Hampton Inn Charlottesville

This was the second Hampton Inn in a row that we stayed at. They tend to blend together after a while, but they are a high quality mid-range hotel and they all have a very nice free breakfast and free local calls. The local calls are less important since they all have wi-fi and now that I have a cell phone.

There are two Hampton Inns in Charlottesville. One is downtown. This is the other one that is out near the University of Virginia. We checked into the Hampton Inn a little after 3:30. There were a lot of kids in the lobby - the clerk said they were there for a swim meet at UVA. We did have a place to sit at breakfast though unlike in Charleston WV.

There was a Chili's next door, and if you wanted to walk a bit farther (or drive) there were several other places to eat in the shopping center.

Unique Quality: Charleston's pool was indoor and heated - this one was outdoor, and obviously it is closed in the winter.

The room was very comfortable, with a coffee maker in the bathroom - we didn't really need that though because the free breakfast included a place to get hot water, and stuff to put in it (tea, cocoa). There was also a TV and one of the bed had a lapboard on it for using a laptop, or just writing. This also is standard.

Bob doesn't like the duvet idea (the quilts etc inside a casing), but I think it is fine.
