This was our family's second stay here, both times a one-night stop-over.
Chain hotels on the road (Marriott, Hilton, etc.) in the DC and Charlottesville areas are almost always grubby, even if they're remodeled their lobbies, and even their rooms. It's as if they don't have enough cleaning staff, or don't care, or both.
The English Inn not only looks but smells absolutely fresh and clean everywhere, the lobby, the hallways, the breakfast room.
The front desk staff is alert, gracious, efficient, polite, at ease with themselves.
We've not seen a single spot, stain or crumb on the floor or on any surface in the two rooms we've occupied.
The hotel is off a main business road, and next to a highway, but is set back and sequestered so as to feel protected, peaceful, and restful.
The included full breakfast buffet has variety and should satisfy almost anyone.
Whoever owns this place seems to have principles, and pride of ownership. We'll be back, and will stay here again for sure.
