Great place great valet questionable housekeeping

For the most this place was great, the valet was friendly helpful and welcoming. Some of the front desk were too. The room large and modern and had a safe and valet. Sadly for the one day I was there, my room was not made and the towels not replaced. As Id been out all day I only found out after a night on the town. I discussed this with front desk on checkout and they were respectful re the situation and mentioned to followup on this. Im happy to give it the benefit that it was an oversight as the front desk were very apologetic and surprised. Overall this was a blip on a great place that tbh I would come back to next time Im in Richmond.

OK but I'd stay elsewhere

The suite was very large but sparsely appointed and had only two small windows. Bathroom again was huge but no tub, very minimally appointed. There was a coffee maker but no coffee cups. I tried to get a quick coffee to go downstairs at the bar, and the lady behind the counter told me she was busy and if I was in a hurry I could walk down the street and find a cafe. There does not appear to be room service or the other sorts of amenities that one would expect in a business hotel.

Our experience at The Commonwealth was top notch from the moment we pulled up to the valet parking area. We were immediately greeted by Eric, who asked direct questions to establish what we would need. Eric would prove to be the absolute best resource that any hotel guest could ever have. He cared for not only our vehicle, but made sure we had all the information we needed to make the most of our visit to Richmond. Every time we saw him over the course of our stay, he was asking how he could help. He was a great ambassador for the Commonwealth and for the city itself. I didn’t get the name of the young man who checked us in, but he was equally friendly, efficient and welcoming. The hotel itself is gorgeous with tons of historical charm. I prefer to avoid “cookie cutter” hotels and the Commonwealth is in a league of its own. We enjoyed the custom murals throughout and the paintings featured on the room doors had such a whimsical feel. We were tired from driving, so we chose to eat at the Rueger’s restaurant adjacent to the lobby. The food was good and our server, Maria, was engaging and made some delicious cocktails featuring local moonshine from Belle Isle Distillery. We enjoyed talking to her while having our dinner both nights of our stay. Our suite was not large, but it overflowed with style and character. Everything was in good working order and we were able to relax. The linens were clean and comfortable. The bed was firm and we had no problems drifting off to sleep.
Lovely exterior where Eric will greet you and welcome you in.

The hotel is super convenient, reasonably priced for the location, but the staff is what really helps it shine. The gentleman who appeared to be the night manager/supervising the front desk (Al) in particular was an absolute model of great hospitality -- I tend to run late, but he not only remembered me from a previous stay and knew not to cancel it but was also so nice it allayed any guilt I had. And while the room was gorgeous, the bed (maybe with a featherbed topper?) is my favorite part -- it's up there with like the Westin heavenly bed in terms of a top notch sleep experience.
