  • The front desk staff and comfort care staff were responsive.
  • The horrible noise that woke us up, shaking our walls, and forced us to check out early.

“Unfortunately, the last 45 minutes of our stay overwhelmed our experience. An extremely loud vibration (the physical plant man was astounded) which was shaking the walls of our room and bathroom woke us up and drove us out of our room. Up until the last 45 minutes, the hotel was nice except for lack of information on the website about the parking situation ($16 valet parking or street parking, which is highly restricted Monday through Friday.) The lack of welcome from the valet parking staff, plus the loud jarring music played at the valet station in the driveway. The front desk staff were professional, courteous, informative and helpful. When I commented on the music at the valet station, which actually impeded my conversation with the valet staff, the articulate young woman thanked me for my input and said she would let them know. The Comfort Care director was prompt, thoughtful and accommodating as well. The Physical Plant/Maintenance worker who came to investigate the noise was prompt and thoughtful, despite being shocked and awed by the bizarre, thunderous noise that saturated our room. The renovation is lovely, choice of furnishings and bathroom fixtures is stylish, attractive and comfortable. The pillows were much higher than I am used to and gave me and my boyfriend a bit of neck strain, but that's a highly personal thing.”

  • Desk and parking staff very friendly and helpful.
  • Housekeeping was fair, rooms need updating.

“Overall the hotel was ok, rooms need updating paint chips on the bathtub, covers for door handles were lose. Carpet had ink stains. No microwave in rooms. Housekeeping did fair job, cups were not thrown away after being used, some towels were not replaced on second day of stay, and iron and ironing booed were not put away.”

  • The room was spacious, clean and inviting.

  • Parking is valet only.

  • Staff was awesome!
  • Parking was $16 a day on the weekend!

“Nice hotel with a fantastic staff. Parking was too expensive ($16 a day). City center was dead on the weekend so look elsewhere for parking on Friday or Saturday night.”

  • Great location for price.
  • Valet parking expensive.

“This hotel was clean, the staff was helpful, and parking was not a problem. Plenty of spaces on the street. The bathroom was small but clean.”

  • The room was nice and the location was excellent!
  • Some of the staff were rude, some had their friends hanging out late at night in the lobby, very off-putting.

“The hotel was in a great location, right next to VCU and the fan area. The room was clean and the bed was amazing. Some of the staff were a little unprofessional and rude, although there were exceptions. The worst thing about the hotel is you have to valet park your car for $16 a day. Ridiculous!”

“The hotel is in a nice neighborhood. There are VCU college/graduate housing facilities nearby and this presents opportunities for singles to meet and mingle in the neighborhood. Nice old architecture in the surrounding buildings makes strolling around pleasant.”

  • Staff was very helpful - shuttle bus was a godsend!
  • Parking was non-existent!

“Stayed here to attend a concert at the coliseum, the neighborhood wasn't the best, but the hotel provided a shuttle bus that was very accommodating. Rooms and lobby were clean and staff was friendly. It is more than adequate for an overnight stay.”

  • Spacious room, contemporary decor, comfortable beds.
  • Tiny bathroom, valet parking.

“The hotel and room exceeded my expectations. Hotel staff friendly, and the room was quite spacious although the bathroom very cramped. I liked the Neutrogena products provided. Hotel only has valet parking, but street parking is available at no cost. I was able to get a spot close to the hotel at midnight.”

  • The room had free Wi-Fi.
  • The bathroom was too small for a family, the outdoor pool was unheated and not impressive, and I had to pay for valet parking.

“The room was clean but small, especially the bathroom. I did like the free Wi-Fi access. The staff was friendly and helpful. The pool on the roof was small and unheated. I did not enjoy it. The worst was having to pay for valet parking. The only other choice was to park out on the street.”
