About this property

The Jeff is a boutique hotel and private oasis located on Charlottesville's historic Downtown Mall. Nestled above the world famous Jefferson Theater, you'll find sleek spaces, soaring archways, and subtle luxury with a rock and roll edge. Once you're inside these soundproof walls the world recedes like a dream – until you're ready to emerge, refreshed, with the heart if the city on your doorstep.

Jeff Suite 201: Mall-facing! Each room is individually furnished with a distinct personality. Think effortless cool, creamy suede, and desert colors with pops of quirky humor. To ensure privacy and true getaway vibes, The Jeff was designed to be entirely self-service (no front desk or need for check-in). Upon booking, you will receive a unique code that gives you access to your room.

The Jeff Hotel Suites feature a luxurious, custom-made king bed - perfect to settle down in after a hard day's rockin', two flat screen TVs, and a seating area with an additional sofa bed and large windows overlooking the Downtown Mall. A Marshall amp speaker is provided to kick back and enjoy your favorite tunes. Each room is equipped with a wet bar, mini-fridge, Nespresso machine. Our spacious en-suite bathrooms boast high ceilings, skylights, and walk-in showers.

Purchase of each room comes with one, single-use parking voucher for the nearest parking garage – about a 3-minute walk from the entrance. Being on a pedestrian mall the hotel has no on-site parking, but we think that having C'ville's most popular bars, restaurants and music venues mere steps away is a great trade-off!

Other amenities:
•High speed internet
•Clothes steamer
•Hair dryer
•2 heating and cooling zones
•24-hour guest support

*Note – The Jeff Hotel is located in a historic building above the nationally renowned Jefferson Theater and has no elevator. Each room is only accessible via stairs, in some cases multiple flights.
Due to the active nature of the theater below, there may be times where there are crowds outside of the main entrance waiting for an event or during an event.

The room was clean and decorated beautifully. The location is very convenient. The reason I give 4 stars is it smells moldy. It is faint, but it is there. I read one of the reviews and they said it smelled. I agree. Also, there is a step down from bedroom area to the living , it could be dangerous for some people. I almost tripped one time . Maybe it needs to be marked better. I would consider staying there again, the location is great!

Perfect place to enjoy downtown mall!

We absolutely loved it! The location was amazing with a beautiful window overlooking the downtown mall. We went to many restaurants and two shows just steps away. The room was beautiful and super clean. The decor and amenities were just right. Checkin and checkout was effortless. Quick responses from hosts, even after hours. Any future visits to Charlottesville will definitely include staying at the Jefferson!

Wouldn't stay here again

From the musty smell upon entering the room to the stained carpet and generally tired/dirty looking furniture, the property just wasn't clean enough to warrant a repeat stay.

About the host

Hosted by Drew Thomasson

Created in 1976, Guesthouses Reservation Services in Charlottesville, Virginia emerged at a pivotal time in the hospitality industry where travellers wanted a more personalized and comfortable stay wherever they travelled. The bed & breakfast was a largely European phenomenon before today's time and Guesthouses sought to bring this type of travel to the United States. With the announcement of the Queen Elizabeth of England's trip to Charlottesville, Guesthouses Reservation Services was born to accommodate all the tourists funneling into the city to set eyes on the Queen. It was a roaring success in Charlottesville and gave visitors a peak into how the locals lived and gave homeowners a chance to showcase their homes and provide exceptional experiences. Newspaper and magazines all over the country (USA Today, Travel & Leisure, Virginia Pilot), all saw the benefits of this new phenomenon of Bed and Breakfast accommodations.

Guesthouses was started by four women who saw this need for change in the hospitality business long before the times of AirBnB! Guesthouses was the first of its type in the country. The motto of "Guesthouses is YOU and works for you" still stands today over its forty years of ownership. Guesthouses historical, and current, aim is provide guests with a true authentic Charlottesville experience and accommodation that differentiates itself from the traditional hotel.

In July of 2019, Drew Thomasson, a Charlottesville native, became the 5th owner to continue the long legacy of Guesthouses. Drew, son of two UVA Alumni, grew up on Rugby Road immersed in the UVA and Charlottesville culture. Even though he decided to venture to Tennessee for college, he has always been a Wahoo at heart. He has called Charlottesville home ever since from returning from college. Being that Drew had experience in the vacation rental industry and property management (locally and internationally), he saw a great opportunity to take the legacy of what Guesthouses had already established and apply that towards the current market trends of today.
