Nice Boutique Hotel
It was a quick overnight on way south. Only complaint was the sheets were a bit scratchy, and the towels could be softer/plusher.

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!!

Very nice comfortable hotel in the center of town
Nice hotel with very large rooms. Comfy beds. The elevators are a little slow and antiquated. Good central location in Richmond but you need to walk a few blocks for bars and restaurants. Great access to historic sites and state capitol.

Clean but otherwise over priced
Overall it was fine. Based on the previous reviews I was expecting more. The food in the restaurant was terrible. Staff was friendly and welcoming. The rooms itself were ok. Clean so that’s really all that matters but for the price I was maybe expecting more.

Clean, comfy, quiet.
The Commonwealth manages to capture a classic yet modernized feel. Desk staff and valets were friendly and helpful. Rooms and common areas were clean, room was fairly spacious, area was quiet. Parking was $37/night, which is expensive, but not out of line with other hotels. Good stay overall, served our needs. Recommended if you need to stay downtown.

We had a great stay. Everyone was helpful and very friendly. I wish I had names, but we checked in the and the young gentleman grabbed us a cart and went to our car and helped us with the luggage. He also brought everything to our room. I think he also was the valet at that time. The night time valet was super great!!! The hotel is very nice and we had a great stay.
