With kiddo at UVA The Forum is perfect as far as location. Minutes from her dorm, shopping, grocery store and restaurant. The hotel is beautiful. Our bed was comfy and the room spacious enough. The window in our room was huge with a beautiful view. Best blackout curtain award goes to The Forum! The staff is friendly. We loved seeing dogs coming and going and in the social areas. VERY dog friendly. We will be back.
