It was a lovely hotel. The room was generously sized. It was clean and the staff was courteous and helpful. The restaurant was excellent for breakfast. The only thing that could be a concern for some guests is that noisy heating/air conditioning in room. It didn’t bother me but some guests might find it annoying. I strongly recommend this hotel.

From the moment we arrived, even before stepping inside, we felt genuinely welcomed. The valet team was outstanding—especially the gentleman managing the area. He greeted us warmly, unloaded all of our luggage, brought it to our room, and even took the time to hang up our dresses. Check-in was smooth and effortless. The lobby was absolutely beautiful and set the tone for the rest of our stay. When we entered our room, we were amazed by how gorgeous, comfortable, and spotless it was—truly one of the cleanest hotel rooms I’ve ever stayed in. That evening, we had a concert to attend, and once again, the valet service went above and beyond. Our vehicle was ready, doors were opened for us, and they even offered ponchos because of the rain—a thoughtful touch. When we returned around 11 p.m., we received the same level of service. We all slept wonderfully; the beds were extremely comfortable. The next morning, we ordered room service, and breakfast was excellent—the food was delicious, and the fruit was incredibly fresh. Check-out was just as easy as check-in. Our vehicle was ready, and we were quickly on our way. This was without a doubt the best hotel experience we’ve ever had. We felt safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. We will absolutely be back

Unique property, room was big and so was the bathroom. It was clean. The hotel staff was somewhat friendly (valet was excellent), the hotel itself needs some renovations. Like a lot of places in Richmond, you never know what you're going to get.

Really cool vibe in this hotel. We weren’t able to check in early, but the Luggage Storage option was very much appreciated. The room was clean & comfy, but the AC was a bit noisy and there was a clanking sound outside the room all night.

The room was clean, quiet, comfortable, and simple. The front desk was kind and helpful. I didn’t realize I was required to use the valet and the fee of $37 each day. It was hard to find good places to eat nearby. It was rather pricey for the experience.

Good Hotel, Bad Valet

This is our second stay at The Commonwealth as a family. We stay here because it has proximity to the Richmond Convention Hall and the suites are large and comfortable for a family of 5. The hotel is clean and pleasant. The bed is comfortable. The suites have a microwave and fridge. The only downside is the staff. We used valet (the only option) and had to wait an hour for our car. Once I realized how late the car was, my kids and I walked to the Convention leaving my husband to wait. We missed our first session. I asked for that day's valet (about $35) to be comped and I got a runaround about needing to speak with the GM who was not there.
