Hyatt Place Charlottesville

This hotel is a 5 star all around.
Staff– very friendly, gave great recommendations of things to do and places to eat and made conversation upon checking in.
Breakfast– decent. Large selection and everything tastes good but the oatmeal was very thick and the coffee seemed to run out every couple minutes.
Price– awesome. Cheapest Hyatt I’ve stayed at for a great room.
Cleanliness– perfect. The bed was perfectly made and sheets were clean. The carpet was cleaned, I felt safe to walk around barefoot. The bathroom was clean as well from the shower to the sink to the toilet and the floor. And they definitely give plenty of towels. Only complaint is that there were not trash bags. I would hate to empty the trash without using a bag but I guess that’s their standard, didn’t bother me because I didn’t have to empty it.

Great location, clean room, friendly and helpful staff. Lots of restaurants in walking distance, free parking, nothing bad to say about our stay.

Stayed here for a weekend getaway. Asked for and received a quiet corner room. The nearby town center was filled with amazing a shops, restaurants and movie theatre. The rooms at this hotel are enormous, I am a huge Hyatt Place fan. If I ever had to live in a hotel, this is where I would love to live! I hope I get to come back, since Blue Mercury opened, I would make this hotel my «spa» destination… honey are you reading this? I have a birthday coming up!!!

Beautiful, modern and clean! I was surprised to learn they’ve been open since 2013 because everything seemed brand new. The price was great with the government discount.
The beds are awesome! Got a great couple nights’ sleep especially with the shades completely drawn. The downside was that we slept through the free breakfast both days (oops.)!
Love the 24-​hour coffee bar – we came here during New Years’ and grabbed hot chocolates before going out to view the Santa on Mountainview Street lights. Hotel is within walking distance of the movie theater and the Stonefield shops (including Trader Joe’s!).

This is one of the nicest hotels we have ever stayed in, period!
The rooms were clean and chic. The beds were so comfortable.
And the breakfast buffet was awesome. Breakfast sandwiches were delicious and well cooked and warm.
Love this place.

We stayed here one weekend while we went wine tasting in the area. The hotel is in a up and coming area and everything is brand new. The hotel itself is in great condition and state-​of-​the-​art when it comes to the needs of a tech-​generation. The bed was very comfortable and the room was clean, modern but fashionable, and the shower/​bathroom was excellent. We did not eat there, just grabbed some late night bites. This is not a hotel to stay at if you want a view. It is in a really nice area, and there is a good donut shop, bar, restaurant, and shopping super close in a little shopping center. It is pretty close to the wineries and breweries so we will definitely be going back.
Please note we did not go to the pool, fitness center, etc. We just used the room and the spent day out of the hotel.

The stars are based off of front desk service only. The hotel/​room was excellent. This hotel is very obviously suited towards businesses and I understand that but my boyfriend and I decided to book a room here (based on the location and the niceness of the hotel) and they actually laughed at us and mocked us for choosing their hotel. every time we walked by they were whispering. incredibly unprofessional and rude. won’t be coming back.

Had an overnight stay at Hyatt Place in July 2015. Impressed with the friendliness of the staff as soon as I arrived. They let me check in a bit early with no hassle. The room was really nice with a giant bed and a comfy sofa. I used the fitness room which was adequate enough for a workout. There was an elliptical, bike, treadmill, and free weights. My neighbors were a bit noisy with their two loud children but I was still able to get to sleep fine. There’s a pretty cool breakfast too.

My husband and I stayed for two nights (Sunday/​Monday). We loved this hotel! First off, the bed/​pillows are the best I’ve experienced at a hotel. The rooms are very modern and clean. The front desk staff was very friendly. The breakfast was pretty good. After reading the reviews I was expecting something amazing, but it still offered hot breakfast sandwiches, French toast, several kinds of juices and other cold food options. The hotel offers a ²⁴⁄₇ menu with very reasonable prices for a hotel of this quality.
We would stay again!

First off, the staff are amazingly friendly and professional, hired good attitude and well trained, from the front desk, to breakfast staff to housekeeper. New clean hotel. Minus two stars, one for noisy AC unit and the other for breakfast area being too messy in the morning, tables need to be wiped down more regularly and cereal swept off the floor as well as serving areas kept neater. All very fixable issues. Having said that, recommend!

Loved the experience we had at this location. Stayed here for a few nights. Huge rooms, great staff, all around a great experience.

I went there for two weeks due to work. The people were great. super clean and comfortable beds. Great location and not a bad price. Breakfast was great. but in busy times may be hard to get a table. The rooms have plenty of space and very stylish. I actually looked forward to go the second week. Highly recommend it. Great restaurants and stores in walking distance.

I love business trips and this one was no exception. The hotel is located in a new shopping mall development and surrounded by all kind of shops. Its not a very busy place and in the cold winter light the whole area looked rather gloomy.
The hotel in itself and especially the rooms are amazing. staff was super nice, but they also were not very busy. I guess February is a very slow month in Charlottesville. Each room has its own modernly designed sitting area and the bathroom are top notch.
The breakfast bar wasn’t all that overwhelming, but it was OK.

CLASSY! For about $ 160/​night, I think this place was a steal. I made ressies for valentines wknd and pretty much everything was on point. Modern décor, chic finishes. The breakfast is one of the best complimentary breakfasts I’ve ever experienced. Biscuits were on point as well as the juice bar. Nice, high-​end treadmills in the excercise room. Pool was decent size, not huge (although we would have preferred it stay open past 10pm. Come on, it’s not like there’s a lifeguard on duty. Why can’t the pool stay open ²⁴⁄₇?) That was a little annoying to get kicked out of the pool. But other than that, everyone working there was great.
Due to the lack of adjacency to town, it took a cab an extraordinarily long amount of time to arrive. Almost 30 minutes. Unacceptable. They should really have a closer relationship with one cab company that is reliable. Other than that, things here were perfect: all i’s dotted and t’s crossed. I would absolutely return.

I never write reviews, however I had to for this place. The hotel was empty and they gave me a room right in front of the ac unit on the 2^nd floor. Then I was walking in with a guest and they yelled in the lobby «sir you didn’t pay your bar bill». I complained to the manager and they blew me off. The staff was really bad and this was as trashy as it gets. I would recommend staying elsewhere.

Let me make this clear to all who come to Charlottesville for a visit you must stay here. The moment I arrived Brett checked me in and had me set up for two drop offs at a local brewery. After that I enjoyed the modern look of my room and most of all I enjoyed the comfort and the peace quiet. Later on I met the manager while waiting fort shuttle to arrive. He wanted to make sure I was enjoying my stay. He recommend several places to eat and drink at. When I was done talking my driver Neal took me all over down town to the local breweries in town. He saved me a ton in cab fare that night. The next day I enjoyed my free breakfast and then hit the road feeling refreshed. The room was only around 129.00 a night with free shuttle in a five mile radius and breakfast. Pretty good deal if you ask me !

Wow, one of the better hotel stays we’ve ever had. Everyone has been so very nice from housekeeping to kitchen to front desk. Every last person. Came to C’ville for a short mini-​vacay. Got a special rate for booking non-​refundable tickets.
Room:
One bedroom king room. Very spacious. Room enough for our baby’s air bed on the floor. Everything was very clean.
Bathroom:
It was quiet nice. Very sleek. It’s interesting giving an infant a bath in the shower but we made it work. Appreciate the good water pressure and accurate temp controls.
Amenities:
The whole hotel is just lovely. The pool was warm and clean. Wifi was easy to access and very fast. The hotel sits beside an open air mall. Several restaurants, shops, movie theater and frozen yogurt with more to come. Nice options.
Breakfast:
This was one of the best part of the visit. We’ve had «free» breakfasts at hotels before. It’s never been anything worth writing home about. This is not the case. This breakfast was so good we didn’t want to go out. Sandwiches that were awesome. Pancakes, french toast, sausage, oatmeal, cereal. Everything was fresh and hot (or cold as needed.) I actually looked forward to breakfast.
We’ll come back to C’ville again, there were so many wineries we didn’t make it to, and this is where we will stay.

I am currently staying at Hyatt Place for two weeks on business. My colleagues and I picked this hotel for cleanliness above all else. It didn’t hurt that they are close to shopping, provide a shuttle to UVA, and complimentary breakfast each morning. My husband travels for business every other week, and assured me that every Hyatt he’s been to is clean. I’ve stayed here three nights so far, and I am NOT happy. So unhappy, I’m going to go ahead and write this review.
Cleanliness
My quarters are not clean. I don’t know what standards Hyatt Place is operating off of, but this is nasty. First, upon checking into my room, there was someone’s leftover milk in my fridge. Okay, maybe they forgot. There was hair all over the floor. That’s gross. When I took a shower before bed, there was some «I love _​_​_​» written in the fog, which shows me the mirror was not cleaned before I checked in. Sigh. After washing my face, and washing the makeup off my face, I threw all my towels onto the floor so I could get fresh ones. Well, when I came back the next day, not only had my trash not been emptied, the glass that I used still sitting on the desk, and still dirty, but the towel with makeup that was on the floor was simply hung back up. The hair was still on the floor as well. I let the front desk know that I believe housekeeping forgot to refresh my towels. I was polite. Last night, (Wednesday), when I come back to my room, there is still that same hair all over the floor. Clearly, they do not believe in vacuuming. Or emptying the trash, because it still has not been emptied. The last straw, was after my shower I go to lay down and there is long blonde hair all over my pillows. I have dark brown hair. Clearly not my hair. I called downstairs, and now I’m upset. This place is NOT clean. So, I leave a message for housekeeping. This morning, I placed the trashcan and glass right at the front door, so that housekeeping will clearly see it. I called the housekeeping manager this morning, and the front desk told me that the housekeeping manager is cleaning my room themselves. I really hope my room is cleaned. I have 9 days to go.
Breakfast and Other Hot Messes
The breakfast is terrible. Fresh fruit, needs to be one thing. Fresh. Tuesday’s fruit had a very funny taste to it. I was told Wednesday the truck hadn’t shown up to deliver fruit. That’s okay. It also tips me off that Tuesday’s fruit must’ve been leftovers, and should not have been served. The shuttle. They offer a shuttle, and I was sitting in the lobby waiting for it this morning, yet somehow it still left without announcing they were leaving. Maybe tomorrow I’ll stand outside in the street so I don’t miss it.
I’m highly disappointed. I will be letting my agency know about the low cleanliness standards, and am praying I don’t catch something like MRSA. I also will tell my husband to find another hotel chain to frequent, because Hyatt Place has let me down. 9 days to go.
Update: My colleagues report popcorn on the floor of their room, and they don’t even eat popcorn. Multiple people report dirty towels and hair on their sheets.

First visit to this place and I am a HUGE fan of this location already. The décor is ultra-​sleek modern, the staff is friendly, and the room we had was spacious and GORGEOUS. Take advantageof the great breakfast spread in one of the coolest setups for a kitchen and lobby in any hotel I’ve ever been.
The front desk attendant was polite and courteous, even asking how our drive was to the place.
There’s a nice selection of shops (and even a cinema) within walking distance of this location, making it a real gem to an area filled with wineries, breweries, and scenic views.
PROS: AWESOME free breakfast, elegant décor, great staff
CONS: Hard to locate on GPS (due to its newness), parking is somewhat confusing and not ample enough for visitors

The great people at Hyatt proudly presents this newer class hotel Hyatt Place Charlottesville. I had the honor of being one of the very first to book this hotel on the day they opened up for reservations in late September. This hotel officially opened on October 1 and is located in a newly developed area called the Shops at Stonefield in close proximity to the Charlottesville Airport. The development includes major anchors of Hyatt and a Regal IMAX Cinema. The area is still under development, but some stores are already open such as Regal, Brooks Brothers and Burtons Grille. Soon to come are other anchors Trader Joes and Costco. Along with Orvis, Jimmy Johns, Pottery Barn, Pier 1 and Love Londons among others.
The hotel itself is without a doubt a looker. It is a gorgeous ultra modern set up that was very pleasing to these eyes. The colors throughout are browns and reds with stone work, beige tile and dark gray carpeting. I took all the pics which provides what the hotel will visually look like, but the experience is what made the property standout.
Upon entering the hotel I was promptly greeted by the manager and asked if he could assist with my bags. Staff was at their stations ready to assist with check-​in which went very smoothly. The sweet thing about this class of Hyatt is all the perks that are provided at a tremendous value to the customer. FREE WiFi, FREE full breakfast, FREE parking and I am not done. Each room offers a refrigerator and the property has a nice exercise/​weight room and pool. If you need to use a computer they have three with access to a printer boarding passes etc. The hotel also has a small bar offering specialty coffee, wine and beer.
I loved entering my room and again seeing this modern feel throughout the hotel continue. Immediately after the room door closes you see a very cool large sliding opaque glass door to the bath. Plenty of storage with a clean line desk is offered across the wall. A nice L shaped couch and darn it if I did not see if this was a pull out, but I suspect it is. They also offer adjoining rooms for larger families. The beds and sheets were first class and I slept like great. The A/​C was noisy and annoying, not sure at this point what can be done. But it is louder than other hotels I have stayed in. The good news is it worked wonderfully on a hot weekend. Also some dust on top of headboard was noted on initial walk through.
The breakfast was sweet for a complimentary undertaking by Hyatt. First class offerings of china, glass and silverware is provided. Breakfast sandwiches on a skillet were delicious and my favorite. Other offerings are pancakes, donuts, cereal, fruit and various drinks on a very cool chiller plate. Lots of seating, including some outdoors too. The coffee is located in an adjacent room and is a little cumbersome when crowded since this is the ONLY place to get a cup of Joe. Everything I had was very good and staff was around to help. It is a self bus endeavor with an area to clear and put your silverware, cups and plates. The three staff for the most part did what the could keep it clean, but it was mobbed.
I know service has really not been touched on, but let me assure you it was top notch and I was loving the hospitality. There was not a time when I was not very pleased with the staff. I had a few issues with the room since I was probably the first one to use it. Maintenance was immediately on it and resolved in 10 minutes. The Hyatt is known for a live person waking you up if ordering a wake up service. I did, but my room was never called. I notified the front desk who was apologetic and was going to look into it. There are some things that must be excused and this is one of them with working out the kinks of a new large hotel. On Saturday staff was struggling with preparing rooms for incoming desk and was tardy just after 3 PM. On my floor I saw the manager cleaning rooms himself to get the job done. Hello!!! this is impressive as heck and I admired the teamwork of mgt.
The Hyatt Place will without a doubt be successful. It has everything going for it from location close to UVA (approximately 5 minute drive) and Stonefield Retail Center. But it’s the hotel itself that provides an incredible value for it’s customer that may be most remembered. Great job to all the staff who provided a wonderful experience. Keep up the good work and I will be back.
