    Love this hotel!! We stay anytime we’re in Richmond and it’s across from the Capitol building with a beautiful park.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    I loved this historic hotel and the location couldn’t be beat. The queen suite I reserved was spacious and comfortable at a lower cost than one room arrangements at other nearby hotels. The front desk staff was very helpful, as were the valets. The breakfast seemed reheated and the sofa bed was old, but everything else was excellent.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Staff was amazing, friendly and helpful!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    i was not happy with the living area , walls were painted dark blue and there was no window . i had expected a view of the Capitol grounds but it was like living in a cage . I believe it false advertising because on line it showed a nice , comfortable , light room with a window . I was told the hotel was full because of a convention and I could not change to another room .

    This is a charming historic hotel with a lot of personality and a great location for walking everywhere. The room was clean and unusually spacious. The entire staff from front desk to the parking valet, were always courteous and accommodating. The only negative were the fogged cobwebby windows that are in need of serious cleaning which is hampered by the fixed interior storm window. We enjoyed a convenient Happy Hour at the attached bar which is a beautiful space. We totally enjoyed our 2 nights here.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    I appreciated the uniqueness of the hotel, but things were a bit shabby. Curtains falling off of the track in room 201. One room of the suite was freezing while the other was hot due to non functioning thermostat. Only parking option was valet at $40/night

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Fridge,safe and microwave. The entire staff here is very kind and helpful. We look forward to making Commonwealth our regular hotel stay when in Richmond.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    All of the staff members were so friendly and kind, especially Eric and Jamella. We had a wonderful week! I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else in Richmond!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    For an older property, this hotel is very well-maintained. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. Our dog loved this hotel and the park across the street!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The property is 20feet from the Capitol building, within walking distance to restaurants, Jackson Ward, train station, and Shockoe Bottom district. We enjoyed our stay at The Commonwealth and the artwork. We will definitely stay there again. Staff is friendly and helpful.
