Exceptionally nice hotel
Exceptionally nice hotel. Big rooms, great public spaces, good breakfast. Located between the law and business schools at UVA, a real plus is gorgeous gardens with an extensive path system that allows for real hikes for those so inclined. The only downside is there is no on-site parking - must use valet or do a ten minute trek to a parking garage.

$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.
