The lack of front desk / staff is a bit eerie. The lobby, bar & restaurant were completely empty even at the dinner hour, which made me decide to dine elsewhere rather than on the property. Despite the lack of hosting staff, inquiries sent to the hotel phone number were answered promptly via text. The hot water in both sink & shower was barely lukewarm, which was a huge minus for my experience.

We got our room at a significant discount, so for the price, this was a great option in downtown Charlottesville. The rooms and lobby were nice, but basic necessities were lacking. In most circumstances, the virtual front desk probably works fine (check in and check out were easy), but we requested a few extra blankets our first night and were told that wouldn't be a problem. An hour later, I checked the status and was told that everyone had gone home and we could get the blankets the next day. Additionally, upon inquiring about where we could get bottled water, I was pointed to nearby convenience stores. If you think about this spot as an apartment or condo rental, you'll be fine! And bring water and blankets!

Check-in was a joke. Three times the check-in didn’t work, and the operator at the phone line they offer wanted us to repeat the same procedure? Then the room code didn’t work, and again the operator gave us two more useless codes and then wanted us to wait in the hall for 10 minutes while they called for help. The one staff member went home early because he was tired. No one manned the lobby bar, the restaurant was terribly understaffed and the libby rest rooms were filthy with not toilet paper or hand towels. No one ever addressed our issues, knowing full well what was happening. WORST HOTEL EVER!

The staff was great but the check in process was a nightmare. They sent me to a room they wasn’t cleaned and it took 45 min to get it sorted. Luckily the staff was great but whatever manager or ownership group decided to force this new check-in process should be fired

The Doyle hotel’s downstairs is very beautiful and modern. Our room was very spacious although if we wanted our room cleaned, we had to pay for it!! also many parts of the day there was downstairs at all to help us. No one working to be found. There was one guy and he would just walk out the front door and be gone and then reappear hours later. No wonder they are selling the hotel again. Our bathroom floor was not clean and the wall behind the toilet had to be cleaned. It was dirty.

The push to make things more digital has really not gone well here. I have stayed at this hotel multiple times and used to love the experience. This time was totally different, lacked personal touch and sadly will likely be the last time staying here.

The Doyle appears to be an example of what happens when tech bros decide they want to disrupt the hospitality industry. Here’s what I mean: There’s no front desk. No one is there to greet you or give you your keys. Check-in is via text message. Room keys are 4-digit door codes, also sent via text. The hotel sent me the wrong key code for my room, which, after a long drive through dense nighttime fog, was frustrating because my call for assistance wasn’t to the front desk but a call center somewhere off property, probably overseas. The correct key code was finally sent and we gained entry. Nothing sounded better than a hot shower, but the water was cold and there was no soap or conditioner. Normally, a call to the front desk or housekeeping would address these concerns, but as there’s no staff on property, we had to wait until the next day for refills. There’s also no daily housekeeping unless you want to pay extra. I didn’t think to check for that when booking. There’s no on property parking, but there is valet. Sometimes. We left our car with valet, and to retrieve it required doing so via text, which we did, but that night, the valet stand packed up and gone. Luckily, when we did find someone who worked at the hotel, he found our keys and told us where to find our car. This person was never seen again. Imagine we needed our car and he wasn’t there? He suggested we write a review sharing our experience. Hospitality via text doesn’t work. You still need the human touch.

This was the first time staying at a hotel without a front desk, and not gonna lie I was a little nervous, however they texted the link to my phone to check in and out and the code for our room when it was ready. It was very confident and easy and I very much like the keyless entry! We had a few small issues with WiFi and hot water and they were quick to respond. The only reason they didn’t get 5 stars is because of the location and parking; the hotel is hard to spot because the building is thin and doesn't have a sign. There is also no parking. No street parking, no parking lot which would not be a problem if they had complimentary valet, but they don't. Valet was $25 a day which was an unexpected expense and honeslty very inconvenient as my handicap mother and infant daughter (3 months old) were traveling with me.
