Top VCU Hotel Reviews

Wingate by Wyndham Richmond Short Pump

8/10 Good

"I’ve been staying here for work the last 3 weeks. The hotel is clean and well maintained. The staff is very friendly and helpful."

Graduate by Hilton Richmond

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay in Richmond. Located within a half mile of VCU’s medical campus and also close to Richmond’s city center. There are restaurants within a few minutes walking distance and a cute coffee shop too. The hotel itself has a cozy and modern feel. The staff were friendly and helpful! Would stay again!"

The Jefferson Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staying at the Jefferson is like stepping into an old movie set in a beautiful hotel (and I am sure it has in fact "starred" in a few movies). The hotel is immaculate and the staff are friendly and helpful. The room was inviting and, honestly, I think the bed is one of the most comfortable I've ever slept in — perfect mattress, perfect pillows, cool sheets. We hope we can have another little getaway there someday!"
