The Commonwealth

The bed was extremely comfortable. I'm gonna get one of those mattresses! I booked at the last minute for just an overnight stay. A room was available when I got there and it was clean. I was able to walk just a few blocks to a great restaurant. I felt safe walking at night. Staff was friendly, but didn't really know the neighborhood. Being at such a central location, I expected more foot traffic and hustle and bustle, but it was really quiet.

We loved the room size, location of the hotel and comfortable beds.

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We booked two Roomy Queen suites and they were so perfect for a larger group. We loved having the living room area as an additional space to hang out and get ready.

We stayed at The Commonwealth for 2 nights in August, 2023. We drove and used their valet parking for our car. The valets were very nice and accommodating. The location of the hotel is really cool because it is so close to the main green square in Richmond near the governors mansion and the Virginia State Capitol. The location is also nice because where you drive to check in or get the valet is off the Main Street with no traffic and annoyances. The lobby is small but since the building is so old I'm sure it seems small by today's standards. The check in was easy and nice. The elevators are also very small as if they are still the ones from the 1920's. I thought it was cool. All of the rooms have an art theme and are cleverly named. We had a two queen room and it was HUGE. The room off the main door is like a small living room with a huge long desk and a big TV, couch and chairs. In a completely separate room are the two beds and another big TV. Bathroom was nice but probably the only area that might need a little improvement. The tile in our tub had cracked and it looked like a hair (which is never good to see). It ended up being a crack in the tub. We didnt eat at the restaurant but it looked quaint. One thing the hotel might do better is to provide a little more information about when the restaurant is open. I was never quite sure even if breakfast was included in our rate or not. Anyway, overall it was a good stay. If the hotel could add some type of larger pantry for late night snacks without going out that would be nice. The current "Pantry" doesn't give off the vibe of a 4 star hotel. The cleanliness was good. Keep up the good work.

The staff were super friendly and welcoming. The room was gorgeous. Comfortable bed. Loved the shower and the products. The restaurant was delicious! Maria was wonderful. Appreciated the decaf coffee option. We didn’t bring our dog, but I love that it’s pet friendly!
