This is a wonderful historic hotel right across from the Virginia State Capitol building and its manicured grounds. The service is outstanding...very friendly and caring. The decor in both public areas and rooms is updated and the hotel has a "historic but renovated" feel to it. There is a restaurant/bar on site, and 2 blocks away is Capitol Waffle Shop (opens at 9am).

Great hotel in a great location. Really nice spacious rooms with comfortable beds. Easy walk to historical sites in Richmond. Elevators are a little slow and antiquated.

A suite - and that’s it. Check-in is fine. Parking is $37/night and the valet parks 50 feet away. Don’t pay it. Plenty of parking for less. The bar off the lobby is roped and closed. Nothing extra for the money except maybe the location. No pool, breakfast, nothing. Other than the decor and historic feeling I’d recommend staying somewhere else for the same or less money. Get more for your dollar.

Good location downtown, across from the Capitol building, easy walk to bars and restaurants. The room was spacious, staff was friendly, hotel was quiet. The temperature "control" was more of a suggestion, the cooling system didn't work at all. I found two socks from the previous guest in the bedroom that I had to get rid of. The wifi was nonexistent (1 bar at best and didn't connect) and the room was a dead zone for cell phone service. Overall, wasn't the worst experience I've had and the room was overall fine, but there are more than enough hotels in the area that I would consider elsewhere.

This is my second time staying here and I love it. The rooms are spacious and clean and the staff is so friendly. The gentleman at the front desk remembered me from my last stay which was so nice and rare these days! I also can’t say enough about the valet guy Eric. I came for a comedy show (which was in walking distance and very convenient) He was absolutely amazing and took great care of me, my guest, and my belongings the entire stay. He also gave me great restaurant recommendations. I spoke with some of the staff while outside and they were extremely pleasant, down to earth and helpful. I highly recommend this place if you like a boutique hotel that still gives you a luxe vibe, 10 out of 10 and will be staying here exclusively from now on anytime I come to Richmond.
