The hotel was very clean. Housekeeping does an excellent job. The staff in general were very accommodating and informative. Chef Trent and Cherelle both clearly have a deep understanding of hospitality. Meals prepared by Chef Trent were delicious. Thank you both for being the highlight of my stay.

This is a very busy hotel due to its proximity to the VCU campus, but the staff manages to be helpful and very responsive. I will make a special mention of the beds that are super comfortable! I slept like a baby on a cloud :-)

The only negative was that there is no parking at hotel and valeting your car costs 37 dollars a night!! Besides this the room was very clean and comfortable, the rooftop bar was awesome as well as the lobby. Would definitely recommend!!

I had reserved a corner room. When I checked in the staff told me that the room had been given to someone else. They then gave me a different room with a king. This would have been okay but the shower had no hot water so I was unable to take shower in the morning. I have stayed at this hotel before and had previously had a good experience but this stay came up significantly short of that.
