About this property

The Townsman: Faulkner Room

The Faulkner Room is a thoughtfully designed third-floor retreat at The Townsman Hotel, featuring a private balcony overlooking the alley below. Blending modern comforts with the charm of a more romantic era, the space feels like a cozy literary hideaway, inviting guests to settle in with a good book or head out for an evening in downtown Charlottesville. With its bohemian design and self-guided check-in, The Townsman offers a boutique hotel experience unlike any other.

Located directly above Charlottesville's historic Downtown Mall, The Townsman places you in the heart of the city's best dining, shopping, entertainment, and nightlife. Step outside to explore local coffee shops, breweries, acclaimed restaurants, boutiques, and live music venues, or venture a short drive to area vineyards, scenic hiking trails, Monticello, and the University of Virginia. Self check-in is simple with a personalized access code, allowing you to arrive on your own schedule and immediately begin enjoying your stay.
​​​​​​​

Please note that The Townsman is a historic building without an elevator, and all guest rooms are accessed by stairs. Because the hotel is located in the center of Charlottesville's vibrant pedestrian district, guests should expect the energy and sounds that come with a lively downtown location.

A perfect spot to stay if you want easy access to restaurants and shopping! Top notch cleanliness and attention to detail down to the complimentary coffee and water. Easy bag drop and parking and quick responding owners. Loved the coffee shop directly below. Would definitely stay here again!

Charming Guesthouse in the perfect location

This guesthouse is super nice. So charming with lots of touches everywhere. You step outside and you are on the Mall in Charlottesville. So much to do, shopping, dining and entertainment. My first time staying there but not my last.

We loved our stay in the Townsman Faulkner room. It just as beautiful as the photos suggest....the lap of luxury! Very clean....everything looks new. Very supportive king bed. It's a third floor unit, but the owners make clear that all the units are up stairs. The Townsman is literally right on the historic pedestrian mall, convenient to everything, but the room is quiet and isolated from any noise on the mall. It's a wonderful stay and a BARGAIN!!

4/10 Poor

Disliked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The room was okay. The sink backed up while the water warmed and there is one tiny trash can. The view from the balcony was of a parking lot and electrical wires. There are three bars that blair music until 2 am and then the patrons play music and laugh and talk until 4 am in the parking lot. There is one way into the building and one way out with no fire escape.The worst part was the host never sent me my building or room code, I had to contact them. They told me they had, but that was completely untrue as I was then told I needed to sign a lease. I read through all my information and it clearly stated if you booked online you had agreed to their terms. They still sent me a multi page lease that said I was responsible for everything and I could be fined and removed for infractions. Smoking seemed to be the biggest thing, even though the parking lot and mall reeked of marijuana. Needless to say I didn't appreciate the lie, then the lease. They also neglected to tell me I may have to step over homeless people, urine and other things to get in the building. As a travel professional my best recommendation is to stay at the Omni or the Renaissance. The price is about the same and my trash, towels and coffee get refreshed. The unhotel was unwelcoming.
