The room was clean, quiet, comfortable, and simple. The front desk was kind and helpful. I didn’t realize I was required to use the valet and the fee of $37 each day. It was hard to find good places to eat nearby. It was rather pricey for the experience.

Good Hotel, Bad Valet

This is our second stay at The Commonwealth as a family. We stay here because it has proximity to the Richmond Convention Hall and the suites are large and comfortable for a family of 5. The hotel is clean and pleasant. The bed is comfortable. The suites have a microwave and fridge. The only downside is the staff. We used valet (the only option) and had to wait an hour for our car. Once I realized how late the car was, my kids and I walked to the Convention leaving my husband to wait. We missed our first session. I asked for that day's valet (about $35) to be comped and I got a runaround about needing to speak with the GM who was not there.

We reserved a suite and expected more from a 4-star hotel. Two small windows and a pretty awkward room. We saw the room across the hall and it was much nicer, and probably the same rate. Unfortunate. Other than that, the service and people are nice. The location was good as well.

What happened to taking pride in hoteling

Hotel had no customer service what so ever. No one greeted you when you entered. No security or controls on who gets in the elevators that provide access to the floors and rooms. Bathroom only had three towels when I booked for 4 people. Bathroom sink drain was backed up, bathroom overall was not pleasant. Shower fixtures shook around when you turned on and off. And worst of it was the noisy air conditioning in the room that kept me up for two nights and ultimately caused me to check out early and find another hotel for one night. When I checked out I mentioned the issue to the front desk attendant and he said I wish I would have mentioned. It’s not my job to mention the obvious, the management should be doing full room sweeps when booked and before a customer comes in to stay. Hoteling 101. And the $37 valet charge is exorbitant. The other hotels in the area charge $25 and the one I ultimately stayed at was complimentary.
