacious; they did clean the room and bathroom after we asked on the third day. However we were staying 6 nights there was only one set of towels for each of us. Also the bathtub had a stationary tub mat and there was black mold around it. Not a nice thing to see. After a couple of days we asked for another set of towels. We told them we would be back late evening and they instructed us to place the original set of towels on the floor outside our door and they would leave the fresh towels; but when we returned around 9:30 PM there were no towels. We had to call and then pick up the fresh towels.

The manager who checked us in was very nice, but that's about it for the positives. The bed was so old and cheap it was actually visibly caved in in the middle. The elevators were gross and smelled like weed. The pool is closed for "maintenance" but they don't tell you those things when you're booking the room. All in all, there are 47 other better places to stay in C'Ville for the similar price point. Oh, and the woman when we were leaving to check out was just terribly rude. Won't be back.

The room was comfy but in need of some updates. Bathroom cramped; bed great, fridge & freezer cold (yay!), breakfast was grab & go, service was good. Would stay again. Although, I worry that the room I was in had previously been a smoking room. Shen I showered, of course there is no exhaust fan, so there was a LOT of condensation in the ceiling and it was yellow - like nicotine under the pint.

I was in rm 204 ( I think ) on the 1st floor and my phone didn’t work. I went to the desk and Stephanie was very kind and went to rm 404 and checked the phone, and it worked so I used that room . One thing that you should look into is the condition of the interior elevators. The floors were cracked and the groove between the doors was dirty. A simple vacuum a couple times a day would help. And maybe fix the cracked floor. Overall I was pleased with my stay and would use this hotel again.

Staff was awful
The rooms were clean and beds were comfortable. The staff was awful. Took us 40 minutes to check in! When it was our turn they didn't have our rooms. I had requested adjoining rooms and they didn't have them. While waiting to be checked in I over heard them saying that none of the rooms from the day before had been checked out. Our reservation was on a piece of notebook paper. I asked for a manger and they said they were both managers, just not at the desk and they were the only ones there. I asked for them to compensate me for the mistake and I was completely ignored! I asked if we pd now or at check out and she said at check out. We stayed with a another couple and we were each going to pay for our own rooms. When I went to check out they had already charged my card for both rooms! Very frustrating stay and will not stay again. We were not told about any covid related rules or how to access amenities. Very unfriendly and rude staff.

In general I like the Holiday Inn products, this was an exception. Very poor service upon arrival, check in took 45 minutes as the two ladies behind the desk clearly did not understand their reservation system. Not a good time for this, as people were queueing up in the lobby making social distancing difficult. Then, there was a loud party off the back of the Hotel during the evening. I made the new person behind the desk aware, and she shrugged her shoulders and said there wasn't anything she could do. I'll find other accommodations when in Charlottesville moving forward.
