It was a bit run down - but not too bad. We stayed here after a tour of University of Richmond. The lady at the front was very nice. Breakfast was fine. Not bad for the price, since Richmond can be a bit pricey.

Check in was quick and easy. The hotel is really nice and modern. Lots of pillows on the bed was nice too. Loved that it was walking distance from the music venue I attended.

Everything was excellent! The ONLY complaint I have is the water pressure was super low, so rinsing off in the shower was a pain, but everything else about the visit was amazing!
