Graduate by Hilton Richmond
Free coffee/tea in the lobby would have been nice. Elevator issue - only 1 of 3 working. Used the stairs for our 5th floor rooom.

The Commonwealth
Would highly recommend The Commonwealth. The staff was so incredibly nice and accommodating. The room was lovely with a separate sitting area, giving all room to spread out. Will definitely be back!

The Berkeley Hotel
The downside is there is no restaurant in the facility. They rely on a restaurant leased separately. The result is no food available on Mondays at all and limited hours when they are open. Normal restaurant hours but not food service hours in a five star hotel
