The staff was very nice, the room was spacious and clean. The room wasn't ready when I arrived but the woman who checked me in was gracious enough to upgrade the room as a courtesy for patiently waiting. The lobby and bar was nice as well. Location was perfect. Would definitely stay there again.

Cannot possibly say enough great things about the staff at this property. Main desk - amazing. Valet team - killed it. Everyone was so kind, and incredibly helpful. We were traveling with our dogs, who were also treated like royalty. Also - the rooms SMELL AMAZING. To the point, that I'd love to know what they use. Great, central Richmond location. Will definitely be back!

The rooms were great, very spacious, quiet and very comfortable. However, there was only an option for instant coffee provided in the room, which obligated us to use the downstairs breakfast facility. We had pre-booked that to be included so that wasn’t a big deal (and the food was quite good), but it would have been nice to be able to get a decent cup of real coffee as soon as up! The valet parking option was messy and resulted in significant delays and some distress (if not panic altogether) at the end of our stay due to the key of one of our vehicles having been misplaced, but was ultimately resolved.

I was given a handicapped bathroom with no border btw shower and bathroom floor. They provided a bath towel and a handtowel. No mat, no extra towel. Called front desk and requested more towels. 30 mins passed. Called a second time and finally got towels. No desk to work at in room. No free coffee, not even for rewards members.
