The room itself (Carpenter suite) was very pretty, but lack of attention to details was apparent. Repairs were obvious and carelessly done (paint touch-ups, tile repair in shower, etc.) The bathroom door would not close… and three adults were sharing a room. The dresser drawers also would not remain closed (they were open upon arrival). The toilet ran every time it was flushed, but jiggling the handle solved the issue. The beds were super comfy! The valet was incredibly kind and gave us tips for the area.

We had a great stay. Everyone was helpful and very friendly. I wish I had names, but we checked in the and the young gentleman grabbed us a cart and went to our car and helped us with the luggage. He also brought everything to our room. I think he also was the valet at that time. The night time valet was super great!!! The hotel is very nice and we had a great stay.

For my this being my first time in Richmond ( I’m from Norfolk ) The commonwealth hotel is very unique. The different pieces of art , the doors, the restaurant it’s all amazing. I think if I ever need a retreat again locally … I’ll definitely come there again as long as I have the same room.

Love the aesthetics of this place. Feels like a historical property as it is. Elevators can barely fit three people but you can only do so much working within the restrictions of a historical site. Staff was top notch. Cozy room, clean and comfy accommodations at a decent price. Would stay again if I go back to Richmond.

Booked this room for one night to attend a concert at Allianz Amphitheater. Within walking distance of venue, parking is pricey ($37/valet), checked in at 4pm, room was just finishing up even though check in says 3pm. Elevators are super tiny but overall hotel was clean and updated with friendly staff.
