$225 and no coffee
I bumped my rating up from one to two stars because most of the staff was helpful. The reason I’m not gushing is that all I wanted for my $225 was a bed and a cup of coffee upon awakening, but no one in the process of checking me in told mentioned that I would have to ask for an espresso machine to be brought up to my room. So after searching for a coffee machine for five minutes after dragging myself out of bed, I had to shower, dress and go downstairs to get my cuppa Joe. Also, the hotel tries so hard to be so modern and cool that some of the lighting fixtures were impossible to turn on, like over the table in the corner. I just gave up after a while. Also, like most American hotels, the pillows were too fluffy for me, so I didn’t sleep well. And finally, I was disappointed in the restaurant offering so little in the way of vegetarian choices and the manager who was more than a bit snarky about it.

Post Hurricane Helene stay
We arrived to the Kimpton/Charlottesville after a long, 8 hour grueling drive from hurricane Helene stricken Asheville. We had slept in our car, were evacuated from our hotel in Asheville, and lived through a harrowing experience there. The woman at the front desk could not have been more unfriendly, inhospitable. She was only concerned that we had mistakenly made our reservation for Monday, instead of Sunday (we didn't have WIFI, power, water for 3 days). She let us know how lucky we were that they had a room available. The hotel was seemingly EMPTY, only saw a few people at the bar, and restaurant in the morning. The woman who served our breakfast was also extremely unfriendly, almost rude when I asked if I could get fruit with my oatmeal. I would never stay in this hotel ever again. I almost asked the woman at the front desk why would she ever consider a job in the hospitality business.

Wonderful property. The front desk is very nice. The hotel is pricey as it is and then you add $30 valet plus tip. The whole property is very classy, and generally clean. Its the rooms that need attention. I walked into a room with bulbs not working, there was an old soap on the soap holder, the body wash was on top of the toilet bowl. Just little things but not so little if you think why was there an old bar soap?
