Breakfast was good, no juice offered, however. We're likely not to return because in conversation with one of the hosts \"liberals\" were mentioned, not in a favorable way. A footbridge in the Charlottesville area was complained about and that it's only use seemed to be for protests. In this volatile and fragile political climate, we felt uncomfortable hearing these remarks. Won't recommend or return.

The hotel was closed upon arrival and no one ever arrived. The windows were broken and there was an odor of cat urine and a dozen feral cats.

We left since the hotel was closed and sought other accommodations.

I will demand a full refund from Expedia and my credit card company.

This is a historic property and was very unique old Inn. The room was clean and the owner's were very friendly especially at check-in. (Note: they do not stay on the property overnight so make sure you have what you need before they leave). The breakfast is included unfortunately I had to leave before they served at 9 so the owner made up a to-go bag for me the night before. There is also a coffee shop nearby in case you can't make the breakfast. The restaurant was excellent. The wine, meal, and dessert were 10/10.
I enjoyed my stay and would stay here again.

Bfast was incredible each morning and comes with the room. No lunch. Dinner is by reservation only. If the chef is away, no dinner. Our complaint is with how dirty the house is inside. Our room was decorated nicely but hasn't been dusted. The plastic shower curtain was moldy. Around the top of the tub where it meets the wall was thick with dust. Lots of cracked paint. Windows had plexiglass panels screwed into the wall outside. The curtains were covered in dust. The tv is not a smart tv. Therefore, you're may be getting what's coming through the air locally, and good luck seeing anything through the pixels scrambling all over the screen. The in room coffee maker was not clean. Another couple at bfast complained that theirs didn't work. The door doesnt close correctly so you can see daylight through the crack. The dining room needs cleaned and repainted. I put my purse on the floor leaned up against the wall and noticed there was thick dirt and cobwebs all down the wall. The window shutters were also thick with dirt cobwebs. I feel like the inn is too big of a task for just the two elderly owners. If the bedrooms and dining room are this dirty for the public to see, what does the kitchen look like? Either get more help or sell to someone who can truly take care of this historic piece of old Virginia. Dust, dirt, cobwebs, and mold do not equal historic its just not being taken care of properly. Also the owner told us she has 14 cats in her home. Lots of cats outside the inn

Lovely find in wine country.

What a fun little find! Lovely spacious inn deep in the heart of Charlottesville wine country. Close to a number of wineries and to Charlottesville. The suite had a comfortable sitting room and a spacious bedroom. Don't miss dinner at the inn as it's amazing. Breakfast the next morning was better than any hotel breakfast I've had in years--the French toast will haunt my dreams. Definitely will be back.

Perfect for a Weekend Getaway

The Lafayette is both a well-preserved and maintained historical property and high-quality restaurant. Having both of these things in one place is fantastic. My husband and I stayed overnight (celebrating our anniversary), ate dinner at the restaurant and then had breakfast there too (included in the cost of our room). It was so convenient to eat at the best restaurant in town and then head to our room…in the same building. I don’t believe I’ve ever stayed anywhere before where a high-quality, cooked-to-order sit-down restaurant breakfast was included complimentarily with the (very reasonable) cost of the room, but that was the case here. In addition to the accommodations and food being excellent, so was the service—everyone we met was so pleasant. Our server at the restaurant during dinner was particularly friendly (and very attentive).

On top of it all, the inn is conventionally located close to the Shenandoah National Forest and a huge number of wineries. It’s a perfect weekend getaway and the surrounding countryside is gorgeous. Our room was very clean, and the bed was comfortable. Would recommend for sure.

We had car troubles and we’re not able to make our reservation. I called and explained our situation, and said I know that we were past the refund date, but if there was anything they could do, that would be great. I also asked if I could get a call back to let me know what their decision was ( I did speak with a person when I called, I didn’t just leave a message) I never received a call back. That is why a terrible review. I would not have left a bad review had they called back and told me there was nothing they could do. But not returning a call when specifically asked for a call back is very poor customer service. I’m sure that lack of service from upper management flows to all service below them.

We had a nice suite with a comfortable sitting room in addition to the bedroom. Bath was updated. Breakfast comes with the room. We had over easy eggs one morning and omelets the next. Eggs were high quality. Meals were delicious and pleasantly presented. Table clothes, flowers on the tables. Period china. all very elegant. Owners are charming.

Dirty slept in room upon arrival

Arrived at the hotel late, but my key to my room was not put out as they said they would. There was one key under another family name. Guessing they may have mixed up my name; we went into the room to see that it was previously slept in and no one cleaned it. There was no one answering the phone so I had to book another hotel in Charlottesville. The Lafayette Inn would not refund even though there was no room or clean room to stay in.

The room was so filthy that we ended up leaving: cobwebs around the bed and around the baseboards and heater, dusty floors, dirty carpet that haven’t been vacuumed in a while, mold in the shower and big brownish stain on the ceiling above the bed.

We stayed in the Washington Suite which not only dirty and clearly unsanitary but also very poorly insulated and noisy as we could hear cars driving by as though the windows were open.

Terrible experience!

Anniversary trip

The staff was courteous and helpful. They are, admittedly, understaffed but are taking care of their clientele. The room was excellent, the food also. God willing, we shall return.

Beautiful historic property. We stayed in Dicey's Cottage, a separate building with two floors and a nice kitchen. The host gave us a friendly welcome, and our breakfast at the Inn was excellent.

Relaxing and comfortable

Quaint old hotel and restaurant. So much history here! We stayed in the separate cottage. Loved the gas fireplace in the bedroom! Very comfortable bed. Only downside is spotty internet and poor TV reception but we didn’t care. Traffic noise is high but otherwise a very nice place. Owners were awesome to work with. The awarding winning restaurant alone is worth a stop!

Really nice historic inn with a very good restaurant. We stayed in the Washington suite which is reasonably priced and very comfortable. The owners do all the cooking in the restaurant and both dinner and breakfast were exceptional. It is rumored that the ghost of a Confederate soldier wanders the building, but we didn't run into him. We most highly recommend the Lafayette Inn for your stay in Virginia near if near Skyline drive.

this is a restored historic property with its own restaurant. A home-cooked breakfast is included in the price. Good food at a good price, clean quiet rooms. Lots of stairs.

It was, clearly, an old building that had been skillfully and respectfully updated to accommodate modern traveler's needs.
The Tyler suite was large, comfortable, and delightful.
This spot is not to be missed if you want a quiet, leisurely trip. Also only about 12 miles from the Shanandoah National Park which is a wonderful place to visit.

Loved it

What a grand old hotel. We were in the Washington suite and were greeted with champagne and chocolate chip cookies. Our short stay was topped off with a choice of full breakfast and great conversation with the owner. What a great find!

Lovely historic inn with B&B service (8/10)

I really enjoyed my two-night stay at the Lafayette in. It was quaint and mostly comfortable. The restaurant was quite tasty, the hospitality was much appreciated. My room was fancy yet great for lounging. I loved the hotel cats! The only things I did not love were 1) the pillows were hard and uncomfortable and 2) there is central AC but air circulation within the room was not great.

This was one of the COOLEST & CUTEST places I’ve ever stayed!! I was a bit nervous booking because of how old the building was but it is worth every penny! They really put a lot of time and effort into the room designs and cleanliness, plus free keurig with pods in your room, and a free MINI CHAMPAGNE and cookies chilled and ready for you when you arrive!! I had to leave too early to enjoy breakfast and got in too late to grab dinner, but I plan on going back ASAP and cannot recommend this place enough. Also quiet, private, and very organized! Ten stars!

Lovely place!!

We loved our visit to the Lafayette Inn and Restaurant! Very quaint lodging with all the amenities of home, away from home! The food was impeccable! Cat smell was strong but understandable with so many felines on the property. Would definitely stay again!
