English Inn of Charlottesville

10/10 Excellent

"I have stayed at the English Inn for years but since the remodel it is fabulous! The rooms are clean, the shower pressure and water temperature are great. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The pool is heated and a big part of our stay. The upgrades are appreciated but so glad the original feel of the hotel is still there. "
