We booked this hotel on Best Western's website and recieved a discount. But that should have alerted us right then. The rooms looked clean on the surface upon walking in but that changed right away. The furniture was old and scratched, and the blankets and sheets smelled very badly. The TV looked alright, but half the channels were fuzzy. The... more

This particular Best Western is in serious need of refurbishment and not up to their normal standard. Luckily we were only there for one night. They had no record of our booking on arrival, although I had an e-mail confirmation, however they had rooms available. Room was acceptable but again in need of a make-over. Reception staff were helpful and... more

I pulled in on a Saturaday around 4pm and the first thing I noticed when getting out of the car was a 'stinky' smell. I picked this hotel as I was traveling with 3 high school kids checking out colleges. I had read it was within walking distance to the University of Virginia and to me...was reasonably priced. We were... more

Very disappointed in the cleanliness of this room. As a matter of fact, this was the dirtiest hotel room my family and I have stayed in. There was trash left under the desk from a previous guest, an unknown yellow liquid on the side of the tub and floor, and hair all over the floors. I would never stay here... more

We visited the Cavalier Inn during a brief trip to Charlottesville/Monticello and enjoyed our stay very much. The property was easy to find (even after dark) and every staff member we encountered was friendly and helpful. The Inn is right near the heart of the the UVA campus (an easy 10 minute walk to the Rotunda) and within easy reach... more

We were originally going to stay at the Hamptom Inn, but decided to save a few bucks and get a more convenient location by switching to the Best Western. It was, all in all, fine. The hotel is very convenient to the campus, and about 10 minutes from Monticello. The room was pretty much as expected -- clean, the usual... more

We stayed as tourists and the hotel was conveniently located for this. Its on R29 at Ivy, and from there it's about a 10-minute walk to the magnificent Rotunda at the university (worth a visit in its own right). From there, the free 'trolley' will take you about another mile east to the downtown area. The hotel is hard on... more

We stayed at the Best Western Cavalier Inn while we were in Charlottesville for a Red Hot Chili Peppers concert at the arena. The location was perfect! Closer to the arena than some of the parking, which you had to pay $16 for. The room was nice for a 2 star hotel. Clean, comfortable, and surprisingly quiet! The hotel was... more

Moving my daughter into UVA I stayed here on the recommendation of the orientation dept. The staff was very nice and addressed any issues we had. We had a room on the 4th floor on the side with the parking lot. Our room was clean, we got extra towels with out any problems. The bed was fine and breakfast was... more

We had reservations at this hotel, and I choose it for the proximity to UVA and the downtown district. Big mistake. Pulled into the lot and the first we saw was a freight train rumbling by adjacent to the hotel. (Think My Cousin Vinny) It was downhill from there. The lobby was old, but rather quaint, and the desk clerk... more
