Another Downtown Hotel Will Be Nice
February 29th 2008 by Kelly in General, New Development
Construction on the new hotel has begun and it is right in the middle of the downtown mall! My sister got married a few years ago, 5 to be exact, and family came from all over. Most people were from Georgia, Indiana, and South Carolina, it was a lot of fun to see everyone. Finding all of the out of town guests a room where they would be comfortable and entertained was challenging. She felt like she needed to plan something for every minute her guests were in town. Now with all the fun activities at the downtown mall there is less pressure to feel like an event planner when friends come in town. Soon, there will even be a new place for them to stay for their overnight visit. Here are the hotels we picked:
Red Roof: Its’ location right next to the Mellow Mushroom and across the street from the UVA campus makes it a great place for guests to stay. They also offered a discount for wedding guests.
The Omni: A great location for guests that were not going to rent a car. You can walk to get coffee in the morning and spend an afternoon on the mall shopping or people watching. Go to a movie on the mall if the weather doesn’t agree with outdoor activities.
The Boars Head In: The perfect destination for guests that wanted more of a vacation than a wedding weekend. Definitely more expensive than the alternate choices, but if you need a vacation, the Boars Head would be a great place to relax. Guests can enjoy massages, 3 course dinners, and breakfast in bed.
