What a delightful boutique hotel! It was charming and elegant, but had a nice "home-like" feel as well. The Capital Square grounds were a great morning walk spot, and we loved the Urban Market for morning coffee. Great service and staff. For us the only downside was that there wasn't a good non-valet option for parking. Otherwise, it was perfect. A great spacious suite and everything was comfy.

Thank you, Genie, for taking the time to rate and review The Commonwealth. We appreciate all of your kind words and positive feedback. We agree that parking can be challenging - it typically always is in a downtown setting. We hope you will choose to stay with us again when your travels bring you back to downtown RVA - our staff will look forward to it. Thank you for being our guest.

Pros: good location; excellent staff who were very friendly and accommodating; updated furnishings. Cons: Old hotel with poor heating and ventilation. Rooms dark and dingy. Elevator and hallways very tiny and narrow. Restaurant was out of everything. Not sure why this hotel comes up as a top Richmond hotel other than for great staff.
