I cannot believe the wonderful experience we had at a "budget" hotel. When arriving on the property, we were greeted by the kindest desk clerk, Jason. Check-in was fast and easy. Our rooms were clean and spacious. The room was a little too warm at the start, but we were able to get the air conditioning working to cool it down. The area around the hotel can be noisy on Friday nights, but it wasn't much of the hotel's fault as there seemed to be some kind of party down the street. Breakfast was great and every single person we passed that worked for the hotel was extremely friendly and helpful. Any time we come to Richmond, we're definitely staying at the Holiday Express downtown.

The stay was below average, unfortunately. The other reviews are correct about this property. The rooms are poorly cleaned and even the common areas are dirty. The housekeeping and cleaning staff need to step it up on this property. The sheets are stained which is gross to sleep on. The other staff is average but professional. Also, the fire alarm went off at 5 am just to cement how below-average our stay was.

Poor experience
The staff were perfectly friendly but we were woken up at 5:30 am by the fire alarm, evacuated, then quickly shuffled back inside with little more than a brief apology and no explanation for what happened. Doors slamming at 8am woke us up after a fitful nights sleep.

This was one of the worst experiences ive ever had in a hotel. Where do I begin with, the first room they put us in was all smelling like Marijuana, the floors were dirty, found pubic hair on the floor, and the shower was dirty. They moved us to another room which was also dirty and disgusting. The shower floor is all rusty and the bathroom needs to be renovated. The room service is trash, they come in the morning do gove you towels and if you ask them to clean they say no. Like what the hell!. Would never ever go back there again. Please try to avoid and dont trust the pictures. Its a scam!

Very comfortable and clean room. John at desk very helpful, and thorough. He recommended a local Thai restaurant that is excellent. Minor irritant: The parking garage beneath the hotel is open, anyone from street can walk right in. However, that's mitigated by the presence of many security cameras. Nice location. Nice hotel. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you.
