Stayed here two nights while attending concerts downtown. Worked fine for me but my wife wouldn't have liked it. Convenient to downtown. Hotel room interior recently updated with flat screen TVs, furnishings, etc. Free wireless internet but unreliable. Beds were plush and comfortable. Bathroom in dire need of renovation.. door hardware falling off, bath water slow to drain, loud and s-l-o-w toilet. Don't get a room near the elevator- low hum audible during each movement, but didn't bother me much as I'm out like a light regardless. Lobby coffee burned.. go out for coffee or make it in your room. Didn't eat breakfast at the hotel, as the menu looked overpriced and uninteresting. Parking lot near main door well lit but fills up before midnight, forcing you to park on the darker side or rear of building.

We were taking a tour of the University of Virginia, and at the end of the day were looking for a nice hotel before getting up and heading home in the morning. We used the GPS to find the closest Holiday Inn. Unfortunately, the Holiday Inn-University directions took us to a park in town. So we plugged in Holiday Inn, Monticello, thinking it would be fun to do a driveby of Jefferson's home before heading out. The hotel was on the outskirts of town. We got one room with two double beds. It was very nice, as most Holiday Inns are. Flat screen TV, comfy beds, nice, roomy bathroom, wifi. We had a drink in the bar, which was empty except for us, and dinner in the restaurant, which was empty except for us. Could have been the season -- early January -- or the off-the-beaten-path location. But the servers and the front desk folks were very pleasant, so we enjoyed our brief stay.

Here's a tip. You can't "drive by" Monticello. Much like Disney World, you have to park in a lot and buy an expensive ticket and shuttle up to the house, even if you have no desire to go inside and look around. We didn't park.

The hotel suprised me. We had a king sized bed as requested. The room was perfect. It was clean and the staff was great. I liked that it was a non smoking hotel in all the rooms. Even the hall smelled clean. The rooms are updated. Had a nice flat screen tv. Will def stay again if down this way!

Great price, so-so facility. Noisy because overlooks highway. Just worn out. People at front desk very nice and helpful too. Bed was fine.
