Hotel Econo Lodge North Charlottesville (Charlottesville, USA)

The rooms have recently been renovated and are equipped with new air-conditioners, fridges, microwaves and TVs, and guests found them to be quite cozy.

Guests noted that the front-desk staff was friendly and professional and tried its best to accommodate special requests such as floor or early check-ins. They also seemed to be knowledgeable concerning local recommendations and were willing to share such helpful details.

There are many restaurants within a short drive of the hotel, which is fairly easy to reach from the highway. Guests appreciated the proximity to the airport, which is less than 15 minutes away and found it to be a good base from where to explore the area, especially the Monticello and the national park.

A few guests noted that despite the recent extensive renovations, some details don't seem to have been addressed yet. For example, the ceilings appear to be peeling due to their age, the bathrooms have some moldy areas and some of the showers don't drain well.

As several guests reported, the hotel isn't soundproof, as you can hear other guests' conversations or movements, and the outside traffic and parking lot noise can also be bothersome. They recommended asking for a room on the top floor and toward the back of the property to minimize the noise level as much as possible.

A few guests noted that there are a few areas that could use more attention on the housekeepers' part such as the baseboards and corners, but this is a minor complaint given the overall satisfaction with the cleanliness of the rooms.
