Disappointing. Not the charming historic place we expected. Terrible service. For example, the morning after we arrived, we opened our curtains and discovered our view was a brick wall. We talked to the front desk clerk and requested a different room. Her response was that her shift ended at 3 and if she had to clean the room it would require her to stay longer. We told her we made our reservation months ago, and it was a special trip for us, but she continued to act like it was an inconvenience to her and refused. Similarly, another desk clerk would not get us a bottle of water (complimentary). Said the shipment had not arrived. He just stared at us. We expressed our frustration and he finally agreed to look in the housekeeping closet, where he miraculously found a few. The "bell man" stationed by the door was there for appearance only. Was on his phone and ignored us or was absent altogether. Finally, the lobby coffee service (the classiest thing there) was gone on our last day. We were told the "shipment had not come in." Staff was not accommodating in the least. Could have offered coffee from the lobby restaurant but did not. We ran two blocks to Starbucks down the street. There are lots of other hotels on or near Carey Street. Wish we had booked one of them.

The hotel was undergoing renovation work but our room had been renovated so was very smart other than a cracked top on the free standing bathroom sink unit (which was odd). Very good position for the city and self parking possible on the street outside if you can find a space.

We were there on a Labor Day Monday. We were told the restaurant at the hotel was always closed on Mondays. We were wanting a drink and some appetizers before the James Taylor concert that evening. At 4:00pm, the Tobacco Company was supposed to open, nope. We found an Irish Pub down the street that opened and sat at the bar for 15 minutes with not even a nod. Found several other customers looking for somewhere to go before the concert, and we all ended up at the Omni which opened up at 4:00pm. It would help the hotel customers to have a clear plan of where to send people on a holiday Monday when you yourselves do not provide service.

The carpet in room was dirty. The globes on lights in bathroom were very dirty.. had to take them off to have better lighting. The luggage carts were very hard to maneuver & the young man @ front door desk didn’t offer to help by holding the door open. The beds were clean & the staff was friendly.

Comfortable, quiet room, perhaps needing a bit of updating. Staff was courteous, check in was easy, restaurant and bar were not interesting, and lacked customers. No breakfast or treats in the morning, only coffee. This is a good downtown location with plenty of restaurants and cafes within easy walking distance. We would stay again if a trip to Richmond was necessary.
