Fantastic experience. Wife and I did a 2 night stay and enjoyed every minute. Although there are several buildings, we stayed in the "main house" which was so convenient. The bar, front desk, valet and pool just steps away. The staff were like family and accommodations very comfortable. Many thanks to Antonio at the desk/valet, Tyler the bar manager and Tyler Cupec Director of Rooms for making it a trip worthy of a not only a 5 star review but also a future return as well. read more

Oakhurst Inn is a clean, orderly, well stocked vintage inn in Charlottesville. My room was clean, comfortable, with nice furniture and the bathroom in excellent shape. Quality linens. Squeaky clean hardwood floors all over. Tasteful old furniture. Every staff member I spoke to was polite, courteous, and happy to help. The self serve stations for hot coffee, tea, and cold water was a convenient resource outside of the door. This inn appears to be made of several former homes that were turned into a campus of buildings making the Oakhurst Inn. It's not a single building. The small lawn in the center of the complex has benches, hammock, and a fireplace that seems welcoming and nice, but I wasn't aware of them until I left. There were a few problems during my stay. The inn requires guests to use valet parking which is $40 per night, not disclosed before my stay, and often required a long wait for the valet to return. This makes it hard to retrieve anything you need from your car. The front desk staff are often missing from the front desk - I had to wait 15 minutes for someone to come back and check me in on arrival. Likewise, the bartender is often away from station and you might wait 10 or 30 minutes for the bartender to return. There is no mini fridge or microwave in the hotel rooms. The pool area was extremely dark at night, making it tricky or dangerous to navigate. The pool water was lukewarm, not warm at all. The sauna was out of order and the doorway was small and obscured by chairs. Not accessible and difficult to find. This inn has no gym. The lobby is very small and has no seating for guests or places to hang their luggage, although the nearby lounge has a few leather couches and a fireplace that doesn't appear to be working. Not the most welcoming or convenient. Overall I don't think it's worth the hefty price tag and would stay elsewhere when I return to Charlottesville. read more

Disappointing! Returned to town for a 2 day work trip and it was unexpectedly warm outside..80 degrees. Came back at 11pm and the room was over 80 degrees and miserable. Sent a message to the front desk and the guy came and replaced batteries and said it would start cooling but it never did. No sleep that night-- when I had to start my next shift at 7. The sound machine was super helpful as we had a room near the street. read more

Oakhurst Inn was a special place to stay on my birthday and it has overwhelmingly attentive front desk and valet service. I spent my birthday here and it was a last minute plan after finding out my dog has a terminal illness. The staff were so kind and helpful. My trip to Charlottesville will be remembered for many reasons. It will be a fond memory and keepsake of this trip with my dog during this time in her life. Thank you, Oakhurst Inn for providing this service and making things so seamless. If you travel with pets, Oakhurst Inn offers select rooms. Call in advance to make sure one is available. They don't have a refrigerator in the room so plan ahead if you have any food or items that are perishable. Enjoy your stay with your furry friend. read more

The owner neglects the property, the business, & the employees he is responsible for. His disregard for his own business is apparent by the utter state of disrepair the property finds itself in. All of the "historic" buildings on property have been kept out of date & problems have gone unfixed. The foundations on all buildings are leaking, causing each of them to be safety hazards. Even a light rain will cause the buildings to leak in multiple areas. You can often find puddles of water sitting in the basement areas of these buildings after a day of rain. All of the windows are outdated, with thin glass & zero insulation. Anyone planning on staying here can expect a drastic fluctuation of temperatures. The rooms are outfitted with outdated mini split units, which also leak & are not regularly cleaned, causing dust & mold to form inside these units. You can look into the unit & see the build up on the fan. Additionally, in an attempt to save money, these units are tied together, so the rooms have to be set to the same setting & if one is changed the others will stop working. Needless to say, the numerous complaints they have received regarding the problem have gone unheeded for years. There is little available parking at any of his establishments either. Patrons are often expected & directed to park off site or "along the street." There are less than 10 parking spaces at the main building, which they try to compensate for with a "lower parking lot" that is another safety hazard the property has to offer. The blocks forming this lot are sliding downhill leaving several tripping hazards in the lot. This is especially a danger, as the lot is completely dark at night. This is one of two parking areas on site that are eroding & becoming unsafe. The staff is mistreated & overworked. You will be lucky to find one person during the day, as the single front desk associate is also expected to valet cars & turn over rooms. When checking out, expect long wait times. Employees are often made to work outside of their job descriptions & take on more responsibility for no additional pay. The staff is not given the tools they need to succeed & are not informed on the intricate details of the property. If you are looking for a place to stay or a place to work, I would look elsewhere. You can find many modern hotels in town at better prices where you will not have to deal with the multiple issues this place has. I would under no circumstances recommend visiting or working here! read more

I was booked at a sister hotel and my room wasn't ready and I needed a place to work and take a virtual meeting. Allison was very helpful and allowed me to work from the common area. She was just as hospitable in person as she was on the phone. Building interior is beautifully designed and the pool area looked very inviting. read more

All frills, no thrills! My partner and I wanted to get away for Valentines Day weekend, so we decided to book a room at the Oakhurst Inn. We assumed the stay would be luxurious and worth the price (after all, the Inn is more expensive than most other lodging facilities in the area). Unfortunately, what they woo you in fancy gimmicks, like champagne waiting at check-in, doesn't measure up to the comfort of a hotel like the Graduate or an Airbnb. The Oakhurst Inn comprises of different satellite locations on a singular property, and we booked a room at the Café. This made check-in and parking confusing, but we finally figured out the location after speaking to the front desk - and drinking our beloved champagne. Related to this point (re location), do note that if you're staying in the café, you need to walk to the main office to access the bar (these amenities are not within the same building). This also means that there is no immediate access to water, food service, etc. In 30-40 degree weather? Kind of a bummer. Speaking of which, the room is freezing! You can tell there isn't much insulation in the bathroom, which faces the outdoor patio behind the café. Everything is cold to the touch and the bathroom windows are filthy. The room could really use a deep clean, especially during COVID. There are some tasteful details, like the coffee station (although there is no tea, despite hosting a tea bag coaster). You could tell there was no effort to restock the sugar or the shampoo (nearly empty). The alarm clock was not working, but was surely gosh darn cute, sitting above the bed. I found the artwork quirky, but fun. The bed was a dream - spacious, breathable fabric and bedding, and lots of pillows with adjustable night-side tables that pull down from the frame (and/or can be stowed away). This makes for convenient storage. I would like to note that the phone in the room did not work. We tried to call the front desk, but the phone kept ringing (even after we dialled the phone). No worries, we have wifi for our cell phones! Accessibility: We climbed a steep staircase to our room; at the top, the stairs curled in on an angle and I found them incredibly awkward and difficult to navigate. I would not recommend this stay for someone with limited mobility and/or disabilities. Fortunately, my partner and I are both young and agile, but I assume some people staying here might find the situation uncomfortable. All in all, there are some exciting amenities and features, like a huge bed and plenty of cable television. However, I was not impressed with the stay. The food is overpriced, the staff is disorganized (we tried ordering room service in the morning, only to be placed on hold and forgotten about; the number to the café was incorrect and forwarded us to the main office), the location is subpar, and the price is simply not worth the (supposed) elegance. Sorry, but better luck next time! read more

It's pretty good for what it is -- a set of old Charlottesville houses jerry rigged into a quirky boutique inn. This means carrying your suitcases through labyrinths and up winding staircases. But it does have some charm. We had cocktails in the lounge, where the brilliant young bartender was experimenting with his mixology. They charged us to park in their small parking lot, which was full when we came back from dinner. The room was ok. read more

Where to start with this place. I booked it as a mini escape for a few days. Pool looked nice and relaxing, general vibe looked good. The "Inn" is not at all a hotel. I showed up, checked in and to my surprise, my room was in another building all together. Not at all attached the the main building with the pool. Cut to me shlepping my own bags in 90 degree heat to a room in another building, up the stairs and landing in my room... - No safe - No fridge - No room service - No ice machine or ability to obtain ice - No elevators - Creaky/loud floors, doors, maintenance being done that you can hear through thin walls. I called and spoke to the front desk. Told them I was going to leave and had no desire to stay as they are not a hotel, clearly. I was moved to another room in the main building(the one with the pool), an "upgraded" room with a fridge. - Had to schlepp my bags back to the main building, again, no offer of assistance - Wifi kept going in and out the whole time - Had to go buy my own ice because there "isn't an ice machine" - The room had ants crawling all over the "kitchen" - There was repair/carpentry being done directly under my room that woke me up multiple times - I asked for help with public transport to go to the downtown area and was given vague/completely unhelpful suggestions of where a bus stop might be to take me in the right direction. Can't say I've had a more incompetent "hotel" experience in my life. Don't bother. Not worth the money and everything is a hassle. You're basically paying for a room to sleep in and any/everything else that you assume will be attended to by a "four star hotel" is up to you to take care of. Can not recommend less and will not be going back. Want a decent place to stay? Go to the Quirk on East Main. This place is a dump. read more

The Oakhurst Inn is well maintained and has updated, clean rooms. The front desk was extremely helpful and responsive throughout our stay. The only downside is that the building has very thin walls and we had people staying next to us who we heard talking, closing doors and walking around all through the night. read more

I dunno man, this place is kind of a dump. The carpets are faded, filthy, and covered in stains. The room has a weird smell and there was long hair on the walls of my shower when I arrived. Everything in the room is sorta janky. The bathroom is nice but why is there an ottoman in front of the toilet? They also wouldn't let me park my car (with handicapped tags) in the handicapped spot in front of my building because "we have to collect everyone's keys" which is super weird. We paid a premium over chains because we expected a boutique experience, but the most boring chains in town offer a nicer experience read more

A beautifully furnished inn with excellent, friendly service. Lot of space as well. Love the common area in each cottage. They offer coffee, tea, and cold drinks. Lots of books. The whole place has a homey and library ambiance. Retro-chic is the word. They offer valet parking (it's required and free) read more

We had a completely magical stay at the Oakhurst. The Inn has a vintage chic vibe and the staff were kind and helpful. Our room also had the most beautiful bathroom I've ever seen in my life. I can't recommend the Inn highly enough! read more

Oakhurst Inn - Hotels Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

Following the un-hotel trend, we decided on this hotel based on convenience in location and relaxation. Absolutely sold on the little "libraries" they had in each building and the beautiful decor on their website. For convenience, Oakhurst Inn does splendidly as it's situated in downtown right across from the beautiful UVA campus. Perfect for a morning jog in the beautiful surroundings. We were centrally based for dinner options, vineyards, and just a short 10 min drive to Monticello. Plus, it also has the wonderful Oakhurst cafe on site which serves some delicious brunch on the weekends. The rooms are decent sized as expected for a downtown hotel. Great for young travelers; couples & friends. Not great for groups. Based on the website, we had expected a bright luxurious room with a King upgrade - found the two buildings that house travelers (the rest are luxurious apartments for students) are updated but still contain the skeleton of an older complex. Some may call it hipster charm. Our room unfortunately ended up being pretty dark and loud with a small window and the large generator directly in front of it. Improvements would be 1) accurate assessment of room (eg our request was bright with a King bed) - bed was very comfortable 2) temperature control - we stayed during winter and it got pretty warm at night even without the heat on 3) noise from outside (given it was Saturday night right across from a college campus) 4) more amenities - we thought we didn't want a gym or pool option but it turns out we did. 5) would have been nice to have a fire going to "cozy up" the library during winter since it was there! Turn down was cute with the ginger cookies - they are actually really delicious. The library was stocked with sparkling water, water bottles, and a Nespresso machine. The staff was very nice and friendly. The rooms were clean and well stocked. Overall, we were happy with our stay. At the same price point, we were looking for better ambience and comfort and would probably have fit in better at another hotel with more amenities. They are renovating another building so it will be interesting to see their improvements. Tips: free parking/valet; cafe on site is fantastic, yoga free on Sunday AM read more

Unless you are looking to stay on the UVA campus, I would not recommend this Inn. It is pretty far from downtown but I drove downtown daily and was able to find 2-hour parking really easily. So it wasn't the end of the world but a bit far. Also no dinner served at the Inn. This Inn is cute, many buildings in a circle, basically on UVA campus. I didn't love the room, it was small and kind of icky and I expected more for the price.... Also it was sooooo loud. You can hear everything including people walking upstairs or just outside the door. I really didn't like the thin walls. I actually kind of felt like I was in an upgraded dorm room. But the grounds were pretty nice. I sat one of the living rooms and turned on the fireplace. They have water and sparkling water everywhere for you to grab which was a lovely touch. I also got to spend some time in the heated saltwater pool and that was lovely. It was November so that was a nice treat. For the cost, I would stay somewhere else but because I got to enjoy the pool for a few hours that was lovely. One of the major drawls was having a cafe at the hotel. But it was kind of far... Like took a 5 minute walk to get there which isn't bad but I thought it would be right at the hotel. Also- there was no coffee machine in the rooms so that was very very sad. read more

This is a charming boutique hotel with a huge "but". We were told the owner of the inn also owns the college apartments in front of the houses where our rooms are. The two don't mix well. This is the second time since 11 PM that I've been awakened by the young voices just outside my room on this summer night. Maybe winter would be quieter but I won't be back to see. The hotel staff, especially Jess, were nice but they can't fix the noise. I've been awake nearly an hour now with the noise. There was just a loud outburst of screams and laughter which apparently awoke the person above me because I heard him get up. When I'm paying this much for a hotel room I expect to be able to sleep. Edit: In the morning as we checked out I reported the lack of sleep. Jake apologized and asked how he could make me feel better. He removed that night's charge and made us coffee. The cafe and the lobby don't serve coffee until 8 on weekends. read more

Oakhurst Inn - Entrance to one of the cottages - Hotels Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

I visited Oakhurst Inn tonight (10/31) for Gin & Jazz and while the atmosphere was promising, the rude bartender ruined the mood of the night. When I first arrived I asked if I may see a menu (in an attempt to decide what I'd like) and the bartender responded "A menu?!" as if it were the most ridiculous request on the planet. I was a bit confused as to why the request seemed to anger him and after a bit more awkward exchanges (including him asking if we "just wandered in from the street"), I decided to just get an Old Fashioned. When he brought the drinks, I asked for water and he never brought that either. The jazz was delightful, the Old Fashioned was mediocre, and I felt unwelcome my entire visit. I don't plan on returning. read more

We had a wonderful stay at the Oakhurst Inn! We came to check out virginia wine country, and loved the vineyards, but were just as impressed by all the very nice touches this hotel had to offer. From a mini french press in our room with complimentary starbucks coffee, to the smoothie bar in the morning, to the gin-and-jazz hour, to the delicious ginger cookies every evening, we felt truly taken care of during the stay. We were also pleasantly surprised to see that the hotel has two peloton bikes! I booked a time to use the bike in the Oak Room, also had plenty of cleaning supplies/gloves so I could make sure the bike was safe during COVID times. Would definitely recommend this inn to anyone looking for a vineyard getaway or even just a trip to UVA! read more

Oakhurst Inn - Pelotons! - Hotels Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

I booked two rooms for this hotel advertised through Expedia (for a full refund ) 11 months out for a family event and cancelled due to other plans 8 prior to the date of arrival. There was no issue with the cancellation time frame.I received a cancellation confirmation from Expedia that the the hotel will be explicitly refunding my credit card. Two phone calls later to the Inn ,it was not done and the hotel desk told me they don't take care of 3rd party refunds. Very poor customer service. The customer service I had to follow up with Expedia and my bank took over 5 hours of my time and I still have no answer from The OakHurst Inn. Still no refund yet. read more

Unfortunately, it pains me to be writing this review. But after reaching out directly through the front desk and email, I have yet to receive a call from management . I've stayed here over the last four years as my daughter attended school here. It always had a charming, warm, family atmosphere. On my final stay here on graduation weekend where the room charges were excessive, which is somewhat understandable. Service conditions have been less than stellar. We're here on graduation weekend. Unable to get bottled water several times. We do prefer to refill the glass carafe, However, there are times where you cannot use glass , by the pool or to go etc. The graduation festivities start before 8 am on Saturday, and your café doesn't open until 830 and lobby bar which was supposed to be open for coffee wasn't available at all in the am during anytime during our stay. My AC is not working in the room for a second consecutive day. It was reset and now not working again and it's 77° in my room. I've asked for refill the soap in my room for two consecutive days. All I hear is excuses. They were understaffed on a busy weekend, with basically no hospitality or service Some of the staff was extremely rude . read more

My mom & I were planning on going to Charlottesville for a night and were sooo lucky to have stumbled upon Oakhurst Inn online! I was teetering between here and the Omni & I am so glad we chose here. FYI- it does default to a two night stay when booking online. I was able to call and ask and they did allow us to come for 1 night on the weekend. We booked the queen suite and were actually upgraded to the king suite with the beautiful soaking tub! The price was steep, but it was last minute so it was understandable. Jacob and Abby were great! They were so helpful in showing us around. The property is very unique and adds to the experience. Jacob told us the buildings used to be fraternity houses. The buildings are laid out in a circle with ample parking. We stayed in the main building that houses the "lobby" and the bar. The buildings are old with creaky floors, but other than that, the updates are phenomenal. The rooms are beautiful with small touches that really add to the experience. They have ginger cookies at the desk with really nice packaging that you can take on your way in. They also have bottled water available. The bed was extremely comfortable. The decorum in the common areas is so cute- I loved the books everywhere. The heated pool was open and beautiful, but too chilly to go in. We ventured downtown- my one recommendation would be not to ride the trolley- we were easily able to take it downtown, but it did not return. We had to uber back. That is to no fault of the inn. We had breakfast at the cafe in the morning and it was delicious. I love this property and had a lovely experience. Even though it was expensive, it was well worth it! Thank you Oakhurst Inn! read more

Fabulous, stylish, comfortable, historic hotel that just happens to be my favorite 1920s era of architecture. Super friendly and helpful staff. Very clean. We had a corner king with a huge fancy bathroom! Very friendly and beautiful neighborhood. I feel lucky I found it. Definitely will return ASAP! read more

After advertising this stay to family from out of town, I did not receive the feedback I expected. This is definitely not the place to bring family or friends. The welcoming service was not impressive, and the decor was very subpar. As a Charlottesville native, I have heard great things, but this is not accurate. Definitely not the bang for your buck. There are plenty of other options in Charlottesville and the surrounding areas that are beautifully decorated and more impressive for a better price. read more

Gorgeous unique inn. Service is quiet and good. Our room was far better than the pictures showed - surprised included a working gas fireplace and sitting area. Bed super comfortable and easy to use the Tesla charger with free valet parking. Libraries and common areas lovely, and pool looked good too. Very clean. Skip the restaurant though, service was awful in the cafe. We'll be back to the inn for sure! read more

Very disappointed with my stay. It's way overpriced for what they have to offer. The room was down in the basement and very small and musty. The staff wasn't helpful with directions around the neighborhood. Wouldn't recommend staying here. read more

I stayed here one night because I have something very important to deal with close to the university. I enjoyed my stay and most importantly, privacy, and this was a good choice. You still have to remember that this is close to the medical center, so you will hear an ambulance zipping through JPA, sometimes every hour. It's just me but my brain is always on high alert, but if sirens don't bother you, this would be a goodplace to stay. I just maxed the white noise maker provided in the bedroom and it helped a bit. The library is an good place to do some reading and studying. My room is slightly across the library so, I was able to hear all the noise coming and going from the area. There is a Nespresso if you want coffee. The room has an electric kettle if you prefer to stay in. They also provide chilled water in a carafe and shortbread baked in house to enjoy in the evening. The bathroom is huge! While I am very impressed with Malin+Goetz bath products, I find it very masculine on me. So, it depends on your purpose of stay. I would not recommend for a relaxing vacation, but if you have something very important to accomplish and would like a "home" like atmosphere, this would be it. read more

We were very disappointed with our 2nite stay. While the staff was very friendly that was the only good news. Our room was sparsely furnished and did not even have a closet, nor a clock nor a radio. There was a hot water pot but no coffee or tea to go with it. When we asked about coffee we were told they would give us a pack of instant coffee. No coffee any where in the inn in the morning though we were told there was complimentary coffee in the mornings. There was not. The walls were very thin so much so we could hear the people talking in the next room. The view from our room was over the parking lot and some paint cans, tarps, a ladder and construction items. There was no maid service but then later we were told you had to specifically ask for it. That would have been fine but no One told us that. Finally, we had one cocktail and one glass of wine at the bar which cost $33!! No conditioner in the shower container. Do not stay here!!! read more

We actually really enjoyed our stay at Oakhurst Inn but we got charged a crazy amount for room service when we were lead to believe it was included. When I tried to email their front desk about it they said sorry but did nothing about it. Super disappointing because we had tons of breakfast places we wanted that would've saved us $50 but chose not to because we thought breakfast was included. Even when we asked the front desk after our first night they half heartedly listened and said "yeah they drop off room service sheets to rooms each morning"......didn't get one either, we had to go and ask for it. read more

I thought I knew all of the inns and b&bs in the Cville area... so imagine my surprise when I discovered this gem. My husband and I love taking weekend trips to Charlottesville and the surrounding areas to do wine tasting, hiking, and just plain get away, and we much prefer intimate accommodations to huge hotels. That said, we've stayed at many of the inns and we always like to try new places. We got married a week and a half ago outside of Charlottesville, and while our weekend accommodations were covered, we were looking for a new spot to try for two nights leading up to our wedding weekend. After looking at a few places that were *slightly* (and by slightly, I mean extremely) out of our budget, I stumbled across Oakhurst Inn. It's located in the heart of Charlottesville? Check. It's actually located practically on UVA's campus? Check. You mean, we can walk to restaurants? Check. I definitely thought I was going crazy... how had I never seen this place before? Welp, they've only been open for a year, if that, and the last time we did an overnight, we opted for Nelson County rather than Charlottesville. After a quick perusal of their website, facebook, and reviews, I called and made a reservation. And boy am I glad I did, because Oakhurst Inn was perfect for us. We were given a room on the second floor, which had an adjacent sitting area - ideal for the assembly of the wedding bags! It was more than perfect, actually, as it gave us more space than we even needed! But if it hadn't been enough, there was also a common sitting area outside of our room that we were welcome to use should we need it. Very spacious, very clean, and very friendly staff! Our bed was super comfortable, and even though I wasn't sleeping well (wedding planning anxiety, what can I say?) it was like heaven laying my head on the pillow. Because of their location and lack of parking, they charge a $10 valet fee per car (per day? I don't remember if it was per day or per stay), but you can take your car in and out as many times as you want. Honestly, this was pretty awesome and super convenient. They park your car in a garage adjacent to the inn, so it only takes a few minutes for them to bring it around when you need it. I have to admit I was a little nervous about how this would work because of all of the trips we were making and all of the items we brought with us for the wedding, but it was an absolute breeze. We loved our stay at Oakhurst and I can guarantee we will be back. This is definitely one of our favorite places we've stayed in the Charlottesville area. Highly recommend! read more

This place is awesome and I highly recommend it for a stay in C'ville especially if you want to be centrally located to UVA grounds. The room itself was small, but that was okay because there was also a private sitting room with a pull out couch. It was really nice for us (mom & daughter) as we each got our own room! I also liked the Malin bath products and the bathroom was huge. There is a common room which is really nice with couches, newspapers, nespresso machine (key), bottled water, sparkling water and books. The staff are very nice and always willing to help out. There is complimentary valet parking. We were staying above the office and outside noise was not a problem at all. The only odd thing was that we had to go to the front desk to ask about the AC which wasn't working and they had to turn it on from the computer. It was a great stay and I would highly recommend to anyone looking to stay near UVA. read more

My husband and I (and our lab) had a lovely, impromptu stay at Oakhurst Inn this weekend. We were expecting an older B&B (as in an English tea-serving, lace-and-linen bed and breakfast), so we were a little surprised at the converted dorm exterior, but the rooms inside were tastefully redone and very comfortable. In addition, the hospitality was on point, with everyone we met being extremely courteous and professional. I'd classify Oakhurst as the happy medium between a Hilton/Hampton (or other mid-high end hotel chain) and a traditional B&B, and we'd gladly stay here again. We stayed in Room #1, the smaller of their two dog-friendly rooms, and it was more than enough space. Sitting room with a desk upon entry, separate bed and bath, a tv and modern, whisper-quiet mitsubishi air handler in each of the two main rooms (easily controlled, despite what another reviewer said, and they kept the temperatures very comfortable). The sofa was a bit squeaky, yes, but it was also a pull-out and despite that was clean and comfortable. I'm honestly not quite sure what the one-star reviewer was so up-in-arms about. This Inn openly states they are smack in the middle of town between the school and the hospital, so you have to expect traffic noise and/or ambulances. Our room was alongside the road, but even though there was traffic noise in the sitting room, the bedroom was quiet. In addition, these are old buildings, so you can't expect squeak-free floors or for all the original piping and radiators to be removed. I personally think the painted-over radiators and remaining pipes add quite a bit of charm! Our shower/bath was clean, as was the rest of the suite (which is often not the case in dog-friendly rooms, because they tend to reserve the lower end rooms for people with pets - didn't appear to be the case here!). I had a great night sleep on the firm-yet-cushiony mattress and pillows, and I can be very picky. The fold-down nightstands on either side of the bed with personal lamps above each were also a nice touch, and there were lots of outlets (uncommon in older buildings), cozy robes in the closet, and even a personalized welcome bag for our dog :) My husband and I have stayed at a lot of Inns and B&Bs across the country. Each is unique and has its own quirks. You always pay a little more for these types of places than you would at a hotel, but you're buying the charm and unique experiences. I wish breakfast was included at Oakhurst, but I liked that they offered high-end teas and coffees in your suite, personal sitting areas outside, and the ability to bring your dog with no restrictions (which is HUGE). Recommendations? Stay more than one night. Even though breakfast is not included, go to breakfast at the cafe (the menu is limited and quirky, but it's delicious). And don't be afraid of the valet parking. It was very easy and quick to use, and your car gets parked in a private garage, not on the street. read more

Love this place. Seriously. I was booked here because the hotel I was giving a lecture at was sold out, but this will be the only place I will stay in C'ville from now on. The rooms are cute, and the service from the college age staff was exceptional. Friendly, fast, personal. Each house has a front sitting area stocked with books, drinks and a Nespresso coffee machine which I put to very good use. My only complaint was that because the houses are so old, I could hear every creak and groan of the building every time someone moved. They left a white noise machine in the room and I'm sorry I didn't use it. But that is my only complaint, and I will be back. Oh, the food at the cafe was excellent as well. read more

We stayed here last night and I was very impressed. The amenities were above and beyond, it all started with the complimentary valet parking. From there we had seltzer, water bottles and espresso all at our finger tips in the beautiful lounge area with the fireplace. The Inn looked old and quaint on the outside but the inside was very clean, modern and trendy--not what you would expect from the outside! The service was wonderful, very helpful in terms of picking restaurants and vineyards in town. They also had an adorable turn down service with cookies and water bottles. Also, it was very convenient to have the cafe downstairs and the location was perfect. We are definitely coming back, this is our new favorite spot. read more

I loved I was able to bring my dog!! It's hard to find fun cute places when traveling with pets. There are plenty of a areas to walk your dog. I would suggest the hotel providing an outside trash can somewhere for those that clean up after their pet. Our room was very cute and had plenty of space for my husband and I and our Chihuahua. I loved the decor style of the room. The AC worked superbly and we were both able to have nice hot showers. I loved the Malin and Goetz toiletries. The bed was very comfortable. The wall outlets in the bedrooms were not working. The surrounding area was very beautiful and close to all the things we wanted to do and see. Our room was in a private location but close to the road. We kept the complimentary white machine on so our dog wouldn't be bothered too much by the road noise or by anyone possible walking by. We were in a downstairs unit so we did hear a lot of walking around and movement upstairs. It bothered my husband so be aware when booking your room. We got the Bed and Breakfast Vouchers but probably wouldn't do it again because we didn't particularly enjoy the café. The valet parking was a little strange. We had to turn in our keys but our car wasn't always moved. The staff is very friendly and accommodating here. One thing that freaked me out a little is that occasionally we would find little black worms/millipedes?? on the floor/carpet. read more

A flawless diamond in a town rich with rubies and emeralds. The Oakhurst Inn is a locally owned and operated business where you will socialize and dine with the owner operators. Cannot imagine staying anywhere else when in Charlottesville. Phillip St. Ours, the owner, is an interesting man and a veritable encyclopedia of what to do while in town. He turned me on to several great places to eat while there. Can honestly not say enough wonderful things about him and his establishment. read more

Came for lunch and sat outside in a nice area with shade. Menu is limited in selection but everything is fresh and healthy. Ordered a garden sandwich and it was healthy and filling. Salad that came as a side was good enough to be satisfying even for someone like me who doesn't particularly care for them. This is a spot you have to check off your list as a UVA student. Only reasons it doesn't get five stars is the price and selection variety. read more

Oakhurst Inn - Hotels Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

My fiancée and I stayed at the Oakhurst Inn for our engagement weekend and the staff treated us fantastically. When they heard that we had just gotten engaged, the staff moved us to the penthouse suite. They provide complimentary valet parking available at a moment's notice. Champagne and cookies were even delivered to the room shortly after we arrived. The beds were freshly made and the bathroom was very clean. It's a great alternative to bed and breakfasts in Charlottesville that may not provide the peace and quiet you are searching for. If you visit, definitely give this place a shot. They did everything in their power to ensure that we had a special and memorable weekend for our engagement. I can't say enough about this place! They really go the extra mile to accommodate their guests. Thanks so much!! read more
