    This place was pretty dirty and the room had broken furniture. Our AC system was also extremely loud and the windows were looking out onto like a generator so we couldnt even open the window curtains to let in more light. Not worth the money.

    The Commonwealth is such a gem. The staff is always so friendly. It is in a great location; there are several restaurants within 5, 10, 20 minute walking distance. The hotel is about 1/2 mile from the new Allianz Amphitheater. It was a very easy walk to and from the amphitheater. It also a very easy drive to Carytown or the VMFA; you can also walk to Carytown or the VMFA depending on how much walking you enjoy. We had a king suite, and it was so spacious and comfortable; the bed was comfortable, although the pillows were a bit too soft for me. I wish the windows had an overhang so the sun/brightness would be a bit more contained; there were blackout curtains, but because there was not window overhang, the sun brightened the room. I like everything about this hotel.

    The gentleman at check-in and check-out was very polite and helpful. The rooms could use some updating electronically -- more charge points for phones, airpods, etc. would be useful. Would not recommend for a business traveler until they update that aspect, but for a vacation traveler, it was find.

    Location is superb, right in front of the State Capitol. Also restaurant/breakfast downstairs is really good. Delicious food and great service. Hotel is a renovated historical building, but some parts are not well kept and not very clean (windows have spider webs on the outside and carpets look very dirty in the rooms). Beds and showers are well kept and clean so it was alright.

    Location The room is dusty, the windows are dirty, one of the mattress is dented, the towels on the rack are dusty, the coffee machine isn’t working, no real cup but paper cup. AC too noisy. If turned off, room became stuffy. Carpet too old, bathroom door can’t lock, bathtub slippery, after one night sleep, I had backache and stuffed throat. Your toilet is also not flushing well, the wash basin doesn’t drain well…. In one note, I don’t see the room has been maintained.

    We had a very poor experience at this hotel. Just a one night stay to visit my kids who live in Richmond. The first room had a mechanical issue with an aircon unit in the bedroom that's not pushing good air but making a terrible compressor sound... Couldn't be turned off and so chang d rooms at 4am. The second room, as we entered the room after 4am, had both aircon unit running full blast, very cold. Attempted to adjust thermostat but aircon unit in bedroom would not shut down. Managed to unplug it. Finally, a quiet room that's cold but acceptable. Would not stay here ever again.

    Great location, friendly staff, and spacious rooms. My stay was only marred by the very noisy family next door -- and the fact that I could hear the kids arguing late at night through the shared wall. Not really the Commonwealth's fault but the one reason I gave 4 rather than 5 stars. (I could also hear the elevator dinging outside my door.)

Very comfy bed and super quiet. We were in town for a show at the National which was in walking distance so we didn’t eat at the restaurant (we didn’t get back in time; it had closed) but the bar was very nice and the bartender can make anything you want! Beautiful, old, historic hotel. Would stay again.

    The bathroom floor was dirty w/ black spots on the tile. Towels were not white, but a greyish color probably due to poor wash water. Plumbing fixtures were loose from the wall. No hand soap in the bathroom requested by phone to front desk but never brought. The bedroom TV did not work. Overall, the room looked dingy and needs a complete makeover.

    Spacious rooms, very clean, modern bathroom, and unbeatable location. The staff are warm and welcoming. The shower takes an extraordinarily long time to change temperature; I turned the knob up because the water remained cold, then several minutes later the water became scalding hot and once again it took a long time to change temperature after adjusting the knob. Also, the morning front desk staff could be faster at checkout.

    The hotel was close to the VCU Massey Cancer Center. This is an old run down hotel that was probably a great place 40-50 years ago. Unfortunately, they still bill themselves and price themselves as a cut above when they most certainly are not.

    Amenities are another highlight. The property delivers on the basics that actually matter—reliable comfort, solid in-room features, and a generally well-maintained environment that feels clean and upscale. It’s the kind of place where you can show up, unpack, and immediately feel taken care of. Location is where it really shines. It’s extremely walkable, making it easy to get to restaurants, cafes, and downtown attractions without needing to fuss with parking or rideshares. If you like exploring a city on foot, this is an ideal home base. Service is mostly good, with one caveat: it can be slow at times, especially during busier moments. That said, staff are generally responsive once you connect with them, and they’re helpful and professional when you need something. Overall, it’s an enjoyable, comfortable stay in a prime Richmond location—and one I’d be happy to recommend, especially for anyone who values walkability and a higher-comfort hotel experience.

Check-in is after 3:30 so I’m unsure as to why the room was not ready. The only thing they could offer me to take off of my bill was breakfast and I was there for a tournament so there was no way I could actually eat the breakfast. The manager was really nice, but I just didn’t feel like there was any reason why our room shouldn’t be ready that late in the day.

    There were however a number of things that were disappointing. The first night our shower did not drain properly, so we were given a different room. In that room the toilet consistently had trouble flushing, the safe would not work/turn on, and eventually that shower also would not drain either. The hotel ran out of Keurig regular coffee (we were restocked with decaf options), and simultaneously we were told the drip coffee maker was not working in the restaurant. We had to buy coffee at a nearby convenience store. When we went to use the lobby bathrooms, we found they also had the unfortunate flushing problems. And whenever we entered the lobby we were not greeted by the staff at the front desk although we were frequently the only ones around.

They had a hard time starting it, because the wheel was locked. Instead of turning it off completely to let me know, they left the car in accessory mode basically causing my battery to drain. I just went and started it myself after a few tries and it struggled because the battery was draining. The valet staff need better training and learn better car care.

    The floors of the lobby and our floor (4th) were discussing. Dirt marks everywhere. As per the bedroom, out of a half empty hotel, the receptionist had no better room but to place us facing inward directly to the cooling tower and the main plumbing. Having the most important landmark right in front of the hotel, feels insulting that we were given this room. At last the staff behaved and acted as if they were at home. Hanging in the lobby on their phones and not paying attention to serving the guest. Really and overall disappointment.

I went down to request another room for safety reason and he was able to just move me to another room on the same floor. Room was bigger but was dirty. Hair in tub on sink and walls. Trash on floor. Sticky table. Because of the extensive travel I did and the request to love once I just stayed. Used the blankets from the closet and went to sleep. Heating/Air was loud but bed was comfortable so sleep it was. But I won’t be returning to this hotel despite to accommodating staff.

Heating/Air was loud but bed was comfortable so sleep it was. But I won’t be returning to this hotel despite to accommodating staff.

    This place is in DESPERATE need of a refurbishment. The window was fogged and dry rotted from the AC unit. The room smelt weird and was dark and frankly depressing. The window looked directly into another building (and we weren’t on a low floor). The elevator was laughably small. I’ve honestly never seen elevators that small even in NYC. The area around the hotel felt very sketchy and unsafe and the night staff weren’t confidence inspiring either. The park across the street was nice but idk maybe Richmond in general is a pass unless you’re there for work.

    This is a hotel with character. Gracious building. The staff were friendly, the room was super spacious and very comfortable. Convenient to walk to historic sites, canal walk and fun restaurants. I only had a few minor issues with the bathroom lacking a hair dryer and bath mat (got the hair dryer after two requests) and a smoke detector that needed a new battery.

    For the most this place was great, the valet was friendly helpful and welcoming. Some of the front desk were too. The room large and modern and had a safe and valet. Sadly for the one day I was there, my room was not made and the towels not replaced. As Id been out all day I only found out after a night on the town. I discussed this with front desk on checkout and they were respectful re the situation and mentioned to followup on this. Im happy to give it the benefit that it was an oversight as the front desk were very apologetic and surprised. Overall this was a blip on a great place that tbh I would come back to next time Im in Richmond.

    The suite was very large but sparsely appointed and had only two small windows. Bathroom again was huge but no tub, very minimally appointed. There was a coffee maker but no coffee cups. I tried to get a quick coffee to go downstairs at the bar, and the lady behind the counter told me she was busy and if I was in a hurry I could walk down the street and find a cafe. There does not appear to be room service or the other sorts of amenities that one would expect in a business hotel.

    Our experience at The Commonwealth was top notch from the moment we pulled up to the valet parking area. We were immediately greeted by Eric, who asked direct questions to establish what we would need. Eric would prove to be the absolute best resource that any hotel guest could ever have. He cared for not only our vehicle, but made sure we had all the information we needed to make the most of our visit to Richmond. Every time we saw him over the course of our stay, he was asking how he could help. He was a great ambassador for the Commonwealth and for the city itself. I didn’t get the name of the young man who checked us in, but he was equally friendly, efficient and welcoming. The hotel itself is gorgeous with tons of historical charm. I prefer to avoid “cookie cutter” hotels and the Commonwealth is in a league of its own. We enjoyed the custom murals throughout and the paintings featured on the room doors had such a whimsical feel. We were tired from driving, so we chose to eat at the Rueger’s restaurant adjacent to the lobby. The food was good and our server, Maria, was engaging and made some delicious cocktails featuring local moonshine from Belle Isle Distillery. We enjoyed talking to her while having our dinner both nights of our stay. Our suite was not large, but it overflowed with style and character. Everything was in good working order and we were able to relax. The linens were clean and comfortable. The bed was firm and we had no problems drifting off to sleep.

  • Julie Oct 2025 · via hotels.com

    The hotel is super convenient, reasonably priced for the location, but the staff is what really helps it shine. The gentleman who appeared to be the night manager/supervising the front desk (Al) in particular was an absolute model of great hospitality -- I tend to run late, but he not only remembered me from a previous stay and knew not to cancel it but was also so nice it allayed any guilt I had. And while the room was gorgeous, the bed (maybe with a featherbed topper?) is my favorite part -- it's up there with like the Westin heavenly bed in terms of a top notch sleep experience.

    The Commonwealth has an unbeatable location in downtown Richmond — you can walk to the Capitol, great restaurants, and plenty of sights. Check-in was smooth and staff were friendly, but outside of that they often seemed disengaged, spending time on their phones instead of checking on guests. Rooms are clean and comfortable, and the hotel itself has plenty of character. With more consistent attentiveness, it would be an excellent stay.

    Anyone with sensitivity to mold - do not stay here. There were tons of very large spores that appeared to be mold growth on all of the windows. Even if it wasn’t harmful, it is very uncomfortable to stay in a room with that appearance. It looked disgusting. Also the shower floors are made out of a plastic material and are porous They have become dingy and dirty looking. The once white towels have been reused so much they look gray. The guy who checked us in was very polite and attentive. The guy at the desk in the morning, just stared at us and didn’t even say good morning after we spoke to him first. If you choose to stay here, please be safe.

    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.

    Came in just to sleep for the night after driving for 15 hours the front desk lady was nice. In the am I walked into the bar area and the lady working looked at me like I was homeless and immediately asked if was going to eat.

    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.

    Hotel lobby is not exactly what you see in the pictures, it’s very small, the elevators can only fit two individuals or one person with two pieces of luggage, we stayed in Room 502, lot of space but not maintained, beds are fine the bathroom is okay, shower curtain and tub, hotel good for one night not recommended for extended stay.

    The shower was clogging so we were unable to shower. We attempted to get help or money back and we were told sorry and no refunds.

    The service at the restaurant is a joke. Delivered my main meal at the same time as my salad and then waited 10 minutes for my cocktail. Never again.
