The first second we got there, the innkeeper was inviting and he offered us homemade cookies (which were sooooo good). Then he brought us to our room which was the Blue Ridge. The room was absolutely perfect and very clean. It had a gorgeous view of the mountains and the downtown area. We also ordered chocolate covered strawberries to celebrate my boyfriend and my 4th anniversary and they were very tasty-- we got 12 for $25. In the room also came a book with recommendations for restaurants, sites to visit around the area, and shopping. It also included how many miles away from the inn... very thorough! Breakfast was also amazing. Genuinely it was so so so good!! The scrambled eggs were fluffy, the pancakes with blueberry compote were so light and delicious, and who doesn't love bacon? They had coffee brewing at 7:00 am and had a wide variety of teas. Overall for our overnight stay, we paid I believe roughly $200 which seems totally worth it!! Especially in comparison to the other inns in the area. If we come back to the area, I will for sure go back to the Friendly City Inn!

Lost power and was not refunded the night we didn't stay…read more My thoughtful husband booked a two-night stay for my birthday from the night of 8/15 to check out on 8/17 Checking in was easy. Front desk was nice. The room that we got wasn't too spacious (our 3 kids prefer the spaciousness of Hilton Homewood suites and the like) but it made up for it with the little patio space and easy access to go outside so that we could take our dog out. Not too bad for just a couple of nights. On the 16th we had breakfast at The Mill Room. Upon arrival (around 8:50am) the hostess was confused when we said we prepaid for breakfast. She continued to look confused about us pre-paying online. My husband shrugged and decided let's just deal with it later and sit down to eat. I don't know if it's something that they just started and she was not familiar with, but I thought it was odd. Once we sat down to eat, she came back and she said "oh you got a breakfast package?!" And then proceeded to explain how we charge it to the room and how it gets deducted from the amount we prepaid. The breakfast was good with a selection of the typical items like: eggs, potatoes, sausage, bacon as well as pastries and chia pudding. The freshly made waffles were my favorite. That day we had planned to visit some vineyards and an Orchard, do the typical family Charlottesville experience and then get back to use the sports facility and the pool. It was storming on the way back, so we knew that we weren't going to be able to use the pool. When we were entering the building a gentleman who was also staying there said they had lost power and the whole property seemed to be without power. There were no lights on. There didn't seem to be a generator powering emergency lights or anything like that. Thankfully, our room door did open with our card. This was a bit before 8pm. When my husband called guest services, they said to give it about an hour. I'm not sure if this is what the power company gave them or if this was just an estimated time they came up with. An hour later, we still didn't have power. My husband is a business owner and as much as we want to be unplugged when we have family time. It's not realistic. He needs to be available for any emergencies having to deal with his business or his elderly parents. We decided that we couldn't stay the night in a hot hotel room since the AC didn't have power (it was so hot and humid) and risk not being able to charge our devices. Guest services told him that he wouldn't be charged for the night so we booked with a different hotel, packed up our belongings in the dark with the little light we could get from our phone flashlights. Hopefully we didn't miss anything, but we packed everything in the dark and left around 9pm. On the 17th we checked out of the NEW hotel that we booked and drove back 3 hours to our home. My husband saw that we were indeed charged for the night of the 16th so he called the next day, which was Tuesday the 18th around 5:45pm. He left a message with our room number and information requesting that it be refunded. He did not receive a call back. He also tried to emailing but that just bounced back like their email isn't working. It is now 8/21 and we still have not received back any information regarding the stay being refunded as well as the "breakfast package" for five people, for that following morning.

For the most part the room was clean, but there were some small details that could have been better tended. The mirror in the bathroom needed wiped down and the sink faucet had some dusting of makeup powder for a previous visitor. There were some spots on the carpet that were missed during vacuuming. I would guess their water system is on a well as there was some sulfur odor from the water during showering. That being said the water was soft...so much so that rinsing soap away was difficult. We grabbed the brunch in the tavern in the morning. My husband had the farmhouse bowl which he enjoyed immensely. My pumpkin french toast was delicious as well. The Bloody Mary was tasty with the perfect amount of heat. The room was advertised as alloying a discount on brunch, however we were charged full price. The meal was very good, so we paid with no complaints, but if you stay and then eat, be sure to make sure to get your discount. Overall the stay was great. Just a few small items as mentioned, but nothing that would stop me from visiting again... well except maybe for the sulfur smell shower. We would definitely have brunch there again.

It took about 15 minutes for the server to take our order. About 20 minutes later our food came out of the kitchen but was delivered to another table. Those guests received my husbands meal as it was the same at what he ordered. Mine was returned to the kitchen because they had not ordered the same as I had. About 30 minutes later the meals were delivered to our table, they were correct, however mine was cold. I ordered the crispy chicken pasta and there was about 1 ounce of chicken on the pasta with a side of tough brussel sprouts. I had high hopes for the tavern, I have no desire to go there again. For the quality and portion size the meal prices are too high.

Not much to do around so do not be disappointed if you still chose to come here. See it as a peaceful retreat. We did enjoy the Massanutten water park and the ice skating ring in Bridgewater for a new year eve with the kids! The Inn is a nice old house that has a lot of charme with the cracking floors. The owner is a very nice and friendly person. She made us some very good and filling home made breakfasts (except for the pancakes.... we did not found to our taste). We did also really appreciate the hot tube in the evening after our hike in the cold air of the mountains. The lower rating of 4 stars will be only for the fact we thought the place was not that clean : dust but hardwood floor not forgiving and bed sheets not pristine clean. Few items in china were not clean by previous user. Most certainly due to the fact that this is an old house with a lot of stuff around and tough to maintain alone? Won t blame her for that so much. We were also in the upstairs apartment with 2 rooms (kids were with us) which is in the old part of the house and does not look like the pictures you can see. Much older. The barn, which might be called cottage and or the other rooms for fewer people should be much nicer. But we found the price reasonable and at the end we will come back and still recommend it to other.

The ability to park the car once and leave it for the couple of days was attractive. I couldn't be more pleased with our visit here. The Staff greeted us and was helpful throughout our stay, the historic building is beautiful and well maintained, the front porch has rocking chairs in a covered porch, and there's complimentary coffee in the mornings (and good coffee too!). The room isn't large, but is attractive, the bed was comfortable and the temperature controls worked well. There's a $15 breakfast buffet that we used once. It's typical eggs, potatoes, meats, yogurt, fruit, oatmeal/grits, and OJ. We went for breakfast a few doors down and spent $26 for 2 bagels and one coffee; I don't think this was an outrageous price at a nice hotel in a nice room with good service. There's an indoor pool that looked good, but we were busy and didn't get a chance to use it. The hotel truly is located in a great location. We ate within walking distance of a couple of good restaurants, and a few of the significant attractions are only steps away (although, be warned, the neighborhood is hilly!) The parking is $7.50 per night in a public lot attached to the building. They charge the parking to your room with in-out privileges.

I'm being generous with this review…read more Granted, Hotel 24 S isn't a $500-a-night luxury hotel. We knew that when we booked it. But apparently expecting basic concern, hospitality, and customer service was still expecting too much. The room itself was fine. The real problem started on our second night, when the automatic entrance door--apparently programmed to remain open for approximately one second--closed on my girlfriend's head. The front desk employee came out and seemed unsure what to do. We were told, "You have to wait on the manager." Eventually, the manager appeared, asked my girlfriend if she was "okay," and that was pretty much it. No follow-up. No call to our room. No checking later to see whether she was still okay after BEING HIT IN THE HEAD BY THE HOTEL'S AUTOMATIC DOOR. Nothing. I wasn't expecting a medical team and a fruit basket. I was expecting someone in management to show a little genuine concern for a guest who had just been struck by their door. Then there's the bottled water: $6 for 33 ounces. I've stayed at the Ritz-Carlton and somehow survived without paying that much for water. At Hotel 24 S, apparently hydration is a luxury amenity. The experience continued after we left. My girlfriend accidentally left an expensive sandal in the room, so I called the hotel expecting to speak with someone about lost and found. Nope. I was told to contact ILeftMyStuff.com. Seriously? A guest leaves something in one of your rooms, calls YOUR front desk, and the response is essentially, "We don't handle that"? That pretty much sums up our experience. What was most disappointing wasn't the room, the overpriced water, or even the lost sandal. It was the complete lack of warmth and concern from the front desk and management. Everything felt detached and matter-of-fact--as though helping guests was someone else's department. Perhaps my expectations were simply too high. Rest assured, they'll be considerably lower the next time we venture to this quaint little town.
