The bellman was incredible he was the highlight of our trip! He helped get our bags out the car and helped recommend amazing food and was just overall kind and helpful! The front desk staff was nice! The only downside was that we had no room service during our stay but other than that I would still book again and if we had the same staff outside that helped bring our bags in and give us more amazing recommendations I’ll be super happy.

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.

The suite was so very spacious and comfortable. The bed was VERY comfortable. There is a lot of street parking in the area on the weekend. The check in clerk (Trinity) was very friendly as was the doorman. It is nice to see the beautiful park/grounds of the State House upon exiting the building.

The staff was wonderful. The dead bolt didn't work on our room, one light in the bathroom flickered so we removed it for safety, and unfortunately we weren't able to use the dining area one of the nights we stayed. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our stay. We would stay there again if we needed to in the future.

This is a lovely old hotel in a great location. Staff was very helpful and professional. We had breakfast and dinner at the hotel, and both meals were very good. Front desk staff were exceptionally helpful. Only complaint was that our in-room AC was so loud that we had to turn it off to sleep. We mentioned it to the desk staff at checkout. Overall, we had a good experience here.
