The suite rooms were nice- but a bit pricey. Beds were comfortable, sitting areas very nice and well equipped. Biggest complaint was the first floor bar was a joke, a missed opportunity. House keeping missed our room- but mistakes happen.

Room was spacious, beautiful and clean. Decor was modern. Walkable to dining and night life. VERY minimal parking parking nearby, really only option is valet. Staff were not overly friendly or rude, just there to do their job.

Pros: Beautiful, historic hotel in downtown Richmond. Valet parking was prompt. Dinner was delicious with fast, friendly service although the opening of the dining room and bar was quite delayed (on a Saturday night). King suite was nicely decorated, spacious and very clean. Cons: Check in receptionist was not at all welcoming or helpful. Noisy- although the hotel did not appear to be busy we were placed next to the elevator, our view looked out on hotel mechanical equipment, and street traffic echoed up loudly to our floor.
