I had a fantastic stay at The Commonwealth! The hotel is beautifully located right across from the Capitol, which made exploring Richmond super easy. My room was not only clean and spacious but also very comfortable, truly exceeding my expectations for the price. The staff was incredibly helpful and made our stay even more enjoyable. The only downside was the low water pressure in the shower, but that didn't take away from the overall experience.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel, which is full of unique retro charm and located conveniently near the Capitol. The staff were genuinely attentive and made my experience special with extra touches, like a complimentary room upgrade for a birthday celebration. However, the cleanliness in my initial room left something to be desired, and there were a few maintenance issues. Overall, it was a fun and comfortable experience that I would gladly repeat!

I had a delightful stay at The Commonwealth, where the service truly stood out, especially thanks to staff like Stephanie and Henry. The location is fantastic, right across from the State Capitol, making it easy to explore the area. While my room was spacious and nicely appointed, it was a little too tucked away with limited natural light, and the air conditioning was quite noisy. Overall, it was a solid experience, but I do wish there were more convenient parking options.

The hotel stay had its ups and downs. While the room we were in was spacious, the lack of natural light made it feel quite gloomy. The service from the staff was decent but could be more accommodating. The location was great, right across from the Virginia State Capitol, which added to the charm. Unfortunately, the overall experience did not quite meet our expectations, especially given the price we paid.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which features unique, spacious rooms that were both comfortable and filled with charming decor. The staff was generally warm and welcoming, especially in the restaurant, though my check-out experience left something to be desired. The location is fantastic, placing me in the heart of the city with easy access to local attractions. However, there were a couple of hiccups with the room amenities that slightly affected my experience.
