The rooms were pretty basic but nice. We spent little time in the room due being in Richmond for our daughter’s graduation from VCU. It is a great location for VCU, downtown Richmond and easy access to highways.

Had to park in nearby parking garage. Loved location and ability to walk around and see the Capitol and Governor’s Mansion. Many nearby great restaurants. We hit a few around happy hour! Hotel beds and staff were great.

The building itself was unique. Loved the antique looking furniture. quick buy breakfasts were a bit pricy. no in-hotel dinner or breakfast available. plenty walking distance restaurants-both dinner and breakfast. Would be nice to have agreement with local jurisdiction to have overnight or short term parking at reduced rate.

The hotel is very pretty. Did not get to enjoy its normal amenities due to the pandemic. I would stay there again and do recommend it. On the downside, the walls are quite thin so you hear what is going on in other rooms.

Property was very nice. An older hotel but very well appointed and very clean. It was mostly a pleasant experience. My one issue was that when I called beforehand to let them know it was my wife's and my sixth anniversary and to see if there was anything special that they could do, the person on the other end basically said due to Covid they couldn't do anything and then hung up on me without saying a goodbye or a "we'll see you Saturday." While a little put out, I wasn't terribly upset. Then I got a message from the GM to reach out if there was anything they could do to make our stay special. Mixed messages, for sure. So I called and spoke to Kevin who explained to me why they couldn't do some things due to Covid, which I understand. I asked if they could leave a note or have someone tell us Happy Anniversary and he said he would make a note of it and make sure he did something. Showed up on Saturday and nothing. The room was nice and Star seemed nice enough, but nothing for our Anniversary. In the grand scheme of things not a big deal and we had a great time anyway, but it would have been nice if they had followed through.
