Best Hotel in Richmond

One of the nicest places we have stayed. The hotel was amazing, but the staff really made this place special. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. We travelled from WV, and my family from Gettysburg, PA to go to the Richmond NASCAR race together. From the moment we arrived to departure, the staff treated us like they were part of our family. The rooms were spotless and the beds were amazing!!

The door to our room did not lock. We reported this in the morning and were assured it would be fixed right away. When we can back, the maintenance guy had marked it as fixed but the lock still didn’t work. He was gone for the day so we spent two night in a hotel without a working lock and nobody seems particularly concerned about it. Valet staff was great, super helpful and friendly. Location is good for downtown but not close to the main shopping and dining areas.

When I was coming through the door to check in, I had 2 large suitcases as this was the first of many stops. There were 3 men behind the counter and no hotel guests...they all watched me struggle to get through the door... My friend another woman, had to help me get in the door. Terrible customer service. The bar area had an odd smell... I realize the building is old, but it was almost unbearable.

This is a lovely old hotel in a great location. Staff was very helpful and professional. We had breakfast and dinner at the hotel, and both meals were very good. Front desk staff were exceptionally helpful. Only complaint was that our in-room AC was so loud that we had to turn it off to sleep. We mentioned it to the desk staff at checkout. Overall, we had a good experience here.
