The English Inn of Charlottesville

We had a spacious one-bedroom apartment with a kitchenette. Breakfast had a good assortment of hot and cold foods, but as in most hotels in the US, there was nothing except fruit for a gluten-free vegan. Also, they use plastic utensils and disposable bowls, plates, and cups, which creates a tremendous amount of waste every day. Since we had a kitchen in our room, I was able to bring my own bowl and spoon for the gluten-free granola and oat milk I brought with me so as not to create any waste myself. A kitchen staff member kindly gave me ice for my water bottle. The front desk staff was helpful as well.

I travel to Charlottesville regularly to visit my daughter who is a trainee with Charlottesville ballet. In October I discovered the English Inn and now I would not stay anywhere else anymore. The price is great and the Inn has a special flavor (fireplace, tea and cookies, etc.) Breakfast is also a cut above what one normally gets at a hotel and the breakfast staff (especially James, but the lady also), personable without being intrusive. The location is excellent for my needs. It is only a few minutes away from where my daughter and her roommate live.

I loved this hotel! Nowadays, hotels seem to charge extra for every little thing. You're lucky to have complimentary hand soaps in the bathrooms. But the English Inn goes above and beyond. The beds were comfortable, the breakfast was delicious, every member of staff we interacted with was friendly, the pool was great. I would absolutely stay here again. It was conveniently located to attractions, stores, and food.

We were in Charlottesville as tourists. The English Inn had a comfortable, clean room. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was good, with plenty of tasty options for our own tastes. As an English Inn, they even had a "high tea" in the early evening. It is located near the bypass, and it was easy to get to our destinations (downtown Charlottesville, the University of Virginia, Monticello, and James Madison's Montpelier) with our rental car. This worked well for us. The "English" theme was fun, and it had the welcoming feel of a non-chain hotel. There is an indoor pool as well, although we did not try it out, unfortunately.

The building looks charming and has a nice design and interior details. I travelled with the service dog and all went very good, the only thing he was not allowed in the breakfast area, but it is understandable. I still could take some eggs to the room as he loves those hotel breakfast eggs a lot :) Did not have a chance to use the pool but it looked nice. The area around the hotel is well lit and safe (for late night dog walks). Bed was comfy, a/c working, all good!
