This is an older hotel that's been updated nicely; however, the deceptive fees they place on their invoices that they do their best to not show you before you leave takes the inn down a few notches. I thought it was unusual that no invoice was left at my door or even handed to me when I checked out, so... More

I read reviews prior to my stay. However, we must not have been in the same hotel. If you need to stay at the University there are other Hotels very close by. The shower was a mystery in this "newly renovated" room. The hot water would turn to cold without warning and then to scalding. The bath and water closet... More

A newly remodeled hotel on the brink of the campus. Fridge and microwave in room with moderate continental breakfast. Location is within walking distance of the strip. Great for someone on a budget but wanting a classy place to stay.

No idea why people would complain about Cavalier Inn. It exceeded our expectations and we enjoyed our stay thoroughly. The building itself and hotel lobby was well furnished and inviting, and room was very clean and spacious for 4 of us. Complimentary breakfast was great with a large variety of pastries and boxed cereal, and there was also a waffle... More

I stayed here Thursday night just as a place to crash on my way to Richmond. The room was in terrible shape and the mattress was completely worn out. There were multiple fixtures barely attached to the walls, the towels were ratty and the furniture appeared worn out.

The location of the Cavalier Inn could not be matched if visiting the University of Virginia. It is literally adjacent to the campus. The rooms are pleasant and clean, and the desk personnel are professional and very friendly and very accommodating. The hotel rates are very moderate and that means that services and amenities are very limited. The complimentary breakfast... More

The hotel common areas incl breakfast area are fine. However once you get to your room not so great. Very thin and few towels, HVAC works very poorly ( all rooms are on same system, minimal room controls). Room at back very noisy as no soundproof glass as on front.
