I have stayed at many hotels in Charlottesville over the years while visiting family in town, but Boar's Head has consistently been the finest resort and hotel in the area. The rooms are very charming and quaint, and the beds are the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in! The view is gorgeous...we had a view of the lake. The brunch is ...

Did not meet expectations
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/27/06
I am not one to complain, but I need to voice my opinion about this place. I made reservations three months in advance for a room with a view of the lake, and recieved one on the first floor (basement) of one of the buildings. That didn't bother me. What bothered me was the smell of mildew and the dirty bathroom. Toothpaste on the walls and ...

Worst experience ever
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/18/06
Girlfriend and I fell in love with Charlottesville partly becasue of the Boar's Head Inn. On our 2nd trip down from DC, we have never been treated worse. The 'manager' and staff could not accomodate us and acted cavalier when we brought it to their attention. It was so bad, we had to make other arrangements (stayed @ the Omni- great ...

Twice and want more
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/05/05
This is an excellent resort, whether for romantic weekends, business retreats, or family getaways. Nestled in Charlottesville, the resort is secluded, has it's own golf course, spa facilities, raquetball, pool, etc, Each time I've gone the service was impeccable from the room staff to the wait staff. The rooms are Virginia traditional, ...

No longer a great place.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/18/05
What has happened to what used to be a truly exceptional place? Gone is the great service from management, gone is the idyllic environment. It's become a rather crass, highly commercialistic hotel. The main goal seems to be profit not service, at the expense of the guest.

Boar's Head Inn-The Best Value in Charlottesville
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/02/05
My wife and I decided to make a quick escape from the ratrace of DC and took a scenic two hour drive to the Boar's Head Inn in Charlottesville, Virginia. We were treated like royalty from the moment we arrived and were greeted by not one but two doormen. Our room was comfortable and overlooked a scenic pond. We had arranged for spa treatments ...

Not worth it
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/11/04
The Boar's Head Inn is not worth the money they charge! The place is run-down, not "historic." Rooms are tiny and cramped, and only a few have nice views. The Lake on site is stagnant and covered with algae. The bikes and fishing poles that are advertised as part of the "resort fee" are in horrible condition. Overall, ...
