Courtyard Charlottesville – University Medical Center

Hotel was clean and modern décor. Walking distance to several eateries and a few shops. Front desk and house keeping were very nice. Loved the little bar area that offered Starbucks. Two times I ordered hot chocolate with a dash of hazelnut and it was amazing.
I was traveling with my husband for his work. There were a couple of meals catered by the hotel and all were good. We stayed in adjoining rooms 122 and 124 with our 3 children and their was plenty of space.

One of best locations to stay for uva or uva medical center. Up to date interior. Nice lounge. Friendly staff. Can’t go wrong.

Stayed here for free because of an interview, so I might be really upset if I had to pay this price for what I got. First off, it looks really nice and it’s very convenient for downtown and the university. The bed was so uncomfortable. I got a horrible night’s sleep and my boyfriend woke up with neck pain. I also woke up several times throughout the night. There isn’t a complimentary breakfast, so we got bagels at bodo’s and ate it in the lobby. The gym was also tiny for the price of the hotel. Didn’t get a chance to use the pool, but it looked alright. At least they offer free printing in the lobby.

The ideal place to stay while visiting U.Va. Nicer and better than the Red Roof Inn and the Cavalier Inn, but closer than the Hampton Inn, which is the same niceness (or now maybe even a little less) but a few blocks farther away.
The Marriott has recently redone the rooms, and now they are classy, spacious, and clean. I don’t think that there is a minifridge in every room, unfortunately, but I’ve had one ²⁄₃ times I’ve stayed there since the reno. However, in the king size rooms, there is also a pull out couch, which is really nice (also nice that there is a couch in the room!). Bonus points for the Paul Mitchell toiletries that stock every room.
In addition to redoing the rooms, they have also redone the main floor, so now there is a pretty nice «Bistro» with a sizeable menu. You probably want to eat on the Corner anyway, but my room last time came with a free breakfast at the Bistro, and it wasn’t half bad. More important are the chocolate chip cookies they leave out in the lobby!
I would highly recommend this hotel during your next visit to Charlottesville. I have found the prices to be comparable to the other nearby options, but it is worth it even if you need to pay a little more each night.

Great location with friendly staff and modern updates to the room make this a perfect place to stay if you want to be close to the Corner. They offered free parking and a fairly generous check out time of noon. The rooms were comfortable (didn’t think the mattress was uncomfortable despite other reviews here, although I do like my mattress firm). The service was also on point here. Free parking an added plus given the location. The only downsides were the location is close to the medical center (get the occasional ambulance) and the AC/​heat unit was indeed rather noisy, which seems to be a common complaint here.

What a great place to stay if you want to be close to the action. You can easily walk to the downtown shop area and also to UVA. Nice sized rooms with cool couch (forgot to take a picture). Would definitely stay here again if I need to be in Charlottesville. Cute town with good energy.

The renovations made to this hotel were done the right way. The rooms were spacious, clean and beautiful. The bistro/​bar was nice to grab a drink or some breakfast. The staff was very friendly. The little connivence shop was nice for things you forgot to pack or to grab a snack. The pool and fitness center was pretty standard of other hotels. Will stay there again

Located right on the convenient UVA Corner, this Courtyard is clean with spacious rooms. They are currently undertaking renovations (yay!!!). Just recently stayed in a renovated room on the fourth floor. It looks like they kept the original furniture, replacing the carpets and wallpaper. I like the new look! Even better, they replaced the thin, lumpy, old mattresses and bedding — YES!!! No longer the Marriott hotel I think of as the one with the worst beds.

If you’re going to Charlottesville and want to stay near the Corner, the Courtyard Marriott is the place to stay. (The Red Roof Inn is the other, not quite as nice option, and the Cavalier Inn isn’t so bad location-​wise either).
We crammed a bunch of friends into a room for Homecomings. First of all, it was great because it was UVA at Homecomings. The staff was friendly at all times, check-​in was quick, and it was easy to get a bunch of keycards for everyone. Free wifi
Our room was almost unnecessarily large, and was well-​cleaned in the morning, despite our leaving it in… not quite tip-​top shape.
Finally, there are fresh-​baked cookies in the lobby late in the afternoon!
Would’ve been 5 stars, but one of the two elevators was out of service, and it was a huge problem. The stairs are inconvenient to the lobby, and waiting for the elevator to come could take 5 – 10 minutes each time. Hopefully this is fixed soon

The staff was very nice, but when I checked in, the elevators were broken. The room made my eyes itch and my nose run continuously. I first thought I may be catching a cold but on the second night I realized it was the room making me sick. I talked to a work colleague on the flight home and he had the same issues In his room too. I didn’t sleep more than 3 hours at a time because the place made me feel so bad. The second night I didn’t sleep after 3 am and left at 7am to get bagels and walk campus. When I came back at 11(check out is noon) I was locked out of my room. They gave me a new key and again it didn’t work and had to go down to the desk again. They also called me a cab and while the cabbie was nice, the cab reeked of cigars.
The staff was nice, but I am never ever ever ever staying at this location again. I’d sleep in the campus library or crash at an all night coffeehouse before going into one of their rooms again.

This place has the audacity to charge $ 200 + a night. What are we paying for? The welcoming odor of wet rag when we enter our «suit?» Lucky for us the must is complimentary to the dim view of emptiness. The lighting is chicken stock yellow poor. The bathrooms waft of mold and caulking. I’ll leave this review as short as I want my stay to be here. Next please.

This was a good Marriott– the room was always spotless when we returned and the amenities were great, especially since we could access the parking garage from our floor. Our room also looked out at a cute little B&B and crêpe myrtles, but I suppose that was just luck. The staff was friendly and helpful as well. I was most impressed by the proximity of everything to the hotel– it’s located on the Corner (the college strip) and is in easy walking distance of the Downtown Mall area (as long as it’s not too humid).

Nice staff!
We had a free night to cash in (from a doorprize from a local 10K last year) and were helped quickly. The room we had was on the first floor, easy to access from the parking area, and the location was wonderful — loved walking to Mellow Mushroom for dinner, and the stroll over to Bodo’s for breakfast.

I have never been treated so rudely by hotel staff. I made a reservation to stay in the hotel during a business trip to the area. Upon check in, I was told that I no longer had a reservation, and that I was to stay at a nearby Red Roof Inn. As a Marriott elite member, I find this to be completely unacceptable. The Red Roof Inn was old, dirty, and had weird people hanging around the hallway on the floor I was staying on. When I complained to the Courtyard Marriott staff, I was told there was nothing they could do. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone.

There stars is a fair review for this location. If this were a super 8 or red roof it would be given all 5 stars, but with Marriott line there is a level of expectation to achieve.
The staff was friendly, the room was well kept, but there was a lacking to the little things that great Marriotts do well.
The room was musty, the toiletries had no been restocked, hot water was inconsistent. Again, if you’re a regular at marriotts you will be perturbed.

Have to say, kind of disappointed that this location is not offering any additional perks to customers that are staying here during their renovations. A few weeks ago in VAB, one of the ocean front properties were offering a complementary breakfast to all guests to make up for the fact that the lobby was completely ripped up and filled with construction folks, noise, and equipment that week. While the same is going on over here, there was no attempt to offer a nice perk — not even fresh cookies at 5pm when you checked in — to compensate for the noise and scaffolding that we’re forced to maneuver our luggage through this week.
Not impressed, at all.

I didn’t expect to get that small B&B type great service from a big national chain, but I got it. It was great.
I also left my cell phone in my room and they were quick to find it and set it aside for me. Thanks. Will go there again. Also it is very close to the Football field, if not the closest.

Compared to other Courtyard Marriotts, I found this one to definitely be below par. First, the room was very damp and musty. I ran the fan on high for a few hours before going to bed, but it was too loud o keep it on all night. Even after leaving the hotel, my clothes smelled of the room. Second, the appearance of the hotel hallways seemed messy at times.
One positive is that they have newer treadmills than the ones pictured on the website. I would by no means describe them as «state-​of-​the-​art», but they have personal TVs and can set basic programs.
Unlike previous reviewers, I did not have an issue with bed bugs so hopefully they have addressed that problem.

I stayed here several times. It could potentially get 3 stars, but right now its just 2.
There is a parking garage, free wifi in the rooms, and printers in the lobby. Overall it was pretty clean or whatever, but as always, customer service is what seals the deal for me.
The staff was not friendly. There is one chick who works some nights who is pretty cool, but thats about it. If I pay money to stay somewhere, don’t act like you are doing me a favor when I ask you a question. Smile when I pass you in the hallways. Bring my dry cleaning on time.

Great hotel in downtown Charlottesville, only a couple of blocks from the campus. It’s easy to miss if you’re driving, though — the entrances are kind of hidden.
We were here in February, on a non-​event weekend, and prices were great (about $ 150 a night for a king with pullout sofa), which was perfect for traveling with kids (6 and 2.5, at the time). They also have a wonderful indoor heated pool, an essential make-​kids-​go-​sleepytime features. Free wi-​fi in rooms is great, and should be the law. Staff was exceptionally friendly, too.
Is 4 stars enough? Maybe not, but I have a hard time going to 5 for places that don’t blow me out of the water. But make no mistake — this is a great place to stay: clean, free attached parking, wi-​fi, and good facilities make this a place we’ll probably visit again.
