The property was old, had key entry. The room was clean. The bed was very comfortable. You could see light down the side of the door and underneath. Just needs updating on the doors and a mini fridge. My car was covered in tree sap and we only stayed one night. The employees were super nice and very helpful.

Great Property w/ Pool
We were looking for a one-night stay in Charlottesville. It was hot so we basically filtered the search by location/having a pool.
There was a nice looking bar and we had drinks by the pool.
It was a bit of a walk to our building and our room was down a flight of stairs. They did offer to help with our bags. The parking is mandatory valet. Our building was like an old home with solid wood doors and old hardware. I hadn't used a real metal key in a hotel in quite a while but it was fine. It was quiet and there was a nice cafe/restaurant on the property. We only had coffee drinks and food to go but it was nice.
The staff was very knowledable and friendly. I would recommend but be prepared that it's not your standard corporate chain, but that was nice for us.

We stayed overnight for a concert and were plenty happy with the Inn! The property and gardens surrounding the 3 buildings were beautifully curated and well maintained. Check-in, check-out and valet parking were easy and quick. All staff that we encountered were friendly and helpful. Our room was spacious, clean, and the blackout curtains were vital after a late night. I typically bring my own toiletries like shampoo/conditioner/body wash because not all hotels provide ones that are up to par, but I loved the ones provided at Oakhurst- everything smelled wonderful. We didn’t visit the cafe, but had local beers in the bar area before we ventured out for the concert at JPJ. With pre-event traffic, we decided to Uber to the arena (which was a short distance) but walked back to the Inn in an easy 20 minute walk. Would definitely recommend and would stay again!
