Staff was extremely helpful. Rooms were on the small side, but very comfortable. A block or two over from the hotel seemed a little iffy at night, but immediate vicinity was fine. Nice-ish neighborhood overall and very close to VCU. Overall, would stay again.

This was a gem we booked at the last minute, and I can’t say enough positive things about it. The property is immaculate, and the rooms are spacious and modern. The staff was so friendly and helpful (and I love that they are college students). The room cards are such a great touch! Parking was convenient on the property, and the area has great restaurants in walking distance.
