The bus felt unsafe and unreliable. The driver (Sherri) was unprofessional and uncomfortable. We paid cash for 6 hrs which included 20% gratuity. Sherri singled out one of our girls and texted her non stop about a larger tip bc "her company taxes her tip." Sherri also seemed like she had no idea where anything was considering they're a local limo company to Charlottesville. All in all, I never recommend this limo service to anyone!

The only thing I dislike more than kids birthday parties is planning them! They made planning this party an absolute breeze. When you book the party they send you an information packet which also contains free invitations you can fill out and distribute. You have the choice to bring your own food to the event and pay less for the party of have them order pizza. The pizza they order is from Maria's Italian restaurant and is DELICIOUS. They provide drinks, either soda or juice boxes, we went with juice boxes and they also provide pitches of water. They provide all plates, cups and utensils and serve all of it for you. The only thing we brought was the cake and some chips and snack type things for the kids who don't like pizza. The cake I had made was huge and really intricate. I was worried it would get messed up. So after picking it up around noon I called them asking if I could bring the cake over early and they happily obliged. They even met me out front of the place to help me bring it inside because it was pouring raining! I cannot say anything bad about this place....well besides the fact they don't serve wine or beer The place has a play area in one large room and a party area in another large room. The play area has inflatables, ride on toys, bounce areas, and some other neat things like a hamster ball and a orbit looking thing. So you play for an hour and then move to the other side for pizza, cake and party stuff. The party side also has arcade games and ride on toys that are motorized so no one gets bored! It was an awesome experience and I plan to have many more parties here for my kids in the future! HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Eli's! Wonderful place, great staff! Exceptionally nice owner! I cannot say anything bad about this place!!! My daughter and son had an amazing time and my daughter said when we left it was the best party ever!!!

They were very helpful, clear in their direction and easy to work with. The venue itself is the best in Staunton. The vibe/feel of the Banquet room just cannot be recreated in a modern hotel. We used simple decorations of balloon bouquets, trees with white lights and then allowed the room to express itself. It's a wonderful space! I would definitely use this venue again if I were hosting a party of any kind....reunion, work reception, customer appreciation....etc. Any where you want something special....this is your place!

The American Hotel Banquet Room was very easy to work with from afar. The first thing that pulled us to the Banquet Room was the cost. Compared to Northern Virginia prices, it was a steal! We also loved that we were able to bring our own alcohol, which saved us probably thousands of dollars. My husband and the groomsmen set up the room beginning at 9 am that morning and I was told that Gary was also excellent to work with. With everything being said and done, I absolutely would have paid more for the space because it was worth every penny. And we got a lot of compliments for picking the room, because it is very original and beautiful!

The food was exceptional. The caprese salad and the leek and cheddar puff hors d'oeurves deserve special mention. We also got high marks all around for the lam, beef, and chicken entrees. For dessert we had the panna cota and creme brûlée, which both came in small cups, which was a bit strange but they were great nonetheless. Special note to the service here. They know how to balance the wait staff so that they aren't constantly hovering, but also nonexistent to the point where you have to go looking for them. Everyone was serviced was care.

Oakhurst Inn is a clean, orderly, well stocked vintage inn in Charlottesville. My room was clean,…read morecomfortable, with nice furniture and the bathroom in excellent shape. Quality linens. Squeaky clean hardwood floors all over. Tasteful old furniture. Every staff member I spoke to was polite, courteous, and happy to help. The self serve stations for hot coffee, tea, and cold water was a convenient resource outside of the door. This inn appears to be made of several former homes that were turned into a campus of buildings making the Oakhurst Inn. It's not a single building. The small lawn in the center of the complex has benches, hammock, and a fireplace that seems welcoming and nice, but I wasn't aware of them until I left. There were a few problems during my stay. The inn requires guests to use valet parking which is $40 per night, not disclosed before my stay, and often required a long wait for the valet to return. This makes it hard to retrieve anything you need from your car. The front desk staff are often missing from the front desk - I had to wait 15 minutes for someone to come back and check me in on arrival. Likewise, the bartender is often away from station and you might wait 10 or 30 minutes for the bartender to return. There is no mini fridge or microwave in the hotel rooms. The pool area was extremely dark at night, making it tricky or dangerous to navigate. The pool water was lukewarm, not warm at all. The sauna was out of order and the doorway was small and obscured by chairs. Not accessible and difficult to find. This inn has no gym. The lobby is very small and has no seating for guests or places to hang their luggage, although the nearby lounge has a few leather couches and a fireplace that doesn't appear to be working. Not the most welcoming or convenient. Overall I don't think it's worth the hefty price tag and would stay elsewhere when I return to Charlottesville.
