Loved the grab bars in the tub and toilet area. Bed was comfortable and clean.

6/10 Good

Location was good . Unfortunately there were several issues that were not up to par regarding a Marriott stay . The water in the shower never got hot. I don’t understand how a hotel shower could not get hot water !! Unfortunately, this left us with cold showers . The air conditioner had a rattle / sound that took a while to get to sleep. Quite loud too, but the rattle was difficult to sleep through . The outlet kicked off the hair dryer repeatedly and did it on another outlet as well . While I understand wanting to turn over the room for another guest , we had housekeeping knock on the door at 9 am and again at 9:30am, making us feel rushed to get out . It seems there would be a better system . I usually do not leave reviews , as we understand things happen that are out of our control . However , I felt the need to review this time, as there were several issues .

Check in was good with polite and friendly Hostess. They would have received an excellent rating; however deadbolt on door did not work and bedding (sheets, comforter, pillow cases smelled like cigarette smoke. I notified front desk attendant and the bedding was changed to fresh clean bedding. The deadbolt remains broke (safety issue).

Middle of the road in every way

Reasonable well priced hotel at a great location. Nothing special, nothing bad, just acceptable. Breakfast was forgetable at best but for the price it was an acceptable stay.

Cancellation Policy – No Exceptions for weather

I travel to Charlottesville each month for a meeting and typically stay at this hotel because it’s conveniently located, and the staff has always been welcoming. Last week, my meeting was rescheduled to the following week due to weather, and unfortunately, the same issue happened again. I had to cover the cost of the first rescheduling and lost it again the second time. When I called to adjust my reservation, I discovered that as of 1/8/25, a new policy was implemented with a much stricter cancellation policy. I want to make others aware of this change, as it may impact future bookings. It’s disappointing that they offer no flexibility for weather-related cancellations.

2/10 Poor

BAD Service / no appreciation

Our company sends teams out to work in various areas may times a year. They typically love Marriott hotels, but unfortunately, we will not be booking with them anymore. We've spent a lot of money in hotels annually, most of which were Marriott or assoc. Typically with no issues whatsoever. Until now, this particular trip was cut short due to heavy snow that my team could not work in, when we ask for any kind of help, as in, a partial refund or booking the same amounts of rooms the following week. We were told to essentially "take a hike", and "our policy is no refunds at all ever". This was very disappointing that we did not get any kind of assistance and wasted three night's stay for two rooms. I fully understand policies and their stance, but I feel like with the amount of past and potential future business. There would have been some kind of "customer care" assistance. Thanks!
