Eric, Jul 2017
Pros (+) The Cavalier Hotel is definitely in a great location. My daughter and I stayed here for orientation. The proximity to the parking garage and UVA bus stop could not be beat. It was also nice that I was able to walk from campus back to the hotel.
Cons (-) The hotel is showing its age. Unfortunately the hotel will be demolished this May per the hotel staff.

Cons (-) Rooms must have their curtains drawn at all times to maintain privacy - that makes the room very dark & dull. Choice of cable TV channels could have been better.

Pros (+) I stayed at UVA for nearly a month on-campus for a teaching seminar. For my last night in town, we stayed here, and it was excellent. Staff members were accommodating and polite. They helped us check in early. They even gave our little dog some water and treats. Even though the price was higher than normal that weekend, it was still a great value. You can't beat the proximity to UVA and the Corner...
Cons (-) It's an older building, but the renovations are nice! The bathrooms are tiny, but it's to be expected at an older place. Nothing too bad to say about this place, especially on a weekend when the prices are lower. Definitely good for a short stay, too.
