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.
Lovely exterior where Eric will greet you and welcome you in.

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.

Not a good stay. The facilities are old and the staff, while pleasant, is not attentive. Our room was not cleaned despite leaving in time, and when we returned, we were given some towels. No offer to clean.

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.
