I love this place and it’s actually home to me when I’m in Virginia visiting family which is quite often The rest of the year I live in Colombia South America For the price I don’t think you can beat it

Staff is great and place is clean Beds are very comfortable and I love the coffee maker and shower I believe it’s one of the best deals in Richmond and I’ll keep coming here as long as they don’t raise the prices

This review is more for the customer service than the stay or facilities I left a nice pair of nice sunglasses and didn’t realize it until 3 weeks after my stay I thought I had just lost them, but didn’t know where

I called, a rep asked me to describe the lost sunglasses, confirmed they were in the lost and found, and offered to have them shipped to me I paid the postage, emailed them the label, and got my shades back a few days later Thank you!!The hotel was nice place to spend a few days while my son had a swim meet in the area Please staff, decent breakfast early in the morning, and nice desk area in the room that made it easy to do some zoom meetings

I wish I could leave ten stars! This location is fantastic- ample parking, extremely clean, beautiful interior and best of all above-and-beyond staff like Merry Roseme Everyone we interacted with was wonderful, but she really made sure we were happy and enjoyed our stay at the hotel We will only stay at this hotel from now on when in Richmond (which is often)

Oh, the round-the-clock coffee and great breakfast spread in the morning were also much appreciated!

Allison Xanthopoulos

Great location, walkable to restaurants and stores Super cute, updated but kitschy feel to this old building The decor is super cute

Fun bar area, and the rooftop pool is perfect for lounging although you may need to fight someone for an actual lounge chair! Also I wish the walkway between the pool and rooftop car was actually usable but it was locked Rooms are cute, bathroom is absolutely tiny, as in, only one person can even fit at a time but also cute

Takiyah Brown

We checked into Graduate Richmond on 8/4/22 to attend a Conference Upon checking in and arriving to the room, we knew it was not going to be the greatest experience The carpet was filthy, the shower curtain had stains and the room just looked old and dated

We cleaned the room ourselves because it appears as if housekeeping was lacking All of the furniture in the room was completely dated and it was just dusty The building appeared completely dated We figured we would be there for only 3 nights, so we attempted to make the best of it Our party had headaches after the first nights stay which leads us to 8/5/22 Our party had headaches all day long When we returned to our room the night of 8/5/22, our carpet was completely wet We all woke up again on 8/6/22 with headaches and it was just unbearable the night of 8/7/22, so we called the front desk to inform Nicole that someone in our party was really sick and we needed to check out a day early Nicole’s response was that we would still be responsible for the cost of the stay No offer to solve the issue, switch rooms or anything So we loaded up and went downstairs to check out I asked Nicole if there was an issue with mold in the hotel and she then stated that she would send an engineer up to our room to inspect It was only after I mentioned mold, Nicole mentioned possibly finding a replacement room disregarding a person in our party was really sick Nicole mentioned that someone would be in touch? Please be mindful of some of these issues mentioned before booking here The hotel hallways are not clean, the carpet is in need of replacement and it smells bad As of this time, no resolve

Hannah Peters

I booked this hotel during the $30 deal and I definitely would not go at the normal prices When we arrived, it took about 30 minutes to get checked in We had to wait for the desk attendant to find a room

The room looked nice when we came in but we soon found there was no way to adjust the thermostat on the wall and the one under the window sill didn’t work well at all There were beads like from a kids necklace and sequins all over the carpet as well as a discarded sock It seemed like it hadn’t been vacuumed The beds were nice and comfyWe also had only three towels and no hand towels or washcloths in a room with two queen beds The soaps on the shower wall, one was missing a spout and was moldy insideWe went up to the pool which was fairly small and a guest was cleaning it out with the net because it was so dirty There were also no chairs! There was one lounge chair and two tables All of which were taken (some of which occupied by employees) There was plenty of space for more chairs there just weren’t any A kid ended up offering us his chair and some people who came after ended up just laying towels on the groundThe game room was fun but most of the games were broken or missing pieces If we had payed any more than we had, I would’ve been mad

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

I expect better for $158+ a night I’m grateful they accept pets However I wasn’t expecting sheets with stab wounds, marked and scuffed walls and fixture and the shampoo/conditioner/body wash receptacle to be unglued from the wall — and almost completely empty

Thankfully I had my own stuff that I was able to access quickly vs shutting off the shower and dressing to go to lobby to get supplies This is what I’d expect for a $70 a night facility There was no breakfast either – which I knew going in, but it just seemed even more sad knowing I’d paid for a room that didn’t live up to my hopes That being said, I’m still eternally grateful they accept dogs

leah washington

It was a very nice hotel Well kept and clean Very inviting

The only thing I found uncomfortable, unprofessional and extremely distasteful was the breakfast staff The lady who was in charge of refilling the food hovered over the food and watched everything you picked up It was so uncomfortable It was borderline harassment This never happens at the Hilton Marriott you need to train your staff better

Dee Smith

Staff was great The sheets on the bed were wore out They were fitted and would not stay on the mattress

Mattress also was worn out and dipped Bedding was awful for over $200 A night The rim at bottom of shower door that keeps wayer from running out of shower was filthy I took my finger to see if it would come off and it would It was black They need to up the par on Linens and trash some and deep clean shower doors

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

This hotel was the worst hotel we’ve stayed at We arrived and decided to take both of our toddlers to the pool Walking into the pool area we noticed rubbery mats around the pool to help with slipping

We thought it was great We also noticed a slippery when wet sign out Which is great but our toddlers are too young to read We decided to go into the cloudy pool that had particles of something at the bottom My toddler had to use the bathroom She was walking safely holding my hand to leave when she slipped on the tile and fell hitting her head hard on the floor There was nothing I could have done to stop her from falling due to the type of tile they have It is totally unsafe in that pool area and something needs to be done other than a slippery when wet sign put out We told the front desk and they said they would let the general supervisor know but nothing was done for us or were we asked how she was It could have been way worse but thankfully it wasn’t I do have to say when we went to the complimentary breakfast the next day the two women who were serving the breakfast were so kind and helpful The nicest staff they have

Anne Matrone

Great spot for travelers staying overnight! The room was very clean and larger than expected The staff at the front desk and food court were all friendly and helpful There were many choices for the free breakfast, cold cereals, hard boiled eggs, fruit and yogurts as well as hot food choices like premade omelets, sausage links, oatmeal, and waffle makers

The coffee was also hot, fresh, and abundant We didn’t check out the pool area so I can’t comment on that Will definitely return if travelling through Virginia again, it’s not far off the main highways

Extremely disappointed I had a two-day reservation starting yesterday for a wedding A family emergency came up and I knew I would be unable to arrive yesterday

I called the hotel yesterday explain the situation and told them I would be happy to pay for both days to ensure that they not cancel my reservation and that I be able to use the second day I said the most important thing was that they not cancel my reservation, and I was willing to pay since it was a late change The manager I spoke to made an offer to waive the cost of the first day, and ensure that my second day was held for me Arrived to check in today and discovered that they had canceled my entire reservation And that they had charged me for the first day I had been willing to pay for the first day, but it was a big disappointment that after they made an offer I did not request they chose not to follow through on it And the manager claimed she had told me that I needed to call back today, rather than simply showing up and checking in as I tried to do She never asked me to do this I’ve been hilton honors member for more than 20 years, and have had many good experiences with the Hampton inn& suites Which makes me even more disappointed They seemed initially unsure whether there would be another room available and by the time they figured that out I had decided I should move to a different hotel down the street

My stay was excellent Very comfortable bed and pillows, clean, quiet, and overall just super nice Stefan at the front desk was awesome and the staff was amazing

I was on a road trip north and I left my gourmet spices that I purchased along my trip in the fridge and by the time I realized I was too far ahead to turn back I called and explained and they will keep them safe for me until I return next time, which will be in a couple of weeks! I will definitely be staying there again, not just because I forgot something but because it was a great place to stay! Thank you Stefan and the rest of the staff for making my stay great and keeping such a nice hotel!

R Thomas

If I work another assignment in Richmond I’ll stay at this hotel again I have no complaints The price was very affordable for my two month stay

The front desk ladies had great customer serviceI loved that laundry was free The gym is small but had plenty of equipment to get a good workoutThe rooms are updated I loved that the hotel room didn’t have carpet The rooms have a full kitchen with dishes The entire hotel is very clean and maintenance seem to stay up to dateThe hotel is located in a good area with stores and restaurants close by

Sol

I booked a two week extended stay with CandlewoodIt was an exceedingly disappointing experience The hotel bills itself consistently as a business hotel, yet it was incredibly hard to conduct business here

The staff was inconsistent with service and information I found it hard to conduct meetings during business hours; the clientele is very disruptive and the hotel cleaning staff are very loud in the halls On several occasions I had to switch the audio of my video calls to avoid interference from their screaming and shouting in the hallwaysRooms are clean but hallways and all common areas are exceedingly dirty Again, this is not a business hotel; more like a motel level of guest, staff and service and clienteleThe wifi is incredibly weak and you are subjected to multiple connection issues when attempting to use it I finished the remainder of my stay in Richmond at an alternative businessAvoid this place

Started out my stay and was planning on staying 2 nights I got the queen studio room and was immediately blow away size of the room in general and by the full sized appliances in the kitchen and sofa size The kitchens are stocked with pots and pans all the dishes you would need also

And having an ice maker in a hotel room is so much better then having to have a bucket and going to search for the ice machine I love that the TV swivels between the bedroom area and living room area I am VERY picky when it comes to beds and have a really hard time sleeping in most beds These beds are also incredibly comfortable and the pillows are very good as well I ended up extended my stay several more days as the reason I needed the room was also extended The hotel staff was absolutely amazing and kind and incredibly attentive The complimentary breakfast isn’t just some prepackaged pastries There’s fresh fruit, yogurts, a couple waffle makers and 3 different choices of hot items (which varies day to day so you have different choices if you’re staying a few days) The pool area is very nice qnd my kids really enjoyed a lazy Sunday playing in the pool Hands down one of the nicer hotel rooms I’ve stayed in Even told my daughters if it was just me this studio “apartment” space would be perfect for just me Will definitely be coming back when I need a room again

john kwak

It could use an update, but otherwise it’s a great dog-friendly hotel that’s convenient to 64 as well as being near a TON of shopping and restaurants The staff were friendly and very professional, plus they made sure to acknowledge our kids (and our 3-year old absolutely loved it!) Unfortunately, it is a little dingy, so I can’t give it 5-stars, but if/when it gets updated, it’s a 5-star for sure!

Traci Hastings

I wish I could give this hotel zero stars I booked a stay here with my 8 month old I called ahead asking for a pack n play and a customer service rep confirmed they had one reserved for me and I even had it in writing

When I arrived to check in at the end of a long travel day and right before bedtime, the front desk associate told me that they didn’t have any pack n plays available I explained that I called ahead She left for a few minutes and came back to tell me that her manager said they only have one and it’s broken Apparently someone was supposed to tell me and they “forgot” They offered nothing more than a half hearted apology The manager didn’t even come out to speak with me I ended up having to switch hotels so I had somewhere safe for my son to sleep As a loyal Marriott customer, I am beyond frustrated that an extended stay hotel option had no sleep options for children and no courtesy to address that problem

Highly recommend to stay in this beautiful old house with huge garden and enjoy the relaxing atmosphere here The room and bed were cozy and comfortable and the homemade breakfast alone was worth the trip! The host was so warm and welcoming and has a lot of great tips for trips in the area and beyond We even got delicious homemade carrot cake for our journey home

Absolutely loved it here and hope to be back for longer next time!

Anna Hebb

We wanted a quick get-a-way to have some fun and laugh! My husband and I selected Virginia Cliffe Inn We went to James River Cellars for dinner and a great band! We danced, enjoyed a food truck, and headed back to our lovely room The bed was comfortable and the decor charming and so cozy

We had some questions come up and Judy was responsive and quick to help Pat, the chef, cooked a breakfast that was savory and delicious We also were able to talk to Pat and enjoyed her company The grounds are beautiful and well kept Little things like clean room, temperature, and “smell”–it smelled cleaned and well kept–were important to us We also had access to the kitchen which was nice for little things we needed We will be back!

Shannon Hepp

My sister had her wedding here It was a beautiful venue with lots of places for pictures! The coordinator wasn’t super helpful until right before the wedding, but our family pulled it all together We also made all the centerpieces, flowers, and other decorations

Also as a note for future brides and bridesmaids, the bridal cottage is quite small I wouldn’t recommend more than about 7 members of the bridal party in there during hair and makeup And keep the limited space in mind when you bring in your things/plan what kinds of foods or activities you want to do as you’re getting ready The groomsmen didn’t have this problem and said they had much more space in their quarters

This hotel was close to where we were visiting That was probably the best thing about staying here It wasn’t very clean and smelled moldy

It’s extremely outdated and for the price, you would think it would be more modern The worst thing of all is that I woke up to ants crawling on me and all over the nightstand where I had a few items (there was also a huge spider as well) I will admit the staff was very accommodating and responsive to my request to change rooms, however, by the time I was over it The new room also had a door handle that was upside down so we couldn’t get into that room as we didn’t know it was that way until the front desk attendant came to help After that, I really couldn’t rest and we had one more night to stay There was also no communication about our incident although we were told they would adjust our total I had to do that the day we checked out Oh and I almost forgot about the front desk manager that had an attitude, I even asked if she was okay as she acted like she had an attitude the whole time she was checking in me and my family (we had a rooms) Overall I would NEVER stay here again I wasn’t expecting the Ritz Carlton, but for the price we paid it was NOT worth it at all I gave it to stars only because of the quick response from the guy working on 5/21/22 to change our room Otherwise it would have been -3 stars

Patricia Nicholson

The location was very convenient, the staff was amazing, the place was so clean you could smell the cleanliness, the room was large and exactly what we wanted and breakfast was an added bonus every dayKiera was in housekeeping and went above and beyond to make our stay perfectI am in the service industry and would love to have someone like her work for me

The front desk staff made it very easy to check in andevery day they entire staff smiled and greeted us They did not miss a beat on excellent service

I love this hotel! My stay was very luxurious, clean and every amenity was available for use The room itself was decorated very well and very functional for working and relaxing I love that there’s an indoor pool and jacuzzi and access to a washer/dryer to wash my clothes during my visit

I was able to use the computer to print with great ease Hot breakfast was available, but my only suggestion to offer other meat options other the pork and having a small amount of vegan cheese available upon request I was very limited to what I could eat to ensure a hearty meal because the main options were pork

Stayed for the weekend, Friday night to Sunday Greeted with a smile and staff was very helpful Was allowed to change rooms upon arrival then previously booked (2 beds not available when booked)

Enjoyed the breakfast but beware coffee was very hot Hotel was clean and comfortable, worth the money Blankets on bed were a little light, if your cold natured I recommend bringing a blanket My friend and I did not get to enjoy the pool or hot tub due to hours Wish it was open a little later, maybe 10p to 11p for Adults only It would be nice to relax in hot tub after spending the day exploring And pool/hot tub were closed on Sunday which was a bummer because we wanted to use hot tub before checking out since check out is 12 pm (which was great) It’s near many local restaurants and bars so we loved its convenient location Definitely would recommend

We stayed here 4/4-4/5 2022 I would recommend this place to to anyone that would love to kick back and relax go for a swim or maybe use the hot tub The room was big with everything you could ask for Was trying to hook up Xbox for the kids and they sent maintenance right up and he took care of it

Great job Breakfast was great and place was clean Great job to All of you that make this happen keep up the great work We will be back

I asked about breakfast and she said it wasn’t complimentary, you had to pay to order One of my favorite things about going to a hotel, is the free breakfast before starting my day Te hotel is in a great location

We checked in and walked next door to have dinner at Red Robin There was also a dollar tree next door We walked to the movie theater just to get a tub of popcorn and return to hotel for movie night The kids enjoyed the pool and the jacuzzi There were shampoo and conditioner in the shower which was a plus I would stay here again

I dont give 5 star reviews They must be earned This Courtyard by Marriott earned it

Every member of the staff that we interacted with was professional, friendly and very courteousThe room was very clean The bathroom was clean The bed was clean and very comfortable so that I felt like I was sleeping on a cloud and woke very well restedThe rates were very affordable Check in and check out was easy The young lady that checked us in went out of her way to be helpful but I failed to get her nameI highly recommend this Courtyard to all travelers

Hotel is outdated Rooms are old Wallpaper peeling off the walls

Rusty sprinkler head falling off the ceiling No hot water in the shower I told the GM about it Nice guy, but he seemed to be surprised It’s interesting to see that other people posted about the same issue though This hotel is not up to the typical Marriott standards in my opinion I’ll stay somewhere else next time

Best hotel I’ve stayed in My wife and I could not have been happier Quiet rooms, well equipped, outstanding staff – everyone we met was super friendly, including the maintenance staff! Great breakfast, and the hotel offers a free dinner experience as well as drinks

The entire atmosphere made our stay so enjoyable We shall return!

Teresa Gunter

Exceptionally pleasant check-in with a personable young man who I can only identify as a student at Liberty UniversityFull disclosure: I was more than taken aback and worried about the safety of our vehicle and a quiet night due to people hanging around at the back entrance drinking and smoking the intoxicating stuff and who repeatedly yelled at us until we acknowledged themOnce inside, the din of children at a pool party also had me worried because sometimes those parties continue late into the night in guest rooms

Not to worry Our hall was quiet Our room was quiet and restful Most important—the room and linens were sparkling clean!! We slept well and enjoyed a hearty breakfast included with our room When I requested a late check out, the staffer was more than agreeable

I got married here 4 years ago today and when I say it was the most wonderful experience of my life I’m not exaggerating The staff was absolutely amazing and there isn’t one detail about my wedding or reception that I would change I relive this day with my family and friends all the time and to this day I get compliments on my wedding the location how accommodating the staff was and how wonderful and clean the entire hotel was

Everyone I worked with there was extremely professional and friendly And the Fragrance the minute you walk in is amazing and it’s all over the hotel Most of my guest spent the night and enjoyed their stay My husband and I had such a marvelous experience that we went back for our first anniversary and plan to book again next year for our 5th wedding anniversary You will not be disappointed if you decide to stay a night, a weekend or make a lifetime memory! Thank you indefinitely to the Marriott Short Pump staff! I am forever grateful!

This was nastiest Marriott I have ever stayed inWhen we walked in the hotel room it was so hot the ac was on 60 in the room already set to that before we came in and it was so hot but I’m pretty sure the ac was broken in the entire building So walking into the room all the lights in there where extremely dull and dark could not get any bright light

The room smelled musty and unclean The couch in the room was tears and rips and stains all over it The towels where so old and gross that there seriously ripping in half it was like paper The wall paper was ripped and stained all over the room I felt like I was in a motel not a high end Marriott I would never ever stay here again Not up to the Marriott standards for a hotel More like a remodel that ran out of money If I did not check in at midnight I would have gone somewhere else but it was way to late and I was way to tired

Jeff Glancy

Terrible experience We had to change rooms because the bed was so bad in the first room Also we booked online with rewards points and they double charged us and also charged the card we put on file for incidentals for the nights we already paid for

We have called 10 different times and each time they acknowledged the double charge and told us we would be refunded It has now been 3 months and no refund We had to dispute the charge with our credit card company and have provided proof of the double charge and they are fighting the charge back This also happened to another couple in our group We feel like this hotel is committing fraud Do not stay here

Great stay Rooms always clean (as expected), Hilton brands have never let me downStaff very friendly & accommodating

Location great with shops & restaurants right outside the back door There is a fountain with pond and ducks-Will definitely be staying there againI might add they are a pet friendly location which I personally think is great for those traveling (I am an animal lover) They have a certain floor dedicated to pets so if you are concerned about staying in a “pet friendly room” you can always request another floor Absolutely all the animals I saw while there (3 days) were well behavedThey even allowed me to check in early (like early early) lol because I was fighting storms & tornadoes all the way in so I arrived earlier than normal trying to stay ahead of themLess than 10 minutes after I unloaded the truck the skies opened up I am truly appreciative of them going above and beyond to help me out

I am currently staying at this location Really nice facility and I usually don’t post negative comments but this is a location that business travelers should avoid So all went well during check in, I had a very nice dinner at the restaurant

Then I came to my room to clean up and get ready for bed As I completed “doing my business” in the lavatory, I went to reach for the toilet paper, There was none! I managed through the “awfulness” and called downstairs to the front desk I informed them there was no toilet paper in the bathroom The gentleman at the front desk said “there’s some for me at the front desk” I asked to clarify “you want me to come and get it” He replied “yes!” If you’re used to quality customer service avoid, at all cost, this location

love is

My stay was great there is something that I think needs to be addressed and that’s the accessibility of the hotel there is ample handicap parking spaces but I noticed there were times during my stay they were all occupied by cars that had NO indication of a pass or marked tag or window placardsAllowing those cars to remain there while guest that really need the spots was very disappointing and inconvenient There were two cars that never moved and after observing the leaves and other indicators of long term weathering collected on the two cars it was clear they had been parked there for so time, they were probably parked there and left that they weren’t even current guess if the hotel

Please monitor that situation to ensure that there is accessible parking available for those who really need it
