I had a great stay at the hotel! The rooms were very comfortable, and it was so convenient for my daughter who lives in Richmond to come over and stay with me. The room was huge, and I loved that the sink had a separate door to the toilet and tub, making it easy for multiple people to get ready. On the downside, there was no refrigerator in the room, which would have been nice.
