I wanted to love this hotel but it badly needs a refresh. There were so many large stains on the carpet in my room that I felt really icky walking around with my shoes off. The bathroom did not feel clean- the caulking around the tub and toilet was peeling off and what was there looked like it had been applied by someone who has never done it before. The staff was friendly and helpful for the most part but the valet just watched my friends and I struggle to load our bags in the car, even after we left him a nice tip. Not super hospitable.

Arrived to a room that had not been cleaned; got charged for day parking AND overnight parking for my car being parked for a few hours the day before; then there was a random $50 incidental charge that I never remember being told about that I was told “can sometimes take 2-4 days because of the weekend to come back.” Not worth the expense and would not stay again.

I stay at this hotel often because of its proximity to VCU. The rooms are nice, I always sleep well and it’s pretty quiet. Even with a wedding this last stay, the halls were not loud. I deducted stars this time because check-in is 4 but they did not have rooms ready and I had to wait more than 30 minutes, someone then knocked on my door at 9:30 am to ask if I was checking out at 11, and because the free coffee was unavailable in the morning. Little annoyances. The valet staff is always top notch but the overnight rate for 1 car is $40. Way too much.

Too complicated shouldn’t need the key throughout the whole entire day to get on the elevator. That’s too much. I don’t see cameras by the elevator that’s not safe and the dinner and dining they should be able to deliver or room service for the amount of money that we’re paying it’s supposed to be upscale so I think you guys need to reevaluate kind of use my comment as a good thing please thank you but it would’ve been great to have a tub and some of those king-size bedrooms that’s more so of a luxury room versus just a family room and it would be great to have room service room service is a big big big thing. Also camera
