"My stay at The Doyle Hotel was excellent from beginning to end. The hotel is charming, clean, and easy to settle into. Everything felt well cared for and thoughtfully run. LaTonya at the front desk made a lasting impression. She is warm, welcoming, and professional. Her leadership shows in how smoothly the front desk operates and how well the team works together. She made check-in easy and made me feel valued as a guest. The rest of the staff was..."

Real reviews from guests
"We had a great stay at the Doyle. The room was clean and spacious. It’s in an excellent location, right downtown and very walkable. The rooftop bar had good food and awesome service. Even though the hotel has a virtual check in, they were still quick to respond to any questions we had. I highly recommend staying there when in Charlottesville!"
"Great hotel! Check in was easy, the room was nice, food was great, and the rooftop bar was an amazing place to hang out. On top of all of that the location as perfect to walk everywhere we wanted to go. Perfect relaxing weekend getaway!"
"Fabulous location. Super friendly staff. Cool coffee/light eatery in the adjacent building. Nice rooftop bar! In January, 2026 the hotel was transitioning to a “virtual staff” so no one answers the phone. The new system wasn’t working well yet but I think they will get this worked out. Overall great hotel and I would probably go back."
"I stayed with my partner for our anniversary and the hotel was very pretty and the service was incredible. I accidentally booked two rooms and didn’t realize until the day before, and they were so kind when assisting me in cancelling it and even gave me a refund. We thought everything was so cool with how modern and high-tech it was. We ate at the cafe in the morning for breakfast and it was so cool the way it was..."
"Arrived in Charlottesville after a long train ride and stayed at this wonderful hotel. Stephen was very welcoming and helped me book a room via website. The hotel is largely self-service, the lobby is very nice, clean, and great for co-working. The employees at the cafe were very nice and the food was good. My room (standard king) was clean, comfortable, minimalist, suitable for a solo-traveler like myself. Gym is small but the hotel is next to running trails and..."
"Stephen - guest services, Jason - valet, and the girl from the cafe were so accommodating from beginning to end and even after. I left behind a signed show poster for the band I was in town to visit. I was able to contact a girl who served me a latte on the way out at their adjacent cafe who went to Stephen herself with my message. Together as a genuinely caring team, they helped me secure my item with..."
"We had a great experience! Very convenient to check in before we got there and be given our room assignment and code to get in. We were also greeted by a staff member when we got there and he was helpful for providing general info about the hotel and attached restaurant. This was the perfect location to get to both UVA campus (20 min walk) and the downtown area (10 min walk). Only confusing thing was parking. There’s a public..."
