"Prompt, friendly service with a smile despite the cold weather."

"The parking/valet/guest service team at the Draftsman Charlottsville is awesome! From calling in advance to request robes be in our room, to arrival and ease of check-in, the restaurant and bar staff, Rosy in housekeeping and a shout out to Charlie and Lauren at the valet stand! We can’t wait to be back!"

"Charlie the valet was awesome l. Stay was great too. Draftsman is always my first choice when in charlottesville. Will continue to stay here"

"Everyone was extremely kind and accommodating. The staff was polite and made us feel like we were at home. My son just had surgery and I was in and out of valet in my car. The staff made it appear as it was never a hassle. In fact, Lauren went out of her way (with a smile!) to get a bag out of the trunk of my car and bring it down to the lobby for me. So grateful!"

"I am a frequent traveler and a Marriott Titanium Elite member, so I base my hotel reviews on both the brand’s standards and my personal experiences. I stayed three nights at The Draftsman, Charlottesville, University, Autograph Collection and had a very pleasant experience overall. We stayed in a standard room, which was nice, well maintained, and fully functional for the duration of our stay. I was recognized as a Titanium Elite member at check-in and received a breakfast credit each morning. Breakfast was menu-based rather than a buffet, and I quite enjoyed both the selection and the quality of the food. Service in the restaurant was friendly and attentive. The staff throughout the hotel were consistently pleasant, including the front desk, valet, and restaurant staff. We chose to valet park the car during our stay, and the valet service was very responsive and efficient. We selected this hotel as a base for exploring presidential history in the area, including visits to Monticello and other nearby historic sites. The location worked well for this purpose, offering easy access by car while still being close to the University area. There are a few food and coffee options nearby, though the main downtown area of Charlottesville is about a mile away and not especially walkable. Overall, this was a comfortable and well-run property with good service, solid elite recognition, and a pleasant atmosphere. I enjoyed my stay and would be happy to stay here again"
