This hotel is located across the street from the capitol building and in the center of the downtown area. Short walk to most downtown attractions. My room/ bathroom were large and comfortable. The bathroom had heated towel rack and a bidet (if your into that sort of thing). I found the service to helpful and informative. There are a few... More

Traveled up to Richmond to see a show at the national. We were lucky enough to find Commonwealth on the web, and decided to give it a try. We weren't disappointed. Henry at the front desk was so friendly & polite, and made you feel very welcome! Probably the best desk clerk that we've ever met and we travel A... More

I recently (last night) stayed here for an event in Richmond. We booked with this hotel because of its proximity to the capital building. That was the only good thing about it. When we arrived we realized that the beds were not queen size, but double beds. The key cards work after about 10 tries so it makes getting into... More

If you... More

The rest of the staff was also friendly and accommodating - especially the valet service they were quick and efficient - never... More

I stayed at this hotel in October of 2011 for 2 nights. I checked into my first room that overlooked a very nice park, but the noise from the street was really loud so I asked to move. I was able to move to an interior room that had a view of another building, but was much quieter. Both rooms... More

I recently stayed at the Commonwealth on business. I had previously stayed at one of your competitors and had both good and bad experiences. When I first walked in, the lobby and elevators looked small and I doubted my choice. However the warmth and friendliness of your staff and the extremely large rooms made for a wonderful stay. I also... More
