The room was really nice. I was not impressed with the staff at the hotel. I attempted to check in at 5 o’clock for my room and I was told that my room would not be ready until much later. Check-in is after 3:30 so I’m unsure as to why the room was not ready. The only thing they could offer me to take off of my bill was breakfast and I was there for a tournament so there was no way I could actually eat the breakfast. The manager was really nice, but I just didn’t feel like there was any reason why our room shouldn’t be ready that late in the day.

The room was clean and nice. The hotel staff was great. However, I would not recommend you use valet parking. I had an issue when it came to retrieve my car. They had a hard time starting it, because the wheel was locked. Instead of turning it off completely to let me know, they left the car in accessory mode basically causing my battery to drain. I just went and started it myself after a few tries and it struggled because the battery was draining. The valet staff need better training and learn better car care.

The water in the shower and lavatory was only warm. Several lightbulbs in the bedroom and bathroom were burned out. The toilet runs until the top of the tank is removed and the mechanism jiggled. I told the person at the front desk, but they were not fixed. Overall, I enjoyed the hotel and would stay again, but these issues were annoying -- especially lack of a hot shower.

Unique property in the heart of Richmond. The building is dated. The elevators barely fit me and my two teens in it. The suite was nice. I had spots on my comforter and the other bed had what looked like a washed receipt all bunched up on it. The staff was nice and accommodating.

The first thing one sees arriving to the hotel is how filthy is the lobby. Specially the sofas. They are filled with stains. Looks like they were picked from a garbage dump. The floors of the lobby and our floor (4th) were discussing. Dirt marks everywhere. As per the bedroom, out of a half empty hotel, the receptionist had no better room but to place us facing inward directly to the cooling tower and the main plumbing. Having the most important landmark right in front of the hotel, feels insulting that we were given this room. At last the staff behaved and acted as if they were at home. Hanging in the lobby on their phones and not paying attention to serving the guest. Really and overall disappointment.
