Hotel is fine, but no self parking, only expensive valet available at the hotel property. The only other parking for guests, is on your own on the urban streets around the hotel in Richmond. For this reason I would not go back to this property again. I lost sleep that night worrying about my car parked on the downtown street.

While our room was pleasant enough, the bathroom was so small it was difficult to dry off after taking a shower. The hotel runs a shuttle within a 3-mile radius which is a nice feature but when we called, as instructed, to be picked up from the restaurant where we had dinner, the person on the phone was rude.

I would tell anyone looking for a place to stay to steer clear. This hotel is comparable to a Motel 8 in all ways other than the price. Make sure you plan an extra $50 a night when booking, as nothing is included in your stay. There is an expectation when choosing the Hilton brand. This in fact is the... More

Decent hotel for the price, but we didn't have a vehicle which made exploring Richmond quite difficult. Taxis are few and far between - the front desk had to call numerous companies before finding us one - and the bus system is quite poor. The area immediately around the hotel is a bit shabby and the more tourist-friendly areas were... More

Great hotel, found it on priceline. Clean and comfortable rooms, very well-maintained. Staff was also very helpful and friendly. Satisfactory in every way, and a good value for the rate through priceline. Check-in was relatively quick, even though we had a rather large group checking in for a work conference. Limited parking and no "free" breakfast were the only down-side... More

Rude staff and less than par rooms. Definitely not worth the money. Drain was clogged and instead of offering us a new room they sent a maintenance person over to interrupt us for 15 minutes while he put draino down the drain. STILL WAS CLOGGED the next day and when it was reported i got an apology. Thanks for nothing!

The restaurant waiter Marlin was wonderful and the bar staff was extremely accommodating and professional. We received excellent service. Also the front desk staff was wonderful and understood our frustration with the lack of hot water on Sunday, May 26. Everyone was extremely professional and helpful.

We stayed at this nice hotel in a very nice area of Richmond and were happy for our stay except for the breakfast which does not have any option for vegetarians except bread and fruits! Though there were quite a few meat options. The room was nice and bed comfortable but the bathroom in our room was a matchbox!!

The front desk staff (exception Katina) is to be avoided unless absolutely necessary. The facial expressions and body language dare the guest to approach and request anything. If you do find the courage to speak, you might get an apparently rehearsed answer. "We are full and can't guarantee......" The rooms have been redecorated and now there are no towel racks... More
