The hotel did not honor a reservation that was already paid for and booked the day before. They called me at 830 pm and did not even apologize. Hard to believe.

The staff was generally quite good, but special thanks to Cynthia for getting us checked-in efficiently and pleasantly, and the housekeeping and maintenance staff for taking care of an issue that arose in the room. The hotel is clean, quiet and convenient to UVA campus, medical facilities and some nice coffee shops and restaurants.

This is my second time at the Draftsman. It is a really nice hotel that is clean and nicely appointed. The staff is very friendly, but not in your face and seems genuine. I would definitely stay here again.

Lovely hotel! We had a less than stellar dinner at the Ridley—the food was fine but the service was slow and wildly uneven, with appetizers and dinner arriving at the same time and a loooong wait for the dessert. I would stay at the Draftsman again but I would not return to the restaurant.

Valet staff friendly and attentive, very nice accommodations, close to different places to grab a bite to eat or get coffee

The only hiccup is the wait for valet... but that's not really controllable as it is a tight corner on the street.
Very professional and pleasant staff, well appointed rooms. Clean, comfortable, fresh and updated. I've already booked for my next visit in town

On multiple occasions the front desk staff was rude to me. They need to train staff in hospitality. I will not be coming back.

Trendy hotel with a nice bar/restaurant ambience. Fun place to stay.

Total let down. Upon arrival late in the evening, we were told there were no rooms for us due to issue with HVAC. Hotel had made no attempt to contact us in advance, so there was no way to make other arrangements. Sent us to a 2-star hotel where we found our room had already been slept in. Draftsman should have made arrangements for comparably rated accommodation. Needless to say, it was a very disappointing experience, especially from a hotel so highly rated.
