Overall a great little place to stay. Once you park, finding it was a little difficult, but one quick phone call, and we were directed right to it.

Our stay at the Townsman was perfect! The location right on the pedestrian mall is unbeatable, especially since you get a dedicated parking spot only a couple of minutes’ walk away. We did have to do some driving during our stay, and knowing we had parking made it much more relaxing. The room itself is super cute and very clean. The communication was excellent, and I especially enjoyed the very precise directions we got for where to park, how to get to the hotel, etc. Next time we need to stay in Charlottesville we will definitely check out the Townsman again.

Parking was a bit a walk from unit, but well worth the convenience of the location. Very close to the shopping on the street and open mall below. We would definitely reserve this unit again.

This sweet boutique hotel was the absolute best stay! It brought the amenities, charm, location, and comfort that we needed for our stay. I’ve already recommended this spot to friends when they visit Charlottesville and hope to return and stay again. We loved the aesthetic, it was easy to get anywhere from the location, it was tidy, quiet, and had everything we needed plus the allure of more privacy and unique furnishings and features. Communications from owner/manager were great as well!

Overall, the place was clean and just as expected. We appreciated the convenience of being right at the end of the Downtown Mall, the free parking just a few minutes' walk away & the nice little balcony.A few issues however:1. CommunicationMy email said: “Instructions for checking in and checking out will appear three days before you arrive.” Nothing came. I messaged the host the day prior to share this problem, but they only replied to my other question. I only received the instructions AFTER we struggled mightily to figure the parking, location, and door & building codes, which we finally had to resort to calling the host for. The nice lady on the phone said she would email, text, and chat me link with all check-in information immediately, but I *never received it by text or email (only by chat). She said she texted me twice. 2. SmellThere is an overwhelming "toxic cleaner" scent to both the stairs/foyer and the room itself. Luckily, at least we were able to air it out some with fresh air from the balcony.3. Unsettling homeless situationThere were several persons experiencing homelessness and mental health issues who especially liked to congregate on the chairs and benches just outside of our door, even late into the evening.4. We were hoping to be able to store our luggage which contained food items and supplements indoors prior to check in but that courtesy was not available.

Lovely and convenient

First, the only difference between the listing and the room was the bedframe, but I had to be honest! Gorgeously comfortable bed, though. Everything was lovely, we loved being right in the middle of the mall. Other than the street noise (which was expected and not unreasonable) it was nice and quiet. Check in was smooth and communication was clear. If we are ever back in the area, we would stay here again!
