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.

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. Everyone was exceptionally kind, from the valet to the cook. The food was delicious; I particularly savored the shrimp and grits, and the chicken wings were simply irresistible. I also had a classic coffee martini and an old-fashioned, both of which were expertly prepared. The bartender was outstanding, and the front desk staff were both friendly and professional. The valet service was impeccable, providing helpful information to enhance my stay. I am very much looking forward to returning.

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.

We reserved a suite and expected more from a 4-star hotel. Two small windows and a pretty awkward room. We saw the room across the hall and it was much nicer, and probably the same rate. Unfortunate. Other than that, the service and people are nice. The location was good as well.

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.
