A lovely place

The Doyle is lovely. The bed is great, the amenities and cleanliness great. I don't use a smartphone, I use a flip-phone and the check-in/check-out procedure demands a smartphone (or you have to find a human, which is occasionally hard). The posted checkout time is 12 (on the back of the door) but the actual checkout time is 11, which you only find out through the QR code. There are little glitchy things like that in what wants to be a seamless process that just isn't (and shouldn't be automated, in my view, should be human-driven). But that's my only thought about the Doyle, it's a lovely place.

Lovely look, needs a little more human service

This hotel is aesthetically pleasing - it's quite stylish. I get the concept that it offers a chic experience at a low cost because the guest does not have human interaction. So, that was nice. I probably won't stay again though. My in-room coffee maker only had de-caf (which I discovered at 5:30am when I wanted coffee) and there was no front desk to remedy that. I was unable to figure out the lockers even though I found the directions with the QR code. No one was there to help and when I did finally track an employee, she couldn't help nor find someone else. The only parking is valet (which is weird because everything else is self service) and it was expensive. The room felt clean, but there were traces of mold in the shower and the paint needs a re-touch in the room and hall. It was a lovely room, But I am not coming to hang in my lovely hotel room. More service and attention to detail would be worth a small uptick in price (Gosh, I would have paid $20 for a non-decaf coffee!-

Our room we booked and paid extra for with a very nice outdoor space balcony got downgraded. Instead of upgrading us they downgraded us. We waited two hours for them to move us to a different room and it was the exact same room they had put us in when we got there. So the virtual team really let us down.

My recent stay at The Doyle Hotel was nothing short of amazing! The property is stunning, from the beautifully designed interiors to the charming bookstore and the rooftop with incredible views. John Michael was exceptional in guest services—his engaging personality and thoughtful recommendations made the experience even more memorable. Raceme was also wonderful with valet services, ensuring everything went smoothly. Both staff members were kind, professional, and extremely helpful. The only minor challenge was the limited parking in the area, but thanks to Raceme and John Michael, the valet process was as seamless as possible. Overall, an outstanding stay—I look forward to returning!

Only option to check in was online only, had issues with website and no one there to help, very frustrating. No staff to help with issues, had to call a number. The surrounding areas of the hotel is a little run down, hotel was ok. Rooms and common areas are nice, hallways were dingy.

Hi! Decided to head to Charlottesville for a long weekend with my girlfriend and chose to stay at The Doyle. We had a great time exploring the city and enjoying the property, but we did run into a hiccup when the AC in our room completely went out. We had to switch to another room, which wasn’t ideal since the original room was much larger (though admittedly much hotter). Overall, we enjoyed the stay, but losing AC in the middle of summer definitely put a damper on things.

Interesting stay

Interesting stay. The check in process was quite strange. No front desk and a young man sitting on the sofa when I arrived with a laptop to check me in. He handed me a piece of paper with a code for my room. Never asked for my ID. He did walk me to my room, which was nice. The room was very simple, which is fine. But the shower had hair on the walls from the previous guest. The cafe in the morning was very nice and polite. I know this hotel just changed ownership, but small details will make or break a stay
