14 reviews for Doubletree Hotel Charlottesville, Charlottesville
Fabulous Place
By Sal, 08/26/09
Be sure you get updated reviews, hopefully in the year that you visit. Most of these reviews are old and we were nervous of staying there. Upon our arrival we were greeted with friendly staff and they offered to take our luggage to our room (for a tip, of course). We were very impressed with the marble floors and the architecture of the building. Our rooms were surprisingly spacious and in excellent shape. In our double bed room, we did not have a microwave or refrig but we didn't need them either. I presume we can add that for a fee. However, we were through priceline and got a tremendous rate, so we were not too picky. The food is good, but you have to keep asking for the waiter. All in all, we found this place to be equal to Hampton Inn quality. Next to the hotel is sams and walmart. IHOP is one light away. The shopping mall is 5 lights away. The pool is indoors and very public, so wear something modest. They have a whirlpool as well. We LOVED our stay! And we shall return again. I am soo glad they renovated it. Very clean, crisp, and no noises whatsoever. The only negative thing is that the air is preset and we cannot warm the room above 75 degrees. Bring your heater with you just in case. As we were departing, they were installed HD Flat screen TVs in every room.......great........We shall return in one week.

Stay was OK
By S, 07/07/08
The website was deceiving and apparently photos not changed in long time as we were specifically looking for an outdoor pool....when we got there, figured out the nice outdoor landscaping used to be the pool and now the pool is indoor and very public to everyone inside the hotel.... Also, the air-conditioning unit was horridably loud and never turned off! Was impossible to sleep with the fan noise all night long, so we turned the air-conditioning off so we could sleep and prayed it didn't get too hot in the room until the next morning. Lastly, hall noise with people walking to their rooms late evening, early morning hours was not well insulated so that voices heard very loud and woke us up both evenings we stayed.

I love this place!!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/27/08
I had a wonderful stay at the Doubletree Charlottesville. The Hotel is being renovated, but I didnt mind. It looks wonderful! The staff is great. Very friendly and helpful. The cookies are wonderful as well as the new menu the restaurant has. I will always stay at the Doubletree Charlottesville.

Not worth money or words
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/01/08
The reason my title is this. The hotel is too old and is in need of some serious renovation work. the work being done now is sub par. The staff unit is in need of some new personell with a freindly demeanor. The room has some many patches, color different on the wall. Beside the ceiling. It has a mold and musty odor to it. In my opion is they just want your money and think cookies will solve the problems.

BUGS IN MY ROOM!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/03/07
I stayed at the Charlottesville Doubletree Hotel in July/2007. Not convenient location, unless you wish to go to Walmart or Sam's or purchase a car. These facilities are in the immediate area of the hotel. Another yet very important complaint is I had bugs in my room. I had noticed a black bug crawling on my son's bed and remnants of a bug on the wall above my bed. I brought this issue to the desk personnel and they gave me some cookies :( In addition, I brought this issue to the attention of Hilton/Doubletree Hotel customer service and there was no response to this issue--poor customer service! TQM? My opinion--I think not!

NOT WORTH THE MONEY
By Autumn, 03/19/07
This hotel is not worth the money. This hotel is very outdated and the price for room isn't worth $100. The rooms were equal or lesser to a Holiday Inn. It took us 20 mins to get a drink from the bar and we couldn't get food because the bar tender was the waiter, hostess, and cook????? If you don't mind lots of kids running around in the lobby with no shirts, or shoes this is the place for you...... We tried to speak with a supervisor and no one was on duty on Monday???

I didn't stay at the DoubleTree as a guest, but I did have a conference there. Service-wise, they were very accommodating and met our needs well, however, the facility itself needs updating, and the conference rooms on the lower level are not very welcoming at all. Dark hallways and hot rooms were just not a good environment for my guests.

They did spray the ants after the 4th call
By kayakzz, 08/29/06
There were ants all over the toilet and they were big and mean looking. I had to call the front desk 4 times before they sent someone to spray the ants. It was a good thing they had a bathroom in the lobby. Other than that, the place was ok. I would recommend another hotel if in Charlottesville.

Troubletree
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/10/05
This is a very tired hotel needing a complete overhaul. Had reservations for 8-9 Aug, 2005. Ditto to the other reviewer who commented about the cable being out and the staff not comping a movie. Went to our non-smoking room -- it reeked! The furniture there and in our next room seemed to have been acquired from a frat house. I so wanted to open a window -- the whole place could use a good airing out. The wallpaper in our room was all peeling/patched, walls very dirty, generally icky all around. The two pools are the nicest part. Of course, there were no towels, so I had to go request that from the front desk. Someone promptly brought out a few. Back to the room for a shower -- hair dryer didn't work. I ended up sneaking into another room and "borrowing" one. Staff was polite enough, though not very accomodating. We checked out after one night (had to give notice the night before) and moved to the Courtyard by Marriott at UVA -- very pleased with the Courtyard and recommend it (same price). I noticed a little card saying the Doubletree is part of the Hilton family. I suspect this one is from the Paris Hilton side -- overused and a bit skanky.

Not impressed
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/09/05
I travel a lot for business so I frequent many hotels. The room quality was decent, however not as clean as it should be. I found hairs on the bed that weren't mine and the room felt damp. The cable was out for 3 days due to a storm and they would not even comp a movie. Not very impressd! The cookies were awesome though!
