About this hotel

This property will no longer be managed by Stay Charlottesville as of the end of November 2024.

Designed for those who love classic comforts, the Secretariat room features antique woods, leather accents, houndstooth patterns and gold finishes that create a warm, Virginian retreat.

The Townsman is the newest concept in hotel accommodations. Instead of charging you for things you’ll never use, we’ve pared ourselves down to the essentials. Incredible locations. Beautiful rooms. Great prices. Once you book with us, we’ll give you a code that grants you access to the hotel and your room. After that, all you have to do is show up. No check-in. No hassles. Just a boutique hotel, steps from the places you most want to be.

Where are you located exactly?
We’re at 211 West Main Street, right on Charlottesville’s historic Downtown Mall. The location can't be beat in the middle of the downtown action! We like to note to future guests that this is a popular area (especially on the weekends) and the noise level on the Downtown Mall may be higher particularly on Friday and Saturday evenings.

Where do Townsman guests park?
Parking: Parking for guests is located at 300 Preston Ave. in Charlottesville. There is one spot for each room located directly to the left of the main sign for the parking lot. Each Spot has signage that has "The Townsman" and the corresponding name of the room on them. Please only park in the spot designated for your room.

How does the code work?
Our front door and the door to your room will feature a keypad into which you’ll enter your personal code. The code we give you when you book is given to no one else and only works for the duration of your stay.

What services do you offer?
What we offer is a room you’ll love in a downtown location that can’t be beat. To keep our prices where you want them, we don’t have an onsite staff, front desk, room service or amenities you may not need; but we do have Charlottesville’s downtown walking mall, restaurants, coffee shops, a movie theater, and local boutique shopping just steps away.

Do you have Internet access?
Yes! The Wi-Fi code will be in your room.

Will there be a phone in my room?
We do not have phone service but the building does have good cell service, so bring your phone and stay connected.

On the first-floor landing you’ll find:
A refrigerator available to all guests
Complimentary bottles of water & coffee

All guests of Stay Charlottesville receive exclusive access to Common House during your stay. Common House is a local membership based social club that offers a unique space to work, dine, and engage. There is a co-work space available during weekdays, a full service restaurant offering breakfast, lunch, and dinner as well as a roof-top terrace with sweeping views of Charlottesville.

The location was really unique and convenient to anything you would want to do. I could see how the weekends could be noisy but being right in the middle of everything is expected. The cons are that the sliding door didn’t lock and the light on my side of the bed didn’t work (looked broken maybe) and the mattress needs replacing. Everything was clean but the mattress hurt our backs so bad. I think sleeping on the floor would have not hurt as bad. All in all it would be perfect if those things could be fixed.

Busy area when it’s nice out but the noise wasn’t a problem. Has a city feel because you can walk out of the building to dozens of food places, shops, and bars. A movie theater located directly across the walk way. Would definitely stay here again. The wine bottle opener left in the desk came in clutch! Thank you!!!

Secretariat at The Townsman was a lovely room exactly as described in the listing. We were expecting a lot of noise due to the nightlife close by, but it was quiet and we had no noise issues at all. Comfy bed and cute space. Love the ability to walk right out into the Downtown Mall area. Will likely choose The Townsman the next time we visit!

The place was very clean and up to date. Really enjoyed the location and accessibility to shops/restaurants. Parking was easy and free. The tv was spotty and worked sort of but this wasn’t a make or break.

You can’t beat the location of the Townsman! Loved that you could walk just about everywhere. We had a little trouble at check-in, but a quick phone call and we were in our room. Would stay again.

Location was great. Room had great amenities. Our door code didn’t work and it took a little time to get in touch with someone. Made check in a little stressful. Only other comment is that patio should be swept.

Could not have asked for a better location. Right on main street with easy access to restaurants and stores. Got a little loud at night but that is the trade-off for proximity to everything. The room was cute, clean, and comfortable.

Cute room on the mall

Cute room on the mall

This was a cute room on the downtown pedestrian mall. It was a convenient location for visiting Monticello and UVA. It was nice to stroll the mall and choose a restaurant for dinner. The mall did get a little noisy in the later evening.

Disappointed

Disappointed

The location of the building was fantastic, right on a pedestrian mall in Charlottesville, Va; did not know about the mall until we got there. The supplied map implied that we could drive by the hotel, park near by, and take out our luggage. But the street is for pedestrians only; it would have been nice if the map had made that clear. The A/C would not respond to the wall control. It did seem to cool the room eventuallly, but slower than we wanted. The wifi password was supposed to be in the room but we could not find it. There was a plastic holder where it might have been at some time. So no wifi; that was disappointing because our cell phones have a limited data plan and our tablets are wifi only. Also, the Roku box would not work; the tv just kept showing the bouncing ROKU letters from a ROKU startup, never ending. Also the back of the ROKU case kept falling off, needed scotch tape or something, but we ended up not using it anyway. The TV did have a few regular channels. Overall, it was as if no one really checks out the room after a guest leaves. There was a cork screw for wine, but we had to go to a bar to get some ice. Overall, disappointing room, great location!

I enjoyed the ease of using the property - the location was good and the use of key codes to get in and out was easy. I liked that the property, though called a hotel, felt more like a B&B given its small size. The ability to access the Common House was a major plus that I should've taken advantage of more, with a bonus that the staff there being super helpful. I received checkin emails and didn't have any face-to-face interactions.

I loved having a cute quiet room. Not having a check in desk almost made it feel like coming home instead of staying in a hotel. We really loved the property. I didn't speak with anyone directly but I loved it that way.

I loved how my room was decorated. I would stay here again for my next trip to Charlottesville. I loved that it was a 2 minute walk to the Jefferson Theater for a show I came to town to see. I do wish the restaurants had been open later during the week for after the show but otherwise it was really convenient! The staff at Stay Charlottesville were very accommodating and friendly. They allowed me to book a 1 night stay during the week so I could enjoy the Townsman. They made it very stress free for me.

I was in the Poe room. It faced the street and was a bit noisy. Telephone support was very good. I made just a one night reservation which was only possible to do on the phone. The person who assisted in making the reservation was very helpful.

I was surprised there was no full-length mirror or mirror outside the bathroom. As a 5'1" woman the mirror bathroom was mounted too high to see below my chin. I loved the Kuerig and fridge on the landing but was surprised there was no cream for the coffee. Otherwise the hotel is lovely and met our needs very well!
