$8 for parking all of a sudden. They have plenty of parking and its in the middle of nowhere. Never greet customers correctly. Most unfriendly
Staff I have come across.

I had an excellent stay at the Holiday Inn Express in Charlottesville, VA. The property is like new, exceptionally clean, and in a great location with easy access to everything I needed. The staff was friendly, attentive, and consistently helpful throughout my stay. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and great service.

I would try to find another hotel. This hotel has a heating system thats blasts a loud nonstop fan all night. You can't turn it off. The maintenance of the room was poor like a slow draining sink. The bathroom was not very clean. The worst part was the stale bagels, bread and muffins at breakfast.

Don't stay here. They have the audacity to charge you for parking while you're staying in this here. Of course you're not told this until you are checking in. I've stayed at hotels with parking garages that validate your parking for you because you're staying in their establishment. This is subpar treatment from Holiday Inn Express

Spoke with hotel x 2 after making reservation confirming we would be arriving late. When we arrived even later than expected (add 4 hours- due to construction and delay with rental car-3am) there was not a room with 2 double beds available for 3 people. It had not been assigned despite receiving a call for my credit card information earlier that day.
Attendant on call reached out to her manager who did not respond back. Attendant gave us two single bed rooms instead. When attempting to get in our room, we found someone else in it. Went back to attendant and was given a different room. In the morning, I spoke with the attendant as instructed to facilitate a reassignment. The attendants did not know where to put us. They then figured out a room to switch us to but it wasn’t ready. At this point, we just wanted to sleep. The manager then called and insisted we change rooms by check out time as we were being “accommodated”. Since I had 2 nights booked, I didn’t have a check out time that day. We had to wait to get our new room delaying catching up on needed sleep. After all the commotion, we couldn’t get back to sleep. This ruined our evening plans attending a wedding. Would have been great to just have the room we paid and had a reservation for when we arrived!
