"We were disappointed. The room was clean and comfortable, but the WiFi didn't work, and we were told we'd have to wait for a tech to call. We gave up and went to bed. We were also disappointed with the breakfast choices.2021-02-17"
"The hotel was a convenient place to stop. The front desk clerk was so welcoming, pleasant, and informative. The area around the hotel was super walkable and beautiful. The Angry Mussel was an excellent restaurant. Make sure to explore the canal walk.2020-11-01"

"I had a pleasant hotel stay. There was a small park and beach nearby. The staff was kind and friendly. This will be my first choice when I'm in Richmond.2018-04-21"
"My stay at this hotel was incredibly disappointing. The room smelled bad. The walls were dirty, there were stains on the ceiling, and the bedsheets didn't look clean. Had to pay for guaranteed valet parking in the garage across the street, but I found my car parked illegally near the valet area instead of in the garage. I expected better for the price.2016-01-04"
"I had a little trouble finding the hotel because the entrance was around the corner from where my GPS said it was. The room and lobby were attractive and clean, and the parking was convenient.2020-07-25"
"When we arrived at the hotel, there was nowhere to park and nowhere to unload the car. We didn't stay.2017-03-10"
"There were 3 different hotels in 1 building, and one front desk on the 2nd floor was used for them all. I'm older with limited mobility; I requested a 1st floor room, but I was put on the 18th floor at the end of the hallway, far from an elevator. The building was evacuated during my stay, and I had to climb down 18 floors of stairs. The room was always too hot; I complained to management and was told to keep the blinds down. Never got my requested wake-up call. The toilet seat was loose. The ice machine on my floor didn't work. Don't stay at this hotel.2021-05-19"
"The room was nice and clean, and the service was excellent. You'll enjoy your stay at this hotel.2020-12-22"
"The hotel room had many problems. The room wasn't clean, and the TV in the bedroom didn't work. The AC fans outside the window were loud and sounded like an alarm going off. The light in the bathroom was out, and there was no toilet paper dispenser. There was some kind of grate leaning against the shower wall. 2020-06-21"
"The room was nice, but the shower faucet was broken.2022-03-09"
"The hotel was clean. Book it.2021-08-16"
"We were put on the concierge floor, but never told about the amenities. The TV remote control didn't work, and the toilet was stopped up. Both were taken care of by management. The pillows were way too big. The next day, the AC leaked all over the floor and we had to move to the 16th floor. No one helped us with our move, and we're in our 80s. The hotel manager was nice and gave us a discount, but I'm not sure we'd stay again.2015-05-11"
"Great experience. Definitely stay at this hotel.2018-02-26"

"The valet parking was immensely helpful, and the shuttle service was a real perk. Security was lax, though; a group of young non-guests snuck into the pool and were rowdy. I wasn't comfortable and left the pool area. The meals were overpriced. Find another hotel.2017-11-25"
"We stayed at this hotel before and really liked it, but this time we ended up cancelling because unoccupied cars blocked the small drive where you leave your car for valet parking.2021-11-09"

"The walls in my room were in terrible shape, and I woke up to find bugs on the floor. I killed a roach in the bathroom. The staff was nice, but the hotel needed a lot of work. I was disappointed. Don't stay here until remodeling is complete.2019-01-06"
"The hotel room was beautiful, and it was very dark when the curtains were drawn. The bed had lots of pillows.2021-07-06"

"Hotel staff was kind and thoughtful; all of my needs were addressed. I'd encourage people to stay here.2015-02-25"
"Convenient location and good rates. The hotel was run-down and in dire need of a makeover. Even though it was a race weekend, the front desk clerk insisted on checking in everyone at the same time. The housekeeper was on the phone both days I saw her cleaning. The staff wasn't professional. We'll stay somewhere else next year.2018-09-25"

"Good value. This hotel wasn't bad. The room was comfortable and great for our needs.2016-07-09"
"This motel was so bad that we slept in our clothes. A pit bull charged at us when we got off the elevator on our floor. We had to change rooms because of loud barking and screaming. There were spider webs in the corners of the room. The elevator sounded like it was about to fall apart. The hallways smelled like pet waste. I would never stay at this motel again.2020-10-16"

"The hotel was excellent, but the food options didn't add anything.2020-06-29"
"The hotel staff was pleasant and accommodating, but the housekeeping service wasn't acceptable. We returned to our room the 2nd day to find the beds had been made, but the bathroom hadn't been cleaned and no fresh towels were provided. I called the front desk, and towels were brought to our room. The next day, our room wasn't serviced at all. I asked to see the manager, but after 20 minutes of waiting, we had to get on the road. Good food.2018-07-12"

"My suite had roaches, and didn't have clothes hangers. Great service from the hotel clerks.2022-01-16"
"The hotel lobby furniture was dated, and the concrete was terrible. The room felt dirty. The beds were lumpy, and the carpet should've been replaced 20 years ago. The curtains were torn, and the faucet leaked. Don't stay here.2024-02-08"
"Right off the I-95 corridor. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was included. There was a bar and grill across the street for easy dining.2021-08-27"
"The hotel was clean and comfortable, but it smelled like cigarette smoke.2020-07-08"

"My room wasn't cleaned my entire stay. I spoke with the hotel clerk each day about it, but was told housekeeping had left for the day. I had to pick up fresh towels from the front desk and dispose of my own trash. Don't stay here.2019-08-13"
"Clean, comfortable room and friendly, helpful personnel. We were satisfied and recommend this hotel.2019-06-10"

"Just minutes from the airport. The hotel clerk was nice and helpful. The shuttle picked us up from the airport, even though we arrived after midnight.2023-12-20"
"Nice hotel. Close to the Richmond airport, and there was a good Mexican restaurant nearby. Good shower, but the sink faucet was missing the screen, so water splashed on my clothes. I had draped my jeans and shirt over the back of the desk chair, and the housekeeper put them in my husband's suitcase, neatly folded; I initially thought they'd been stolen. I recommend staying here.2023-06-04"

At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
