“For families visiting the University of Virginia, this Holiday Inn has an appealing kids-eat-free program, and its heated indoor pool operates year-round. I noticed some past-their-prime aspects to the rooms, though the updated bathrooms and Dove toiletries are a welcome touch. I think the location, close to both the university and local wineries, is the real draw here.”
