We enjoyed our stay so much. The room is as described. It was just like staying at a high quality hotel. The room was comfortable and very clean. In the morning we grabbed coffee from the coffee shop close by and enjoyed it on the balcony of the room. Extremely convenient location and the parking was not an issue at all!

Location is amazing and room is spacious. My 5 year old slept in the pull out sofa and it was comfortable and perfect for her. Parking is very convenient considering how busy the area is. Easy to catch the trolley right outside your door to get to the stadium.

Awesome location, easy booking, checkin and checkout. Room is nicely decorated with great amenities, particularly the Nespresso machine. Only issue was the comfort of the mattress.

The Merriwether Room at The Townsman was a calming, updated retreat in a great location. It was convenient to be able to walk to the many restaurants and shops on and nearby the Downtown Mall as well as easily drive to other Charlottesville locations.

Great Location

Reserved parking close to the room, with convenient place to unload vehicle. Room was clean and nicely appointed. Location is excellent, right on the downtown mall. Some other reviews mentioned noise from nightlife, but we did not experience any issues.

Townsman

Property is in a convenient location at the pedestrian mall in Charlottesville. Great walkable location, room is spacious, clean, and a comfortable bed. Since it is located downtown it is loud in the evening outside the balcony.

5-Star Stay in the Hidden Gem

Our anniversary weekend in Charlottesville was exceptional, due in no small part to our stay in the Meriwether Room at The Townsman. This “unhotel” concept delivers the perfect blend of independence and elegance, with seamless access to everything Charlottesville has to offer. The location couldn't be better, with local restaurants, wine bars, a historic movie theater, and so much more right outside the door! The room itself was beautifully decorated and spotless, with a comfortable king bed, private balcony, sitting area, and free WiFi. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a stylish stay with total autonomy and unbeatable access to Charlottesville’s best. We’ll definitely be back!

Great Room, Steep Stairs

Our room (Meriwether) was a wonderful little nook. Very comfortable and quiet. It was clean as a new penny and everything was updated and in excellent repair. The little deck was nice, but open to the one right next door. May make some new friends if you're so inclined. The stairs to access the rooms are steep and make a turn that might be challenging for anyone with mobility or cardio-respiratory issues. The facility is not wheelchair accessible.Also note that parking is about 2 city blocks away and unsecured. We did not experience any issues, but being residents of a large city where auto break-ins and thefts are commonplace it was a bit unnerving. Lots of homeless hang out in the "downtown mall." Most are passive, but there are a few panhandlers and some obviously suffering from mental illness. If you don't wish to interact with them just pass on by and don't make eye contact.Since we were there early in the week (Monday and Tuesday) many of the shops and restaurants were closed or closed early. Just the nature of the area. Seems like it would be more lively on the weekend. Hopefully the restaurant personnel would be a bit more congenial if busier. Most seemed bothered by having customers come in. (especially at "The Iron" - not a good experience there)We would stay at the Townsman again, but pack lighter and park at a secured pay-to-park lot and Uber to get around. It would be worth the extra expense especially if you have a "nice" vehicle.

Just an awesome property in a great location! I stayed a couple nights with my wife and 17 year old son and we really enjoyed the property! The location is awesome, provided parking a short walk away, easy walk to UVA and down the mall, nice deck to sit outside. Communication with the host was top notch, and getting in and out of the property was very convenient. When I return to Charlottesville I would definitely stay at this property.
