This is a wonderful historic hotel right across from the Virginia State Capitol building and its manicured grounds. The service is outstanding...very friendly and caring. The decor in both public areas and rooms is updated and the hotel has a "historic but renovated" feel to it. There is a restaurant/bar on site, and 2 blocks away is Capitol Waffle Shop (opens at 9am).

Great hotel in a great location. Really nice spacious rooms with comfortable beds. Easy walk to historical sites in Richmond. Elevators are a little slow and antiquated.

A suite - and that’s it. Check-in is fine. Parking is $37/night and the valet parks 50 feet away. Don’t pay it. Plenty of parking for less. The bar off the lobby is roped and closed. Nothing extra for the money except maybe the location. No pool, breakfast, nothing. Other than the decor and historic feeling I’d recommend staying somewhere else for the same or less money. Get more for your dollar.

Beautiful hotel, but the standout for us was the valet Eric. Extremely nice, hard working man that definitely helped make our trip a memorable one!

Great place, and location!! Valet busy but worth it! Wish they had free breakfast vs buying breakfast and lunch at the restaurant daily.
