DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Charlottesville
I just wanted a place to stay while visiting the area, and this was perfect. Not particularly expensive, and plenty of parking. The room was clean and spacious, so no complaint there. I did not eat there, so I cannot comment on the restaurant or breakfast option. Would certainly stay there ...
