Excellent visit overall. The hotel was full and only had 2 elevators working, so it was always a wait for the elevator. Bed and shower were awesome! Walkable to Altria Theatre and downtown restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

The water was out my entire stay, inconvenient but not the hotels fault as a main water line busted. Otherwise the hotel was nice, carpets had some stains and elevators only one would work the area not much around and valet is 37 dollars a night that isn’t really in any of the details before staying

Wonderful hotel convenient to everything. Nice staff and good restaurant/bar. Only issue was the non working elevator which led to very long waits for the one working elevator.

I visited this property because I came to Richmond, Virginia for my homecoming. The staff was very nice, very approachable and not to mention very helpful! I had the best experience with Mr. Jones, he made it fun to stay there. I will definitely come back for another stay!

I wanted to love this hotel but it badly needs a refresh. There were so many large stains on the carpet in my room that I felt really icky walking around with my shoes off. The bathroom did not feel clean- the caulking around the tub and toilet was peeling off and what was there looked like it had been applied by someone who has never done it before. The staff was friendly and helpful for the most part but the valet just watched my friends and I struggle to load our bags in the car, even after we left him a nice tip. Not super hospitable.

Arrived to a room that had not been cleaned; got charged for day parking AND overnight parking for my car being parked for a few hours the day before; then there was a random $50 incidental charge that I never remember being told about that I was told “can sometimes take 2-4 days because of the weekend to come back.” Not worth the expense and would not stay again.
