Finding good Charlottesville VA hotels isn't so hard, but the real issue is finding the right one to match a visitor's reason for being in town. That's because the town gets a mind-bogglingly huge number of visitors, inspite of being over 70 miles from Richmond. From business travelers to parents & students and just plain tourists, there are sure to be specific hotels here that are best for each type of visitor.
Let's take these traveler types one by one. Over 500,000 travelers are Monticello visitors - those who come every year to visit Thomas Jefferson's mountain top plantation. For these travelers, the best choice would be a hotel nearby, in the shadows of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
The second biggest group is the collection of students, teachers, visiting parents and administrators at the University of Virginia. Many of whom need temporary accommodations at affordable rates. Location-wise, the hotels mentioned above in the mountain foothills should do just fine.
Then there are the seasonal travelers on the Blue Ridge Parkway visiting Shenandoah National Park. This lot doesn't need to be asked twice to check-in to a hotel offering mountain views. As for the many event attendees at the Paramount Theater or those in town for the Virginia Film Festival, the best choice will be something that's not far from the top local attractions like the Downtown Pedestrian Mall.
Note that Charlottesville VA hotels are renowned for offering guests a healthy dose of old fashioned Southern hospitality. Travelers should be ready for heavy breakfasts and sumptuous dinners at restaurants onsite. Room service will obviously be available, and so will a fully kitchen for those who book into a suite.
Free newspapers are delivered to rooms each morning, and free internet is quite common. Every hotel also offers cable tv, with pay per view movies. Guests can expect coffee makers to be there in room, along with iron & board and hair dryers.
Outdoor swimming pools, fitness centers and a full service business center should be there for all guests to use, and so will laundry service and/or dry-cleaning. Meeting rooms are sure to be provided for those who need to conduct business meetings. Rooms will have work desks to help these travelers to put in a few hours of quality work without being disturbed.
More often than not, a trip to Charlottesville will end up as a good experience with a lot of happy memories. Choosing a suitable hotel that is conveniently located for the purpose of the visit will make the trip even more hassle free and comfortable. The food and the service aren't so much of an issue, since every hotel here knows very well how to make guests feel at home.
