This 3-star property is a practical choice for people arriving by car. It lists free parking, a gym, a pool, a garden, family rooms, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning, and it is tagged as pet friendly. Guests rate it 8.6 out of 10 across 2,009 reviews, a deep pool of feedback.
Parents visiting students and anyone with business at the University of Virginia will find the position useful, since guests point to convenient access to the university and Route 29.
If you want to stroll out to sights in the evening, look elsewhere. The listed sights are around 3 km away, and the area reads as a drive-and-park base.
Location and getting around
The address is 2000 Morton Drive, Charlottesville. Guests give the location 9.1 out of 10, mainly for road access and nearby restaurants.
The two points of interest in our data are the Robert E. Lee Monument (Charlottesville, Virginia), about 3 km away, and the Equestrian statue of Stonewall Jackson (Charlottesville, Virginia), about 3.2 km away. Those are roughly 38 and 40 minutes on foot, unverified straight-line estimates, so both are far. Check what is at those sites today before planning a visit, and plan on a car or taxi.
Our data does not include confirmed public transport near the hotel. Assume you will need a car.
What guests say
Breakfast earns the most praise: an extensive buffet with hot and cold options such as eggs, pancakes and fruit. Location is the other highlight, with easy access to the university, Route 29 and restaurants nearby.
The criticism focuses on the swimming pool. It is described as a large, heated indoor area, but some guests reported slippery surfaces or maintenance issues. Take care if you are swimming with children.
Price and how it compares with our other two picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults put this hotel at about €89.58 per night, roughly €179 for the two nights. That was 47% below the sample median of €169.06. Prices change, so check today's price for your dates.
Our Best Value pick, Hyatt Place Charlottesville, is also a 3-star, with a score of 8.9 at about €135 a night. Our Luxury pick, Kimpton - The Forum Hotel by IHG, is a 4-star with a 9.4 score at about €204 a night.
The English Inn saves you around €45 a night against the Best Value pick, and you still get a pool, gym and breakfast buffet. For a longer stay or a family trip, that gap adds up.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 9 hotels in Charlottesville. The Budget slot goes to the lowest eligible reference price once the upscale choice is set aside, and The English Inn of Charlottesville took it at €89.58. Its score ranks joint 5th of 9, right in the middle, but 2,009 reviews and a good set of facilities make it a safe low-cost option.
