Great value, comfort, and location

This was our second time staying st Richmond Graduate, and it was still a great experience! Check-in was pleasant and easy, the room was spotless, and comfortable, and the location is fantastic (near downtown and only a few miles from one of the most unique areas of Richmond, Carytown.
Joseph, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Check in and check out was quick and easy. The hotel was very cute and so clean. Our beds were comfortable. We were there for a show at the Altria Theatre and it was an easy walk. There are many restaurants in the area also.

6/10 Good

The service was excellent, but the cleanliness was less than desirable. The chairs in the restaurant were stained, the bathroom wasn’t clean and the carpets were stained,
Tammy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent visit overall. The hotel was full and only had 2 elevators working, so it was always a wait for the elevator. Bed and shower were awesome! Walkable to Altria Theatre and downtown restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
Cindy, 1-night trip

Wonderful hotel convenient to everything. Nice staff and good restaurant/bar. Only issue was the non working elevator which led to very long waits for the one working elevator.
