The hotel is new and modern. Staff are friendly, if perhaps overtaxed. The bed is fine. But there are a couple of design features that make me wonder. You have two choices of lights in the bathroom, either very bright or very bright. There is no way to have a gentle light on for occasional nighttime excursions when you don't want to be blasted as if standing in a full sun. There is no credenza or other desktop storage area of meaningful size. Just lots of little tables, etc. It is hard to find places to put things. There is no coffee machine in the room, evidently by design. You have to ask for one to be delivered. I'm told the hotel management thinks having coffee in your room in the morning is antisocial. Room service is quirky. Even if you order a ”fancy” meal from the main restaurant, it arrives in thin cardboard boxes. The food is just dumped into the box. No plate is provided, so you have to eat right out of the box. Hardly how a prestige place would run things. There is a microphone attached to a cable in the room. I suspect it is some form of Alexa. Sorry, I don't want one of the tech giants (or hotel staff) listening to everything that happens in the room. Fortunately, you can unplug it. There is a bright red light on the phone. I've stayed at this hotel perhaps ten times and I STILL cannot figure out how to turn it off. It disturbs sleep at night. The light fixtures do not have obvious on/off switches. You have to spend a lot of time figuring out how to turn things on. Overall, you can survive the experience but (1) don't ever order room service and (2) be prepared to adapt your lifestyle to the one hotel management thinks you should have.

Every time I go to Xia Cun, I live in this hotel. It is very convenient. The only problem is that the smoke is not good. I want to make some alarms.

Tasteful, charming, and a nice break from the soulless corporate chain hotels. Beautiful old windows and cozy nooks. My room was huge and featured a working gas fireplace. Plus amenities like a 24-hour pool and free valet parking. For me, this place is the perfect cross between a B&B and a large hotel.

The hotel is great, the service is good, very warm. The room facilities are good, the surroundings are lively, but the room is very quiet. At The corner, it’s a lively place for college weekend gatherings. It should be the nearest hotel to the University of Virginia. Walk to the train station for about 10 minutes. Recommended

Breakfast is medium to normal, just average. There are very few, coffee buffets can take a big cup and go well. The fireplace area on the first floor looked very warm. There is a Chinese supermarket across the road from the hotel, where you can buy fruit and instant noodles. Hotel parking is free. Just on the main road, the traffic is convenient.

My husband was sent to the UVA Medical Center for cancer treatment. I stayed here for the week and it was extremely clean, quiet and had the most kind, helpful employees. The bed was very comfortable. It is out of the way enough to be quiet but is convenient to shopping and food. Everyone who worked there was polite. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay here again!

Good breakfast, about 10 minutes drive from the University of Virginia, next to a large electronics mall, on the south side of the hotel, 10 minutes walk, there is a daily necessities store, and a Chinese restaurant, very convenient
