If you want an affordable, clean, and comfortable place to stay, then by all means try the Econo Lodge North in Charlottesville, VA. Address: 2014 Holiday Drive, Charlottesville, VA 22901. I mentioned the address again to make sure that you select this one as all Econo Lodges ARE NOT the same.
We stayed there for my Goddaughters graduation and it is very close (about 5 min.) to the University of Virginia (aka "UVA" or "The University"). The only drawback was that the rooms did not have an ironboard and iron, but if you can live w/o that then this would be the place to stay. Oh!, and no smell of smoke so I didn't have any respiratory issues.
The breakfast was very simple, bagels, cream cheese, small muffins, raisin bran cereal, orange juice and coffee. Sorry carnivores, LOL.
There are many choices of places to eat close by of which I recommend the Cook-Out (must drive there) and the Szechuan Chinese Restaurant which is next door to the lodge. Good food. « less

You will only get what you pay for here, so don't expect anything of quality here. Most, but not all staff were friendly and attentive. I had to ask for pillow cases 3 times, (there weren't any on the pillows when I arrived) and I ended up going with the office person to the linen storage area to get these. I ended up putting them on myself as it was obvious he wasn't about to do it. My room was very musty smelling. The window doesn't have a screen, so no fresh air comes in. The decor of the rooms is dated with 80's colors like dark green hotel carpet that has not aged gracefully. The furniture is old and banged up. The bathroom faucet was leaking and the sink lacked a stopper. The toilet would run occasionally. Wifi was unreliable and weak. A tv channel guide would've been a nice touch, but there wasn't one. I kept reminding myself how much I had paid for this room. If you prefer something a little less seedy, book a room at the Days Inn or Quality Inn that are just across the street, beyond the chain link fence. « less

Only upside of this place was it's close to the attractions. There were blood stains on one of the sheets, the shower didn't drain, mold was visible in the bathroom, and the wi-fi didn't work. The staff also left the curtains open after leaving the room, just in case anybody would like to see what was inside. I would say "cleaning staff" but I'm not sure what cleaning they do! Stay away unless you want the classic "dirty cheap motel" experience. « less

This was my first & last stay at the Econo Lodge brand. Being a loyal customer of all Choice Hotel brands, I was appalled when I walked into my room to find the floor hadn't been vacuumed, the beds were made, but dirty sheets were on the bed. I checked the room high and low before I would even bring my items in the room because I was afraid of bugs. The walls were paper thin, there were stains all over the floor & chairs of the room. I pulled the linens to find a spider in my sheets, hair all over my sheets & a stain on the pillow case. The staff was very unfriendly. The only positive thing about this motel was that the wi-fi worked correctly. I don't recommend this motel to anyone....not even my worst enemy « less
