Description
Designed for those who love classic comforts, the Secretariat room features antique woods, leather accents, houndstooth patterns and gold finishes that create a warm, Virginian retreat.
The Townsman is the newest concept in hotel accommodations. Instead of charging you for things you’ll never use, we’ve pared ourselves down to the essentials. Incredible locations. Beautiful rooms. Great prices. Once you book with us, we’ll give you a code that grants you access to the hotel and your room. After that, all you have to do is show up. No check-in. No hassles. Just a boutique hotel, steps from the places you most want to be.
Where are you located exactly?
We’re at 211 West Main Street, right on Charlottesville’s historic Downtown Mall. The location can't be beat in the middle of the downtown action! We like to note to future guests that this is a popular area (especially on the weekends) and the noise level on the Downtown Mall may be higher particularly on Friday and Saturday evenings.
Where do Townsman guests park?
Parking: Parking for guests is located at 300 Preston Ave. in Charlottesville. There is one spot for each room located directly to the left of the main sign for the parking lot. Each Spot has signage that has "The Townsman" and the corresponding name of the room on them. Please only park in the spot designated for your room.
How does the code work?
Our front door and the door to your room will feature a keypad into which you’ll enter your personal code. The code we give you when you book is given to no one else and only works for the duration of your stay.
What services do you offer?
What we offer is a room you’ll love in a downtown location that can’t be beat. To keep our prices where you want them, we don’t have an onsite staff, front desk, room service or amenities you may not need; but we do have Charlottesville’s downtown walking mall, restaurants, coffee shops, a movie theater, and local boutique shopping just steps away.
Do you have Internet access?
Yes! The Wi-Fi code will be in your room.
Will there be a phone in my room?
We do not have phone service but the building does have good cell service, so bring your phone and stay connected.
On the first-floor landing you’ll find:
A refrigerator available to all guests
Complimentary bottles of water & coffee
Advance one night reservations are available Sunday - Thursday only.
Friday or Saturday nights may be booked for one night as soon as the Wednesday before a weekend. Note the rate for Fridays/Saturdays.
All guests of Stay Charlottesville receive exclusive access to Common House during your stay. Common House is a local membership based social club that offers a unique space to work, dine, and engage. There is a co-work space available during weekdays, a full service restaurant offering breakfast, lunch, and dinner as well as a roof-top terrace with sweeping views of Charlottesville.

Great location. The building was easy to access. Room was very clean, well appointed. Felt like I was at home in my own bedroom, but nicer. Wouldnt change a thing.

Quick and kind response from Leah when I had not gotten the details for checkin process in my email, as the waiver link didnt populate in the email correctly.
Thanks for a great experience.

I had no idea what to expect but was pleasantly surprised with my stay in the Secretariat room. The location on the downtown mall is excellent and easily walkable to many areas of interest in the city of Cville. Loved the unique equine themed decor. I found the bed comfortable with nice linens and pillows. The glass enclosed shower is a definite upgrade from a standard hotel and very welcomed for any weary traveler. Happy to find a Keurig with coffee available in the lobby and a fridge with bottled water too. I am a Cville local and will 100% recommend this to family and friends.

Walkability was the most important thing for us! We parked our car at the start of our stay and didn't get in the car again until we left!

The Townsman is located in the most perfect spot in the heart of Charlottesville -- everything was walkable and we loved our stay. We were in the Secretariat and having a balcony was AMAZING -- something you so rarely get at a regular hotel. Would definitely stay there again.

I loved having a cute quiet room. Not having a check in desk almost made it feel like coming home instead of staying in a hotel. We really loved the property.
