Little Mod Hotel at the University

Fun, kitschy vibe

It’s a motel labeled as a hotel. Exterior doors, few facilities. Noisy train tracks are right up against the property. We did not see good value for what we paid.

Very cute motel with a fun concept. Great location a couple of blocks off campus and basically right at “The Corner.” Plenty of places to walk and explore. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Our key cards stopped working twice. Not a big deal, but it was inconvenient and took a little to get replacements both times as the system wasn’t cooperating. I had also discounted the reviews talking about the train, but it was for real. The train went through a few times each night, and a couple of the times it shook the room and we didn’t think there was an end. They do offer masks and earplugs, which is nice. Again, not that big of a deal.

There was a bed

I was stolent twice the night charge by the property

The Little Mod Hotel is in a great location, although when UVA is in full swing, it could be noisy-- potentially. We were there right after Thanksgiving just for a night. Many restaurants and stores were not open, but the campus is very near, and we had a lovely walk through it. The Rotunda was open to visitors and we also looked carefully at the enslaved worker memorial.

The hotel which has great 1960s and 1970s decor has a nice vibe and friendly staff but again, due to our timing, almost no one was there. The food truck that sits in the small hotel parking lot only opened for breakfast due to the holiday and it was too late for us.

I loved everything

Location close of UVA

Visitors should take into account that this is more of a motel. The rooms have doors that opens to an exterior corridor. When I arrived in the night in November, the room was freezing and the room heated only after a couple of hours. The reception is not occupied full time.

Was a lovely motel to stay in for my birthday. Loved the setup of the room, the shower tile and the comfy beds of course. Listened to the records and had a wonderful night. Perfect for a night downtown in Cville.

Wish it wasn't so close to the train tracks. If you're a light sleeper this isn't the place to stay. Also wish the chairs we a bit sturdier and a bit bigger but it was fine.
