I've never been married before and as a woman who had been dreaming about this day forever I wanted to use a vendor that could literally bring my vision to life. Delores Roberts the owner of this business was the most professional amazing woman I have ever met in my entire life. I live in New York and Delores is in Virginia, Delores was able to take concepts and ideas over the phone, that I had given to her regarding my very special day my first and only wedding and she was able to bring that completely to life she was quick efficient and professional she took notes with everything that she did and she executed absolutely everything with fair prices even throwing in quite a bit of her own that didn't cost us anything just because she sincerely wanted to make sure that our day was perfect, and it truly was perfect!!! I was completely pleasantly amazed when I entered the venue, literally I was moved to tears she, and her team are absolute gems!!! These ladies were so personable and professional!!! They all were so supportive and they supported me and my husband beyond the scope of just being our decor specialist. This vendor was a prayer answered I would recommend this business without reservation with the highest recommendations I could and multiply that by 1 million. There was two couples that were guest at our wedding. One of the couples live in North Carolina the other in Florida and they are both interested in using this vendor for their wedding because of how breathtaking the work produced left everyone captivated. This vendor has proven worth and even if you had to fly them across the country you will not regret it!!!If you can get this vendor to decorate for your special day you better believe you will be blessed. Because of this vendor our wedding our photos our videos will be the most memorable event of our lifetime I can't say thank you enough if there was more than five stars to give I would.

The staff were all friendly - we were even given free tickets to the show the night before to see Blackberry Smoke by just simply passing by on our walk to dinner. The venue is located right in the center of the downtown mall so there are plenty of places to grab a drink or food before/after a show. It's only an hour from Richmond so worth the drive!

Lost power and was not refunded the night we didn't stay…read more My thoughtful husband booked a two-night stay for my birthday from the night of 8/15 to check out on 8/17 Checking in was easy. Front desk was nice. The room that we got wasn't too spacious (our 3 kids prefer the spaciousness of Hilton Homewood suites and the like) but it made up for it with the little patio space and easy access to go outside so that we could take our dog out. Not too bad for just a couple of nights. On the 16th we had breakfast at The Mill Room. Upon arrival (around 8:50am) the hostess was confused when we said we prepaid for breakfast. She continued to look confused about us pre-paying online. My husband shrugged and decided let's just deal with it later and sit down to eat. I don't know if it's something that they just started and she was not familiar with, but I thought it was odd. Once we sat down to eat, she came back and she said "oh you got a breakfast package?!" And then proceeded to explain how we charge it to the room and how it gets deducted from the amount we prepaid. The breakfast was good with a selection of the typical items like: eggs, potatoes, sausage, bacon as well as pastries and chia pudding. The freshly made waffles were my favorite. That day we had planned to visit some vineyards and an Orchard, do the typical family Charlottesville experience and then get back to use the sports facility and the pool. It was storming on the way back, so we knew that we weren't going to be able to use the pool. When we were entering the building a gentleman who was also staying there said they had lost power and the whole property seemed to be without power. There were no lights on. There didn't seem to be a generator powering emergency lights or anything like that. Thankfully, our room door did open with our card. This was a bit before 8pm. When my husband called guest services, they said to give it about an hour. I'm not sure if this is what the power company gave them or if this was just an estimated time they came up with. An hour later, we still didn't have power. My husband is a business owner and as much as we want to be unplugged when we have family time. It's not realistic. He needs to be available for any emergencies having to deal with his business or his elderly parents. We decided that we couldn't stay the night in a hot hotel room since the AC didn't have power (it was so hot and humid) and risk not being able to charge our devices. Guest services told him that he wouldn't be charged for the night so we booked with a different hotel, packed up our belongings in the dark with the little light we could get from our phone flashlights. Hopefully we didn't miss anything, but we packed everything in the dark and left around 9pm. On the 17th we checked out of the NEW hotel that we booked and drove back 3 hours to our home. My husband saw that we were indeed charged for the night of the 16th so he called the next day, which was Tuesday the 18th around 5:45pm. He left a message with our room number and information requesting that it be refunded. He did not receive a call back. He also tried to emailing but that just bounced back like their email isn't working. It is now 8/21 and we still have not received back any information regarding the stay being refunded as well as the "breakfast package" for five people, for that following morning.

I brought my two-year-old son to Bounce yesterday to get some wiggles out as we were on a road trip…read moreto the Lynchburg area. We frequently visit Charlottesville (once a month) and wanted to find a kid-friendly place to relax.  I was intrigued by the website's description of the play place. Unfortunately, nothing could be further from the truth. Do you know how dirty your place is? Did you know that your "employees" wear hoodies and sit on their phones while at the front desk and have gossip time? Yep! When we arrived at Bounce, we were barely acknowledged by the two young staff members. I had to ask questions about how the park worked and what I needed to do. I was very surprised to find the price of $20 for a child's entry fee. Granted, it was for all day, however, I couldn't imagine spending all day in such a sad excuse for an indoor play place.  Upon first glance, after paying unfortunately, I discovered that the climbing equipment was visibly dirty. I wonder when and if any of this was actually cleaned? Ironically, my two-year-old must have picked up on the fact that I was so uncomfortable because he started to act hesitant to play. In the "2 and under" section, there was visible sand or dirt behind the filthy bounce house.  We ventured over to the Lego and truck area. I was puzzled to find train tracks that had only one train piece. My son even asked where the rest of the train pieces were. After searching under furniture, I decided that there weren't any other pieces. Next, we went to the "2-5" area where my son found car tracks, but no cars to drive on the tracks. The Lego table had bits of food, hair, and other unknown nastiness in the crevices.  The cafe was unattended the whole time we were there.  The bathrooms were atrocious. Trash bins were overflowing and there was no appropriate diaper pail to dispose of dirty diapers. There were also no paper towels in the bathroom and I had to ask the front desk ladies to restock it. The depressing "paint room" had one solid color paint and a water cup.  Upon exiting, I asked the front desk lady for a business card for the manger, not surprisingly, she couldn't find one.
