“Good hotel, no complaints would stay again. Yes parking is $10, but that is how it works in most cities.”

  • I really liked the room furniture and layout and loved the bathroom sink stand.
  • My room was a little musky smelling of an old air system.

“The staff is out stands out in my mind. The gentleman who drive the shuttle van was very friendly and on-time. The only two down sides are that the lobby area saw cigarette-smoky and the hotel is next to a police station and I was awoken during the night from sirens. The hotel did have ear-plugs in a cute baggie on the bed. I was surprised that the coffee product that is supplied in the room was real good. I had stayed at a 4-star hotel in the previous month and their coffee product wasn't good.”

  • I enjoyed the downtown location so that I could walk to local restaurants/places of interest.
  • I did not like the pool. It would have been better to have an outdoor pool or have windows that opened in the summer.

“Everyone at the hotel was very friendly and helpful. The downtown location was close to the Civil War Battleground National Park and a private Civil War Museum. It was also close to Shokko Bottom/Slip which had bookstores, restaurants and other shops. We were able to walk to all of these attractions. A free shuttle was available for use within 2 miles of the hotel. I did not care for the pool because it was enclosed and very hot/steamy. My kids on the other hand had a great time swimming. A few opened windows would have helped. Our room overlooked the James River and we saw a beautiful sunset one night. The beds were comfortable. The room was clean. We did not get room service. A great stay for us.”

  • It was not most lethargic service one can ever receive. The only good thing I like about the restaurant is that I can see the city outside.
  • Customer service lies a lot of air conditioner turned off during the check in.

“I will never recommend this hotel to anybody due to its staff who lied during check in. Not having air conditioned on at 14th floor due to problems, was not reported during check in. And upon asking staff continuously lied about how long the air conditioner was off and not working. My entire trip was ruined because of such lies and bad customer service from the hotel.”

  • The neighborhood was awful, the hotel was rundown.

  • The free eye cover, and the bed and pillows.
  • Staff not friendly or helpful one bellman wouldn't get ice for my insulin, and I had cast on my foot.

“I would only go back with my kids. Unless I am with a group of kids. Very helpful car parkers and van drivers. Much more friendlier then desk staff and other hotel workers.”

  • The shuttle service was amazing and let me get around without driving.
  • They charged me $10 for a fridge. I thought the fridge would be in the room.

  • All the staff at the hotel was very pleasant and courteous.
  • The restaurant menu needs to be expanded to include items for vegetarian children, such as plain rice, noodles and vegetables.

“The only disappointment that our family had with the hotel was that my grandchildren were with me for 2 days and the pool and hot tub we cool instead of hot, according to the staff a part was on order to fix the hot tub. We booked the hotel for the luxury and the indoor pool facilities, which was somewhat disappointing.”

  • They upgraded me to the executive floor, since my room was not ready yet, even though it was before check in time.
  • $10 for parking.

“I stayed on a special floor, so I can only speak for rooms on that floor. It was lovely-bathroom was luxurious, bed was awesome, hotel staff went above and beyond. Wonderful!”

“This was a good overall stay. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The pool/hot tub was great for the kids, and the exercise room was well outfitted. The physical maintenance is lacking.”

  • The furniture was not comfortable.

“The hotel was nice, but the king size bed left a lot to be desired since it was sunken in the middle. Sleep was not the most comfortable due to that.”

“The hotel was centrally located with both a restaurant and bar/coffee bar that served both meals from the restaurant or appetizers. Staff was helpful and friendly. Parking garage attached to hotel. There was a $10. Fee for parking. Bed was super comfortable with lots of pillows.”

  • Close to where I needed to be with not overly expensive parking.
  • Elevators were very slow, place is beginning to show age and mini-fridge in room would have been nice.

“Nice hotel for the price I paid. The room was clean and had good space. It is beginning to show its age, but they seem to be keeping up with it, except for the fitness room where the equipment was old and in need of repair and/or replacement. A downtown hotel with nice clean rooms and affordable ($10) daily self parking means there is a chance I would stay there again.”

  • At our request, they put us in a quiet room on New Year's Eve.
  • The pool and hot tub were very cold!

“Right off the freeway, this hotel is conveniently located. Pros: the staff was friendly; room was nice and cleans with a great view. Cons: There is not much common space, and the pool/hot tub was very cold! The main restaurant was closed so we ended up at the Smokey bar restaurant downstairs where the service and food quality were lacking.”
