Central location for touring Richmond
Pros:

Central location and a huge room were the positives. It had a gym but I did not have time to use it. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Although the breakfast was free, it was constant with other hotels, very average!

It was ok, but I won't be back because of the parking charge.
Pros:

The location was close to where I needed to go. The room itself was fine.

Cons:

The additional charge of $20 to park for the one-night stay was ridiculous.
