Poor Service and Fire Alarm Was set off at 2:30am
Check in process took very long. Fire Alarm went off at 2:30am on Thursday night until 3:30am. Front desk was run poorly. The employees were unprofessional. Other rooms were very loud as well after hours.

Too complicated shouldn’t need the key throughout the whole entire day to get on the elevator. That’s too much. I don’t see cameras by the elevator that’s not safe and the dinner and dining they should be able to deliver or room service for the amount of money that we’re paying it’s supposed to be upscale so I think you guys need to reevaluate kind of use my comment as a good thing please thank you but it would’ve been great to have a tub and some of those king-size bedrooms that’s more so of a luxury room versus just a family room and it would be great to have room service room service is a big big big thing. Also camera

Great hotel
This is probably our 4 or 5 time staying here, and it’s always a great experience. Rooms are large and comfy, bathrooms clean and solid water temp/pressure. We enjoy the rooftop bar and the staff are always very professional and helpful. Recommend to anyone visiting Richmond (and perfect location for VCU parents)

For the money, I was very disappointed for a Graduate hotel. $20 for a very small Manhattan and they did not take cash at bar. Over $30 to park for one night. Arrived at 4 pm and left at 6 am! Carpet on our floor was buckling up. Elevator had liquid spilled in it. Bathroom door was as scraping the floor. Really need to update the rooms. Staff was wonderful.

Arrived to find they had overbooked and we did not have a room. They did secure us a room at the nearby Hilton but overall it was handled very unprofessionally and very unapologetically. Front desk staff acted a little like they were doing us a favor by moving us to a new hotel.
