The building and room were very charming and beautifully decorated. We loved our room, but if you have mobility issues or problems with stairs, it might be difficult to navigate. The staff was very communicative and the checkin process was easy. The location was perfect and the UVA grounds were easily accessible. The breakfast was delicious, and I can see why Farm Bell is a popular restaurant. Would definitely stay here again!
