Breakfast was very good and hot. Location was good and close to UVA where my husband was having surgery.

I wished we were told that there was a hospital discount when making our reservation the first night. We extended our stay several times and eventually figured out about the discount. When we asked would they apply the discount to our first few nights they would not do that and said it needed to be stated at booking. That was very discouraging since we stayed a total of 9 nights.

The staff was exceptionally friendly both to myself and when I overheard their interactions with other customers. The gym had a variety of fitness equipment, including ellipticals, treadmills, and weights. There was a nice assortment of both fresh cooked food and fresh fruit along with cereal and yogurt at the breakfast buffet. Lots of space and easy access in their garage.

They need better curtains in the rooms. I had a first-floor room along the street and I don't feel that the sheer curtains provided enough privacy between me and the trucks stopped at the traffic light. I ended up getting dressed in the bathroom.

We had a lovely spacious room with a pleasant view and our stay was great from the moment we arrived. The staff at check in were super kind and welcoming and it was an easy walk from the Amtrak station. The breakfast included was simple but good (especially waffles on the weekend) and it was impressive having gym and pool facilities too. We'd certainly return on another visit.

As a pedestrian, it wasn't easy to find the front door!

It was a great location, one of us walked from the hotel to go downtown and to the university. The staff were friendly and hospitable, accommodating us with an extra blanket when asked. The room was very clean, comfortable, and modern. We really liked the size of the TV. It was very quiet there as well despite being a fairly busy hotel. The parking garage underneath was a good additional perk.

Excellent, spacious room with 2 queen beds which were supremely comfortable. Great pillows too. New and sparkling bathroom with a spacious vanity bench and shelves, hooks etc. Terrific breakfast was included and had plenty of variety from bananas, fresh-cut fruits chunks, yoghurts, oats and cereals with multiple topping choices , breads, bagels, toasts and spreads, and hot selections too, such as 2 types of egg, bacon, hand rolls or quiches, plus tea/coffee bar. There was some variation each day as well. Breakfast staff were very friendly and obliging too, and regularly checked and topped up food items.

Lack of food choices in the vicinity. Many restaurants in the Downtown mall but by 8.30 when we arrived, there was only a pizza place. Other more formal restaurants were close to closing. Also no diners or delis close by where we could buy meals to heat in our microwave. instant noodles only thing available.

Location. Good breakfast

Tha coffe make in my room was broken because prior traveler put coffee and water in the water spot. It was filled with disgusting brown water and even after I cleaned it out it didn't work. Reported it twice. Never replaced nor any record in the system that there was a problem. They did give me some extra Marriott points the "make up for it".

Super friendly staff which gave us a lot of recommendations for trips/restaurants/activities around the area. We stayed here after a longer trip and were very happy to be able to do laundry in a convenient way (staff was again super helpful and friendly). Good breakfast, nothing super special, but sufficient choices available. Always enough parking spaces.

The staff was great, as was the location. I have no complaints about the hotel.

I tried to change the dates for the reservation, but Booking.com did not allow me to do this on the app. I never received a response after I spoke on the phone with a representative, although she said I would within 24 hours.

Very convenient to hospital. Nice breakfast options. Adequate workout facilities. Rooms and doorways are large enough for my mother to maneuver with walker/wheelchair.

Bathrooms are a little old and outdated. Heating unit smoked and set off fire alarm in our room.

April 2022

Room size and cleanliness. The staff were very friendly and helpful. On site parking. I was able to do an early check-in and the staff were very accommodation for that. The lobby and parking garage were also clean. It also was only a few minutes drive to the central area.

The road around the building was small and turning in and out of the parking garage worried me because of blind spots. Odd complaint, but there was only one very small shelf in the shower. It barely held my travel shampoo bottles and bar of soap. The shower was large and clean, but almost no space to put my toiletries.
