About this property

Boutique Hotel Room above The Jefferson Theater on the Downtown Mall

The Jeff is a boutique hotel and private oasis located on Charlottesville's historic Downtown Mall. Nestled above the world famous Jefferson Theater, you'll find sleek spaces, soaring archways, and subtle luxury with a rock and roll edge. Once you're inside these soundproof walls the world recedes like a dream – until you're ready to emerge, refreshed, with the heart if the city on your doorstep.

The Jeff offers:
"Suites" with king beds w/additional living area
"Studios" standard king bedroom

Jeff Suite 202: Each room is individually furnished with a distinct personality. Think effortless cool, creamy suede, and desert colors with pops of quirky humor. To ensure privacy and true getaway vibes, The Jeff was designed to be entirely self-service (no front desk or need for check-in). Upon booking, you will receive a unique code that gives you access to your room.

The Jeff Hotel Suites feature a luxurious, custom-made king bed - perfect to settle down in after a hard day's rockin', two flat screen TVs, and a seating area with an additional sofa bed (Suite 202 has a double sized-pullout) and large windows overlooking the Downtown Mall. A Marshall amp speaker is provided to kick back and enjoy your favorite tunes. Each room is equipped with a wet bar, mini-fridge, Nespresso. Our spacious en-suite bathrooms boast high ceilings, skylights, and walk-in showers.

Being on a pedestrian mall the hotel has no on-site parking, but we think that having Cville's most popular bars, restaurants and music venues mere steps away is a great trade-off!

Other amenities:
•High speed internet
•Clothes steamer
•Hair dryer
•2 heating and cooling zones
•24-hour guest support

*Note – The Jeff Hotel is located in a historic building above the nationally renowned Jefferson Theater and has no elevator. Each room is only accessible via stairs, in some cases multiple flights.
Due to the active nature of the theater below, there will be times where there may be crowds outside of the main entrance waiting for an event or during an event.

The parking was horrible you have to park at a parking garage and if you have a bunch of luggage that’s very inconvenient. It’s like two blocks away. The floors were sticky dirty and it smelled like grease trap in the hallways also no elevator so her logging a big luggage like we had was horrible . The couch inside our room was so gross and it had some kind of fur thing on top of it that looked like a dead animal the pillows were stained. When you came out of your room in the morning, it was full of homeless. Not a pleasant thing to see when you wanna go for a morning coffee walk I would not stay here again.

The room was described as a king and a queen, and the queen was simply a single. Otherwise, we had an enjoyable time and thought the accommodations were very nice.

A pleasant stay

The Jeff is a very quaint space in a very central location . It’s in a great general proximity to local restaurants and unique shopping stores. The check in process was easy especially with the emails previously sent. I didn’t know how to access the keypad on the front door, but a quick call to their after hours support and the issue was resolved. The bed was comfortable and the shower was the highlight. Other than being waken up by some loud banging and hammering next door, this was a great stay.

Beautifully decorated, modern suite in the heart of the downtown mall. We loved everything about the property with the one exception of parking. If you need to take a car in and out over your stay, you will likely need to pay for parking in a nearby lot. Not a big hassle, but one slight downside in an otherwise great experience. Fantastic bakeries and restaurants close by!

Great for a couple

I would have rated this a 5 if it were just the two of us but our college aged son slept on the pull out couch and the mattress was truly terrible (felt every spring.) BTW, it is a single bed, not a double as described. Also to note, the sliding barn door to the bathroom leaves significant gaps through which you can see into the bathroom from certain angles (like when he was laying on the couch bed he could see right into the shower.) Definitely not recommending this room if sharing space. Otherwise it was exactly as pictured and extremely clean. Bathroom was large and nice. The king bed was very comfortable. Fun staying right on the pedestrian mall.

Perfect for a Conference

My coworker and I stayed at The Jeff for a two day conference. I sent a message prior to booking to double check the number of beds and the set up of the room. We knew our employer would not reimburse us for two rooms and the setup at the Jeff was actually more private than a traditional hotel room would have been. We loved it! It is such a great location and a very comfortable room. Each morning we walked to the conference location and avoided the parking nightmare that many attendees experienced. There was a show in the theater below The Jeff the night we checked in and we never heard a thing. The steps up to the room are a bit narrow and steep so take that into consideration if you have any physical difficulties. This is a great place to stay if you are in Charlottesville for work or a weekend away.
