One night, good experience!

We were able to check in a bit early, which was very helpful because of a meeting in Richmond. Alana, at the desk, secured us a car and driver to get us to and from. I am recovering from a stroke and, though it was a short distance, the walk would have been difficult. Our room was great, very comfortable with views of the city.

Hotel was good, I felt like parking was expensive. Room was huge and could have used more furniture or places to sit. Only 1 chair and 1 office chair, not comfortable for 2 people.

Nice stay

I was in town for my nieces Match Ceremony. The hotel is right downtown. Very convenient to the National Theater. Checking in was very quick and easy. It is odd that you must park your car on the street to check-in. The you must drive around the block, go under the hotel into the parking garage, to unload you car into the elevator. Then go to your room. A little scary for a woman traveling by herself and arriving later in the evening. But it all worked out fine. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Housekeeping was very friendly.

Very good for the price

The room was nice for the price. Does not have free parking, which I did not realize until I got there. We had a king size bed which was comfortable on one side but the other side seemed like it was going down hill. Overall good experience. We had a big room with 3 windows.
