    Pros +

    • Friendly and helpful staff, great room, good restaurant and bar
    • Proximity to UVA medical center. Staff was super nice.
    • Clean, close to downtown and UVA

    Cons -

    • Plastic utensils and plates. Get some real dishes and silverware especially for room services. Hard to cut a steak with a plastic knife on a plastic serving container.
    • Parking is $18/night, but there is ample street parking nearby.
    • However one elevator was down for service leaving the remaining one a bit crowded and slow. Also they need additional staff at the Valet during check-out time frame, the guy working was very nice but needed some assistance

    Nice boutique hotel located centrally between UVA and downtown mall. Room is very nice, and had great natural light. Check-in and check-out processes were smooth and made for a great night's rest.

    Parking is $18/night, but there is ample street parking nearby.

    Room and hotel were very nice, i would stay again in the future.

    The Draftsman really exceeded our expectations. The staff was some of the friendliest I have encountered at any property. They really went above and beyond to ensure that we enjoyed our anniversary stay.

    10JenniferPosted on: 4-25-2021

    Great look and wonderfully maintained. Very clean and very friendly and helpful staff. I would stay here again if I return to the area.

    The mattress was too hard, but that's individual taste. Hated the lighting in the room. Wasn't able to turn the light between the beds off except from the wall by the door. The showerhead was mounted about a foot too low and I'm only 5'5'

    Location, mountain views. Friendly staff.

    9Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 8-2-2020

    The interior is beautiful! And the location is great for access to UVA hospital. It was relaxing to walk to my appointments.

    We didn't know until we arrived that there is an $18 parking fee.

    10AmandaPosted on: 6-18-2020

    The cleanliness and style of the hotel were top notch. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable.

    The hotel was great, but room service and the restaurant were closed because of Covid. This hotel could really use a pool. If it did, it would be perfect!

    8LeroyPosted on: 5-14-2020

    Sound proofing. It was very quiet, to the point of thinking I might be the only guest.

    I asked for a second robe, I was delivered one with no belt tie. Really? I also left my jacket hanging in the closet when I left. But when I came back for it that evening, It was handed to me in a ball. Very unprofessional. And no vending machines!

    8ChurchillPosted on: 11-6-2018

    Staff, room & bar/ restaurant were great!

    Valet parking is very poor. I suggest that the ticket number be texted to car owner

    8Verified guestPosted on: 10-6-2024

    easy affordable valet parking; location

    8RebeccaPosted on: 6-29-2022

    The thoughtful amenities in the room.

    Needed a night light someplace in the room for safety

    10JoelPosted on: 9-1-2020

    the architecture is great

    the location would be better if it were closer to UVA or closer to the downtown mall

    10Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 1-31-2023

    It ticked all the boxes above! Very important

    8VanessaPosted on: 9-8-2025

    Very positive experience staying at the hotel. Location was great for us (just down from The Corner) and walking distance to the downtown area and grounds. Staff were very courteous and accommodating. Valet team were amazing and always ready to help. Room was modern, clean and spacious. We also ate in the hotel restaurant (The Ridley) which was very good. All in all we were impressed with the hotel on many levels and will stay again when we are back in town.

    really don't have anything to fault the hotel on. They were experiencing issues with one of the elevators whilst we were there. Hotel staff were very accommodating and made it work with the minimum disruption to us which was appreciated.

    Clean. Newly furnished. Helpful staff. Good food. Excellent location

    10MarlenaPosted on: 12-21-2024

    They were wonderful when we had friends visiting. They let them park at the hotel while we went to the UVA game.

    The only thing was I didn’t think there was enough staff in the restaurant attached on a UVA game day. There was only 2 waitstaff and 1 host and it was super busy.

    10Julie S.Posted on: 12-9-2024

    So many things to love! Great location, no need to rent a car, walked everywhere. The Restaurant in the hotel!!!! We ate there 5 times in 3 days. Southern cuisine done right!!!! The bar knows what they’re doing too. Our room was very clean, well purposed and best of all…..quiet! Definitely will stay here Everytime we come to Charlottesville! Can’t speak highly enough and I’m a pickle to please
