The rooms were clean and staff very friendly. The elevators were slow as expected with an older hotel. Bed could use to be changed out and shower could use a deep clean but all in all it was a good deal for the price.

Really nice hotel in Richmond. The staff were very.nice and helpful. Our room definitely exceeded expectations from the huge sectional and super comfy king sized bed, to the 2 full bathrooms and really nice wall art. And they let us choose anything we wanted on the menu for our included breakfast.

Super good service from the first valet to the last front desk agent who checked us out. The suite was huge and ideal for a family with children as there was a bunk bed in the living room. WiFi and TV were both excellent and we felt very much at home.
