Very pleasant experience, Destiny at the front-desk was a pleasure along with the valet staff!
Pros:

Overall, I had a very pleasant experience. Elevators are small so take note of that in case you have a big party or lots of luggage, may have to make two trips. You can't beat the location as you're in walking distance to a plethora of things. I toured 3 apartments in this area and was able to walk to each one in less than 5 minutes--made apartment hunting in Richmond a breeze. Bonus point for having a microwave as a lot of hotels nowadays seem to not be putting them in the rooms any more. The Jefferson was exceptionally spacious and without a doubt would be this suite again!

Cons:

Wish I could have checked in at least one hour early before 3pm, but my room was ready at 2:30 which ended up working out since I had two appts that I was able to get done prior to check-in. Smart-TVs in the room would have been great cause then you can airdrop or airplay from your phone--the button for streaming platforms didn't seem to work when I pushed the, but I had my tablet so I was able to stream shows that way. Elevators are small so take note of that in case you have a big party or lots of luggage, may have to make two trips.

Pleasant room, but scarce parking and no hot shower
Pros:

The room was well designed, I liked the couch and the full length mirror.

Cons:

The water in the shower didn't even get past warm. The room didn't get much natural light and the window faced other rooms' windows, such that I couldn't open the blinds without compromising my privacy. Parking was hard to find around the location, which is probably why they are selling $40 valet parking.

Cons:

The valet service was pushy for a tip. Also you are forced to use valet service because there is no other parking in the area.
