This is a beautiful boutique hotel. As you walk in the staff greets you with a warm smile and there is complimentary tea and coffee. The rooms were beautiful and it was in walking distance to some great restaurants. This is my new hotel of choice when I am in downtown Richmond!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
As we told the staff when we left, there were a number of issues with our room. 1- the door to the room was left propped open when we arrived. This seemed like a security issue, though the room was safe when we came in 2- the room was very cold, 68 ° by the thermostat. I turned up the heat, but the room never heated up 3- in the middle of the night my wife got cold and looked for a spare blanket. There was none. We could have called down, but we were dead tired and it was after midnight 3- my wife emerged from the shower and only then noticed we only had hand towels! Again, could have called down, but she was already soaking wet. 4- the Keurig coffee maker did not work. 5- the tv remote had no volume control. We couldn’t hear the sound. A shame.

Fine old historic hotel with comfy beds but lots of inconveniences. Heating in our room didn’t work and stayed at 62 despite 2 fix-it calls - no extra blankets. Small bathroom with toilet up against the wall, no grab bars, trickling shower. Tried to get a drink in bar before going out to dinner, cancelled the order after waiting a half hour. Parking is a couple blocks away and expensive. Not returning to the Berkeley.

We travel to Richmond every year on this weekend and this is our second time in this hotel. We love how convenient it is and on top of that it is a nice venue, people is nice and attentive, the property has a classic style but the rooms are being updated. We love that our room had vinyl floors instead of carpet. Restaurant in now open for business.

Consistently Good

Always friendly staff and convenient location. Now the restaurant serves food all day. Check out is 12pm which is to me is more than generous. Many had to wait for their rooms at check in including us. Perhaps an hour earlier checkout might help this wait to be less.

This is an old hotel

The hotel itself is kind of old and i understand some people might like the old aesthetic. When we got to the hotel we asked for a microwave and the website says you can ask on request but the front desk lady immediately says “No you may not ask for a microwave” not just only that, there isn’t any refrigerator, the bathroom was old and there was a fly/bug in the room. This is my first time I have ever have to put a review for a hotel and it was this bad.
