Exceptionally nice hotel
Exceptionally nice hotel. Big rooms, great public spaces, good breakfast. Located between the law and business schools at UVA, a real plus is gorgeous gardens with an extensive path system that allows for real hikes for those so inclined. The only downside is there is no on-site parking - must use valet or do a ten minute trek to a parking garage.

Poor customer service.
Weather caused the hotel restaurant to stop serving, including room service. Instead of letting customers know they just kept taking orders and not delivering. For a hotel of this level, it was annoying and very poor service. For breakfast, no grab and go coffee options.
