I recently attended a meeting in Richmond, held in a venue of one of the hotels near the airport. I initially thought I'd get a room there but am sooo glad I decided to treat myself to something with far more ambience, at very little additional cost, and a whole lot more better comfort and value. Such was my 3-night... More

My wife and I selected this hotel to celebrate our anniversary and found our visit to be without flaw! The Berkeley is an older hotel but maintained in pristine condition with lots of mahagony and brass.. The food in the restaurant was most excellent and the wait staff was professional and helpful. Our room was large, spotless, quiet and very... More

The room I was in was spacious and nicely decorated and the bed was very comfy. The front desk staff were extremely helpful. The location is excellent, on a really lovely street with a lot of good restaurants and bars within walking distance. I had dinner in the restaurant and really loved it. Try the crab cakes they're excellent. Wish... More

It’s great to hear when our guests fall in love with our hotel. We are a unique boutique four diamond property in the middle of downtown Richmond. One of the first things guests realize is our great location in the famous Shockoe Slip historic district of Richmond. We are also only three blocks from the state capital and in the... More

Hotel is located in a very nice part of Richmond just a few blocks off the James River between a rather cosmopolitan part of town (Shockoe Bottow) and a business district. I was in town to see a show at the National Theater several blocks NW of the hotel. Decided to walk to the theater since it was nice out... More

This small quiet hotel is a great base for a stay in Richmond. Many of the top tourist sites are in easy walking distance and the financial district begins right across the street. The room was nicely appointed and the bed was comfortable. Other reviewers have mentioned the noise from the bars and restaurants across the street but it was... More

Room was large and the beds well appointed, but the towels and floor mat in the bathroom were frayed. We had a room that faced the alley so although the view was unattractive (could see staff outside smoking) there was no noise as noted in other reviews. I was surprised it had four diamonds. The service buttons on the phone... More

This is a comfortable hotel in a perfect location, right where the cobblestone streets of Shockhoe Slip meet the financial district. You can walk to a dozen great places to eat and drink, an independent book store, the canal, the state capitol, and most of the major office buildings. The hotel is relatively small and intimate: everything is tasteful and... More
