Reviews and Ratings
The Oakhurst Inn is a charming place with comfortable rooms and a very attentive and friendly staff. The convenient location close to the University of Virginia campus and downtown activities adds to its appeal. However, the dining options could be more varied, and breakfast is not included in the room rate.
The hotel offers wonderfully decorated rooms, making it an ideal space for getting ready with my bridesmaids. It's remarkably quiet, even on a Saturday evening after a UVa football victory. The property, originally private residences transformed into guest suites, provides a charming ambiance. The service was exceptional with sweet and friendly staff who went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. The location is superb for gatherings, just a short walk to campus and near the Inn's coffee shop. The dining experience at the Oakhurst Cafe was highly recommended. Overall, it's a delightful place to stay with great value for money.
I stayed in one of the cute little houses, steps from the lobby, with a nice common space nearby for relaxing and working. The room had everything I could ever want, from blackout shades to a big screen TV, and was nicely appointed. The service was excellent, with a friendly and professional staff that went out of their way to make my stay comfortable. The hotel's location was perfect, nestled in a charming neighborhood close to the University Grounds. The dining experience was top-notch, offering fine dining at a fair price. Overall, a great stay with fantastic amenities and service.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were spotless, cozy, and had a touch of modern elegance without being overbearing. The quiet ambiance, even on a busy game night, added to the quality of the room. The service was exceptional, with the staff going above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable. The location was ideal, just a stone's throw away from the university and charming local attractions. While the dining options were limited, the overall experience was fantastic.
