Very pleasant business trip stay!
I had a very nice stay at this hotel and was very comfortable while there. The room was nice, clean, and comfortable. The staff were very welcoming and pleasant. The free breakfast was very nice with many filling options and one of the fanciest coffee machines I've seen in a hotel, brewing fresh cups of coffee on demand without the use of disposable type kcups. Parking was also very convenient and was decently priced.

Very convenient & easily walkable to the Allianz Ampitheatre. Parking was a little scary wondering if the car was going to fit, it's a very low ceiling. Bed was comfy. Shower pressure wasn't great. Breakfast was nice!

Check in was quick and easy. The hotel is really nice and modern. Lots of pillows on the bed was nice too. Loved that it was walking distance from the music venue I attended.

Good hotel
The service was good & the room was nice & clean, especially the upgrade. The hotel was close to where I was going. The only issue was, there was only one elevator working.

My sister and i enjoyed our stay there. We felt very safe and everyone was very helpful and personable. We would have liked to stay longer, if we come back to stay in Richmond it will be with you. I do wish the price was lower.

Clean, comfy, great breakfast
The room was nicely updated and very clean. Beds were comfortable (pillows were quite puffy, but I prefer pretty flat ones. not a huge deal though. Breakfast was very good and I enjoyed experiencing their auto-pancake making machine. My only real complaint is the parking garage was too low for our jeep, but there was ample street parking.
