• Christmas decorations, friendliness of staff.
• No vending machines, gift shop closed at 4 p.m.

“Beautiful hotel, very comfortable rooms. Dining rooms were wonderful, and everyone on the staff was particularly friendly and helpful. They always remembered your name, and spoke to you every time they say you. The shuttle to Downtown was very helpful. Hope to stay there again.”

• Lobby & mezzanine are beautiful.
• Food & food service was not good.

“This hotel is rated as the "only 5 star" within the region. I have no idea what makes it a 5 star. Yes, it's grand & historic; however, the rooms are nothing special, food was awful, & they were understaffed. Pretty place to stop in & see or have tea; however, I would never stay there again. The Omni is a 4 star, nicer, & half the price.”

• The staff was very helpful they opened the gift shop for me when closed and then drove me to drug store to get what I needed.
• No fans in the bathroom so it would steam up a lot from the shower and didn't dissipate afterwards.

“Clearly the best hotel in Richmond with good service and the small touches that make a difference.”

• It's beautiful, wonderful restaurant, extremely professional staff.
• The windows in our room were a bit high to the sill.

“This is an absolutely beautiful, historic hotel with a very professional and accommodating staff. We have stayed at the Jefferson Hotel many times and are never disappointed in it. As a matter of fact, we try to get to Richmond for a couple a days every year just to enjoy the museums and the Jefferson Hotel.”

• Excellent historical hotel. Excellent and excellent food.
• Room was a poor reflection of the common area. Bed was not comfortable at all; wake up with aches and pain.

“Upon entering the main lobby you are immediately greeted with history and charm of a grand hotel. The staff was wonderful in meeting your every need. Although there is wonderful history and rich heritage, the room itself could use some overhaul to make it a bit more modern. The bed was particular uncomfortable and the pillows were equally the same.”

• I couldn't pick just one thing. I loved everything. I would have to say that the staff was my favorite part. Excellent!
• There isn't anything that I disliked.

“Nothing can prepare you for the beauty and elegance of the hotel. The hotel staff matched the surroundings perfectly with their warmth, friendliness and accommodating style. You suspect when you stay at an older hotel that the age may show through a little with the sounds, the water or the air. Not at The Jefferson. It was a fantastic experience and I look forward to staying there again. Don't miss the history center inside the hotel. It was very fascinating.”

• The staff are well trained and went out of their way to help.
• Location is not the best but transport provided by hotel to downtown area.

“Superb welcome, good size room. Additional towels provided as soon as requested, bellhop cleaned small spill evident on arrival without being asked. Breakfast and dinner were of a high standard with impeccable service. The hotel is five star standard and the staff help the hotel to maintain that standard.”

• The service, spaces are beautiful, Lamaire restaurant is wonderful.
• It's in an old neighborhood, but what can you do? It's over a hundred years old.

“If your in Richmond, spring for the Jefferson. You'll never forget it. Have dinner at Lamaire in the hotel. Be sure to take the complimentary Town car service to the state capital and be humbled by Thomas Jefferson's masterpiece.”

• The front desk and concierge were great, they upgrade us with smiles.
• They need to upgrade the TV¿s in the rooms.

“I thought it was a grand, old hotel, and the people working at all levels were helpful and genuinely nice. What can way they upgraded our room when we asked. A great experience. I wished we had been able to eat in the restaurant- it looked beautiful, and was designated many stars.”

• Beautiful.
• Rooms are tiny.

“Beautiful hotel! Interior and everything inside and out are amazing. However, the rooms are so small - I would rather stay in the Marriott, for a lot less money. Again, the rooms are about half the size of a 3 star hotel, at best. But very nice. The bar is also nice, and I was surprised that a pint of Guinness could be hard for $5.50.”
