Downtown hotel on a holiday = quiet neighborhood with not much open. The suite was very nice (good size for the $$), but the restaurant was a disappointment. It was unexpectedly closed one morning due to someone calling out sick.
We may try a different neighborhood next time.

This nicely renovated classic hotel sits across from the Capitol and offers roomy suites at a reasonable price. The living room furnishings are comfortable and not econolodge cheap, too firm, upholstered boxes. Valet parking staff are excellent though the great location means there is loads to walk to directly. The front desk staff is welcoming and happy to offer local insight. A nice stay.

The room was clean but the building and amenities are dated and dark. The website description and photos are deceiving. For close to the same price you could stay at the Omni which is 2 blocks away.

The Valet & Front Desk & Bartender were GREAT. We had our small dog & happily found ourselves upgraded to a bigger suite that was great - being RIGHT NEXT TO the Capital Park was great for easy dog walks. Very nice older Hotel with wonderful Staff!

Really enjoyed my stay at the Commonwealth!
Cons
-Hot water pressure could have been better in the shower.
-Not a lot of late night dining options in the area. This is more of a Richmond thing, not a hotel thing.
Pros
-Beautiful rooms! We were very happy with the accomodations.
-Staff was amazing especially KENNY! Kenny is a guy that brought energy and smiles to his job and was extremel helpful. They need to triple that man's pay. In addition, everyone on staff was just a joy to be around.

The rooms here are adorable and the classic style has been maintained. I checked in late at night. The process went smoothly, but the staff seemed less than thrilled to be there. No real complaints though.

I've stayed here before and I've always liked the hotel. That said, I self-parked my motorcycle and was charged $ for valet. And in the morning did not have hot water in the shower. It was 'just' warm enough to shower, but not comfortably.

Nice hotel, conveniently located across fro the state capitol building and a few blocks from good restaurants. Large rooms - separate living room and bedroom.

We had an amazing anniversary trip at The Commonwealth. All of the special touches in our room were much appreciated. This is certainly our favorite place to stay in the Richmond area.

The atmosphere at this hotel felt somewhat impersonal. While I had positive interactions with two of the valet staff, who were both incredibly kind and personable, the experience at the front desk was less welcoming. The staff seemed disengaged, with no eye contact or smiles during our interactions. I believe this is likely unintentional, but I hope management takes the opportunity to emphasize in training how vital it is for guests to feel genuinely welcomed, as if they are entering a home. A warm reception goes a long way in creating a positive experience.

Room was very clean and the entire place is decorated very well. Many references to Richmond in the names of the rooms.

Dirty and old
3.0
Older building that appeared to be modernized over the past couple of years with style that feels a bit cheap. Property could use essential updates. Room felt used without update or maintenance , lumpy bed, dirty feeling floors with bare feet and clogged sink.
Some of the positives include friendly staff. Safe and walkable area and big suites that have an actual living room.
