About this property

Townsman Hotel: Faulkner | 0 Bed, 1 Bath

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

The Faulkner Room blends modern touches with the atmosphere of a more romantic era. Staying here is like settling into a private sitting room filled with literary ramblings and evening plans.

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

Amenities:A private balcony on the alley side overlooking Common House
King Bed
Twin Sleeper Sofa (let us know if you will use the sleeper sofa!)
Desk
Flat Screen TV with Apps/Local Channels
Hair Dryer
Iron & Board
Soap & Shampoo
Third Floor across from the Secretariat Room
Accessible by Stairs Only
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.
There's a private balcony or patio. Conveniences include complimentary bottled water and a sofa bed.
Take in the views from a rooftop terrace.
Take advantage of the hotel's room service.
Guests will find features like wireless internet access and onsite parking.
Room service is available.

Loved The simplicity of the room and decor the colors. The bathroom was wonderful and pretty bonus was being able to go to the common house, which is really really lovely and being so close to everything and going to the movie theater right across the street. It was very quaint very nice.

Great little "unhotel" right on The Mall!
We stayed in this "unhotel" for UVA graduation weekend. The room was perfect and we loved being right on The Mall. We grabbed breakfast at Mudhouse Coffee every morning and enjoyed the easy access to the places on The Mall. The parking spot is very convenient as well. The room was very nice and clean. We would definitely stay here again.

Excellent, conveniently located stay
This property is a gem! Very reasonably priced for an excellent location. The door to the hotel is right on the downtown mall, next to Mudhouse coffee. Parking is included which is also huge! You also get access to the Common House working/social club next door, which we took advantage of. Would absolutely stay again!

Overall the property was as described. However it was up two stories and others may not have been able to navigate the stairs. Also, there were sugar ants in the bathroom. The location was exactly where we wanted to be!

Nice Central Room, Bad Wifi
+ nice, very clean room + central, best possible location +: good communication, reached person on phone firectly when needed -: wifi is very slow, this really needs improvement -: the number code to open the room did not work, I received a working replacement code durectly, though, with a quick phone call - a water boiler would have been nice, just a coffee machine provided - another possible improvement: provide at least plastic cutlery and one-way plates and bowls in the shared area at the fridge

Convenient location and good value.
Nice rental in central location and good value when comparing like properties. Comfortable bed and nice linens. Love the bath products! We’ve stayed here before and plan to return. It can be noisy at night later in the week if you go to bed early. There is a live band at a neighboring property. Management does point that out.

Quick Weekend Away
My husband and I wanted to spend some time in Charlottesville, to visit a couple wineries ona. Quick Saturday and Sunday tip. We also knew we wanted to be downtown area to have a great Saturday night out, and not have to worry about Ubering back-and-forth to a hotel. I was also looking for affordability as many of the chain hotels were a bit pricey to stay close to downtown. The Townsman “un hotel” concept was perfect! We had a slight issue when we got there with our door code not working, it was 5 o’clock on Saturday and I got an immediate answer with quick action. Unfortunately, around 8 o’clock we had the issue with the back up code as well, and again we had Immediate response and a new code that worked perfectly rest of the time. The water in the little community fridge was always stocked and ready. The only thing I would say is keep your eyes peeled when you walk up, if you blink you’ll miss the entrance!

Nice Stay in a Nice Town
We very much enjoyed out stay at the Townsman Hotel in North Downtown. The parking was about a 2-block walk and slightly uphill, but not inconvenient. The unit was well-appointed and extremely quiet. The Faulkner unit is on the third floor, so it was a bit hard to bring my heavy suitcase up the three flights of stairs, but no big deal. I was initially concerned after reading some reviewers comments about the homeless population near that location. We did see a few, but they did not bother us, nor did we feel threatened in any way. I would stay here again.

This is a very nice small hotel on the Charlottesville pedestrian mall. It is very comfortable.
The hotel is very centrally located. The parking space is a short block away, and noise could be an issue at certain times, and is noted in their own write-up. There are quite a few steps which could be an issue for some people. It was a nice room, comfortable bed, and nice products in the bathroom! I’ll bring my own pillow next time.

Difficulty checking in
Overall, the room was very nice and was just as described and pictured. However, I arrived late at night and it was very unclear where I was supposed to park. It turned out that my designated parking space was in a poorly lit parking lot belonging to a community organization about a block and a half away. It was extremely difficult to locate my designated spot out of about 60 or 80 spots in the parking lot. It was only marked with a small, 8 by 11 inch sign. I had to walk all around the lot alone in the dark, shining the light from my cell phone, trying to find my spot (it turned out to be marked only by a small, 8 by 11 inch sign). Then, when I arrived at the building and went to enter my room, the door code I had been given (in lieu of a key) didn't work. I was very nervous. I called the phone number associated with this property. Luckily, I was able to reach someone, who gave me a "backup code." Fortunately, the "backup code" worked, although my own personalized code that I had been given never did work over the 16 or so hours I was there. This indicated to me that I wasn't using an individualized code, but instead one that might have been used by a number of people (the person I spoke with said that "this was a backup code she usually used"), so I didn't feel too secure. Also, the woman I reached on the phone said that I was "lucky" to have reached anyone at all by phone, because there was a different number I should have called. That didn't reassure me. This place prides itself on keeping prices low by offering few perks, but being able to check in with a secure, individualized door code is a very low bar, and they did not meet this bar.
