The staff was great. Very helpful. The room was very clean. Our window looked out on a wall but that couldn’t be helped I suppose. No drink machine options, just a cooler in the lobby with a few choices.

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.
