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.

Great place to stay and the location is amazing. Walk out your door and you are on the Mall for dining and shopping.Parking was close by and you have your own designated parking space. Would recommend The Townsman for anyone looking to stay in Charlottesville.

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.

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!
