8.6/10

I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel. The rooms were incredibly clean and comfortable, and the location was perfect, right in the heart of UVA campus with easy access to restaurants and bars. The service was exceptionally pleasant, although there were some minor issues with staff familiarity with local restaurants. The dining experience was a mixed bag - while there was no complimentary breakfast, the nearby breakfast spot served the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had. Overall, a great place for an enjoyable stay with a couple of drawbacks worth noting.
