Reasonable and comfortable
Pros:

The beds in the rooms were spacious. The refrigerators need to be updated. They can fix some of the rusty parts in the room like in the restroom. The sinks ran slowly, but besides that it’s bigger than the Marriott and I went from the Hilton to the Marriott.

Cons:

It’s a little old and rusty, and can be updated. At least the elevator in the aging structure.

Pros:

Only went for a 1 night stay, had to work the next day. I went for an event. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff was courteous and friendly. The only inconvenience was there was only 1 out of 4 elevators in operation on a Saturday during check in.

Great hotel, love the VIP treatment from Chandra at breakfast!
Pros:

I stay at this hotel every 2-3 months with our son who is on a clinical drug trial at VCU Health. Great hotel, close to airport and VCU Health. A highlight is breakfast where Chandra always takes great care of us, talks to Jack and adds a wonderful personal touch to a long day and half of travel and time at the children’s hospital.

Filthy "Suite"
Pros:

My main reason to write this review is to express the lack of cleanliness in the room. To put it point blank on the surface you may think you walked into a decent room. I walked into a suite that clearly had not been deep cleaned in some time. Both pull out couches had stains on the cushions and the mattresses. I understand me getting a pet friendly room that I may encounter some of these things but for someone who has stayed in many pet friendly rooms from lower tiered hotels I expected the Hilton to at least vacuum under the couches and deep clean what more than likely was "pet stains" on the couch cushions. One of the cushions looked like it had a blood stain on it. I pulled the couch up so I can plug in a fan for my son and nothing but trash was between the seats and the floor.
Again I have stayed in many suites including the Hilton and for all the space provided in the room the is very minimal furniture, only 1 sink in the room which is located in the bathroom, the microwave is by the elevator and when you flushed the toilet the water sprayed up to the floor. This was room 425 so if anyone from the Hilton sees this there is a lot to be done.
I chose this hotel because it wasn't too far from the Richmond Raceway which was a decent $15 Lyft ride so no compaints there and there was a pool/hot tub. My kids wanted to use the pool so I was happy with the hot tub option for my bad back.... Guess what the Hot Tub was the same temp as the pool. COLD. Now I'm just on the side playing on my phone while my kids enjoy some pool time.
The reason Im not giving it 1 star is because the staff are delightful. My wife and I went to the bar to ease the stress of everything wrong with this place and enjoyed the conversation with the staff. They were as helpful as they could be at the momnet but getting a different suite the weekend of the 2026 Cook Out 400 NASCAR Cup Series race at Richmond Raceway was pretty impossible at this point. For the price I paid to stay in a Hilton Suite I might as well found a local motel and saved the money.

Needs new management.
Pros:

Came here during race weekend. The improvements are cheep and falling apart. The amenities are not open or not working. It’s a bandaid on a massive cut. Won’t take too long to fix the problems but it need new management.

Slow start. Awesome finish!
Pros:

Our stay started out rough because our King bed room was swapped to a dual queen bed room. The next day we were comped a night with vouchers so all is well. The stars were Imani and Zee from the dining experience. They're service and kindness made our stay so enjoyable that we would mind coming back just to see them. The food at the bar, although slow, was exceptional as well. The fish tacos and filet mignon sliders we're delicious. We would recommend.
