Top Virginia Commonwealth University Hotel Reviews

Graduate by Hilton Richmond

8/10 Good

"This hotel is in a convenient location for the Fan or the Canal parks and walkways. The staff was most congenial and the room was spacious and clean."

Omni Richmond Hotel

8/10 Good

"It was fine. I think the staff could probably do a bit better. The bartender was probably a bit out of her depth. She didn’t know anything about the products and couldn’t make any recommendations. There was hair stuck to the side of the wall in our shower that wasn’t ever removed in the two days we were there and they had difficulty keeping the towels in the pool stocked. However, the pool setup with deck was great for families with kids. It was nicely located and safe. We would stay there again and the value was good."

Hampton Inn & Suites Richmond - Downtown

8/10 Good

"The parking lot access was difficult because it was not explained when we checked in. As a result, every time we left the garage we had difficulty getting out via the gate."

Linden Row Inn

8/10 Good

"It is truly an inn and not a hotel. Very informal check-in (and "securing" of luggage) and check-out. Grounds are fairly attractive, but a little awkward to navigate, especially carrying luggage. Most importantly, it was very clean and conveniently located."

The Jefferson Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Jefferson is a super moly stunning property! One could easily spend their time, exploring it …and never venturing out into Richmond."

Hilton Richmond Downtown

8/10 Good

"Would stay again"
