I was pleasantly surprised by my stay at this hotel. The location was great with ample street parking, and even though it's not as stylish as some others nearby, it had a genuine and relaxed vibe. The service was top-notch, making my first visit a very pleasurable experience. However, there were some mixed attitudes among the staff members in different areas of the hotel. Overall, a good choice for a comfortable stay.

7.2/10

The hotel is conveniently located near the lively James River and just a mile away from old city hall. The rooms are spacious and stylish, but having only a shower could be a drawback. The service was generally nice, although a bit inconsistent at times. The dining experience was satisfactory, but the breakfast service was slow and lacked variety.

Rooms

The hotel's location is good, close to the Jefferson hotel and not far from the city center, despite an odd transparent wall in the room layout.

Dining

The dining experience was just what we needed, although the breakfast service was slow and limited in options.
