This was a bad experience as the hotel appeared dingy, the elevator floors were dirty and the bathroom tub was rusted and I was not able to give my son a bath. The toilet seat was not cleaned properly as it had pubic hair behind the lid. Horrible experience and I would not stay here again.

The Location was perfect for the VCU graduation we attended and getting around was easy. The room was comfortable and roomy/bed was excellent. Staff was very good other than getting extra pillows was difficult (we asked for some and were told that they didn't have any but would check.. He did "find" 1.. Thought it was odd that a hotel didn't have extra pillows.

OK place. Run down, rusty shower components. Needs new paint. Just old and worn out. Very difficult to park large vehicle when the very limited spots are taken. Difficult to find for check in.

Worth it! Perfect for a weekend stay!
We stayed in the King Bed Executive Room, and it was a very spacious room for 2 people. They have an armoire to hang clothes with a safe, and an ironing board. The bed was very comfortable and the room was very clean! We stayed on the 4th floor and had a very nice view of the city. Breakfast was good (buffet style), and I appreciated being able to take it to the room and warming it up in the microwave later (since I’m not a huge morning person). The customer service was great as well! If you’re looking for a comfortable stay, look no further!

As with previous stays, the service, room, and hospitality received were ideal. The staff made me feel welcomed and appreciated. The room was clean and comfortable. The parking was great!

Room 1, had some mechanical issues with what was explained as a fan issue, loud noises. Room 2, next room tenants were loud and possibly doing recreational drugs. Room 3, thermostat seemed like it wasn't working, explained as the thermostat is locked. That issue was corrected. We inquired about possibly getting another room, but was told, "at that point we would refund your money, with how many times we moved you and have you go to different hotel." Which is a bit rude, as we are guests in your hotel. I understand, it is bit inconveniencing or frustrating, but the issues resided with the hotel and maintenance, not the guest.

Not Your Best...
After driving all day , check in was fine. Our room in the corner was great until Sleep time. I realize it was a Saturday nite but around 10'ish the party started next door...Around 11:30 , I believe some female quests arrived making it worst . I went down to the desk to change my room...No sense in asking them to be quiet..I will ask for my money back
