I can’t recommend this hotel Overall, it was merely ok The room was big, could have been cleaner

Lots of little issues to include big lines going down the TV, broken hook on the back of the bathroom door, loose toilet paper holder, wall damage, rusted table, water damaged vanity in the bathroom and the coffee pot didn’t fit in the coffee maker I expect more out of this brand of hotels and was quite disappointed Not too mention the homeless person sleeping on one of the couches in the outdoor area If none of this bothers you, book it If they do, pick somewhere else to stay

Kim Wilson

We are enjoying our stay, just checked in today I was a bit worried about some of the reviews, but everything is perfectly fine so far Our room is very clean, no issues at all

All of the staff are very nice & even the other guests that we’ve encountered They have a very nice outdoor area & we have sat out there this afternoon No complaints, highly recommend

Larhonda Stout

It’s just okay The girl at the front desk is soooooo nice and professional The hotel seems dated and needs a thorough cleaning

Stains were on the couch, chair and headboard Honestly it seems like the cleaners didn’t even wipe down the furniture Some of the dirt could just be wiped off Chipped paint in the bathroom Small hairs in the bed Stained dish towels The carpet needs to be cleaned The kitchen and bathroom floors need to be mopped They were sticky I suppose it’s okay for an overnight stay but I can’t imagine staying here for an extended period of time unless I was low on funds Oh and the ac is weird I had to put it on a very low temp to get the room cold This could be a good hotel if it had proper upkeep

I highly recommend Gail for your officiant needs After the initial consultation, we communicated on several occasions well before the wedding date to plan details specific to the ceremony Communication throughout the entire process was very professional and thorough, which made for a stressless experience

Drawing upon her experience, Gail brought insightful suggestions and recommendations that aligned well with our specific needs Our ceremony and experience were exactly as described and we couldn’t be happier I would highly recommend Gail and her services to anyone, friends and family

Krista Carter

Gail did such an amazing job with our marriage ceremony We knew we wanted to have someone that could capture our love for each other without being too religious and Gail went above and beyond what we could have imagined The passages she chose for our ceremony were perfect and brought tears of joy to our friends and families witnessing our wedding

We highly recommend Gail for your big day!

stacy Slavik

Gail was amazing as our wedding officiant  She walked us through the process and explained every detail so we would be prepared  We had to reschedule our wedding due to Covid and she was very accommodating

  We wanted a non-denominational wedding that incorporated our children and a handfasting and she was able to put together an intimate and beautiful ceremony  We can’t say enough wonderful things!

Enard is grey Not red

Ate Brunch over this past weekend Not as good as it used to be The environment was great; but the breakfast salad was not eatable

Way to salty Sausage had too much fennel especially if not a fennel fan Cuban had no pickles Ate dinner and it was just ok Entree was to have whipped potatoes but they were roasted Will try again after they are open a little longer

Bill Olewnik

I called to inquire about making a room reservation, went to voicemail, left a message and no responseI emailed inquiring about making a room reservation and no responseI guess they don’t need the business!Milton from the Henry Clay Inn did eventually follow up with me, we had a great conversation & he was very helpful

Scott Lisech

First time at the Henry Clay Inn for Sunday brunch The BLT sandwich and Vegetarian Omelette were exceptionally good and the prices were reasonable Sorry I forgot to take pictures but I can say that the presentation was excellent

The servers were very busy but the service was very good Planning to go back in the near futureWent for a second time and brought friends who also loved it too And I remembered the pictures this time

A nice hotel staff polite and friendly check in quick and easyThe location even though your near too Richmond airport it’s still a quieter location there are restaurants that are walkable etcThe room modern spacious wood floors and ceramic in the bathroom I do find in a hotel carpets seem to be overrated

You do have a outside pool which I got there late and didn’t useBreakfast was great full service breakfast with hot food everything you needed they haveAll in all a good all round service look forward on going back

Michael Kelly

The staff was very polite and helpful which normally would get four stars The location to the venue we attended was greatUnfortunately there was no mention the pool would not be open (which was the main reason our family as well as two other families stayed at this hotel

) Having to explain to grand-children why they can’t use the pool was not something we should have had to deal with The breakfast was also a disappointment The powdered eggs were terrible and the sausage was not too good either The remaining choices were iffy at bestAs for the room, it was nice and clean The water pressure in the shower however was non existent It took three times longer and a considerable amount more water to rinse off than any normal shower should

Unfortunately my car broke down as I was passing through So being from out of town, I was exhausted, with 3 kids, ready for rest I really enjoyed my stay! My room was clean

Staff was nice They have a shuttle that took me to Walmart to get all we need for out unexpected stay Nice continental breakfast, delicious waffles! There’s a man, I hope I’m getting his name correct, MrG, I believe He older, very kind Oh my Gosh, I was so grateful for his kindness Front desk man, I don’t remember his name, I’m sorry He had a beautiful chocolate complexion, tall He too, was very kind to me and my children Because of how pleasant and affordable my stay was, I would for sure come back!!!

The good: This is an older hotel, and it shows its age, but the bed was comfortable, linens were clean and no stains, AC did the job, water pressure in the shower was incredible Breakfast was good; the make your own waffle thing is pretty neat and the lady manning the breakfast was friendlyThe bad: The bathroom was not clean

The toilet seat was up with dried urine clearly visible on the underside of the seat I had sanitary wipes with me, so I just cleaned it myself Since I was cleaning the toilet, I started just wiping down the whole bathroom The tub was also in need of a real scrubbing, leaving residue on my wipes The shower head had lime scale that should be removed The sink faucet was broken in a way that it sprays water forward The floor had a handful of hairs Honestly,, I should probably give a 2 just bc of the bathroom I didn’t need it, but the microwave was also dirty insideOdd: There was no ice machine in the building, but there was the old standard hotel ice bucket in the roomI waffled on leaving a review, but when I checked out, no one asked me how my stay was, or if I had any feedback So, here it is

Karen C

Hotel is tired and in need of renovations Carpet was so dirty I had to wear my sandals when in the room Dark hairs on the wash cloths and shower wall

House staff was rude when I asked for clean cloths Bd was extremely soft Room was noisy from guests outside who were drinking and smoking just below our room Fro t desk staff were very pleasant

Miriam Silver

Avoid this one Lovely lovely staff, truly, BUT dirty rooms Not upgraded Bugs in sink, leftover peoples dirt and wrappers on floor

Not vacuumed Likely not sanitized AND gave us key card but walked into someone else’s room during day when they were sleeping or whatever Not our room EGads It was dark People there Mistakes, yes, but all told, extremely difficult experience Borrowed sheets and blankets from local friend, afraid of whatever in the room Sheesh Not confident on Best Western Really didn’t want to give any stars Dark dirty drab old rooms

What an incredibly enjoyable wedding experience! Gillian Zehr was a DREAM to work with as well as the entire staff of the Historic Mankin Mansion As a wedding entertainment company we experience many venues with “day of” planning, but HMM is the real deal! From vendor to vendor, we appreciate you and encourage any wedding couple considering HMM to just book already!

Emily Bell

Getting married at Mankin Mansion was the best choice I made in the entire wedding planning process The space is beautiful, the planning team is incredible, and they made our day run so perfectlyWe picked Mankin because we wanted an all in one experience, to make our lives easier, and to make it easy for our guests, and they delivered

From the first meeting to our grand exit, as a bride, I knew the entire time that our special day was in great handsFirst of all, Mankin Mansion is simply beautiful The grounds are amazing, and beautiful year round And they fully customized our ceremony and reception in the gallery and tent to make it really come together And the BRIDAL SUITE is to die for Having a beautiful private space to get ready with my mom and bridesmaids made me feel like a queen Pictures do not do this venue justiceSecond, the planning team is unmatched Leah is outstanding She made it all come together perfectly She kept me on track with planning, coordinated between all of the vendors to make sure everyone knew just what to do, She made me feel like I was the only wedding she was planning the entire time! And on the day of the wedding, she seamlessly maintained the flow of the day She even bustled my dress for me outside in 20 degree weather I wish I had a Leah for real lifePlus, having the music team available through the venue was so great because it was just one less thing to worry about All the equipment is there, and they are fully involved in the ceremony and reception planning, so there was no hiccups or confusionThere just aren’t enough words to describe how happy I am with how perfect our wedding turned out and it is all thanks to the team at HMM They made sure every detail was handled and made it so that my husband and I were fully present with our friends and family on the happiest days of our livesI cannot say enough amazing things about the beautiful venue, but it’s really the team that makes Mankin so special They are MORE than impressive They are the ne plus ultra of the wedding industry They are like family to my husband and I I am so thankful for all that they did and the amazing memories I will get to cherish forever as a result of their hard work

Stayed here for 4 nights last weekend of June ’22 for a lacrosse tournament and a trip to Kings Dominion I can’t say enough about the front desk staff, super friendly and helpful The room/bathroom was clean and I would say updated, but I don’t know when it was built

So I will just say it was up to date It had a wall mounted 50 inch tv and the bathroom mirror was a nice touch Also, the location is great It’s close to everything you need because you forgot something, from sporting goods, grocery stores, restaurants and a very nice outdoor mall

Mark Stottlemyer

The only reason I am giving this hotel a two star review is because of the location, other than that it was an actual nightmare To start off our stay here, my family and I got stuck in the elevator with our friends When the elevator finally situated itself and let us out, a woman standing on the floor told us that it has gotten stuck multiple times that day

With that knowledge we went down to talk to the staff at the front door who did nothing about it No closing the elevator or telling guests that the elevator may trap you for a while Saturday afternoon we asked the front desk for towels for the pool We were told there was towels out there already, funny enough there was no towels (of course) So we go back in and ask for more and after having eyes rolled at us someone was sent out with hand towels for the pool My friend was swimming in the pool after all that and got a shard of metal stuck into his toe and the light for the pool came out of the wall and was floating next to the wall Let’s just say that was the end of our time in the pool This experience has made us rethink ever staying in a Holiday Inn again

Jessica Nelson

At this location: Front desk staff when I arrived was great Breakfast is the best of all the chains especially for vegetarians Love the pancake machine

The rooms look pretty new, nicely maintained Love the KeurigIHG: The only thing missing to make this my favorite and the superior chain is access to streaming programs from the TV like Netflix or Amazon
