The best part about this hotel is the excellent customer service. From the time I checked in to the time I checked out, everyone I interacted with was polite, helpful, and friendly. They went out of their way to arrange shuttle rides for me around Richmond, and even had batteries sent up to my room when I inquired if they... More

A "well used" hotel within an easy walk to the VCU campus. Great location for visiting VCU. Helpful, accommodating staff. The free shuttle (within three miles) was a plus. Would book again if visiting VCU.

We spent a weekend at the Doubletree for a wedding. The staff was excellent!! We had some transportation issues that they handled for us - much more than what we expected. Good value for the price of a downtown hotel.

recently stayed here for a seminar I was attending for work. . .the hotel overall was average, rooms were clean & sufficient but nothing extraordinary about it, room rate was a bit overpriced . The staff, however, was wonderful. . .everyone was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay.

The stay here was for one night and it was okay. We booked a room with one king, but got a room with two doubles. I don't know if it's because that's just how it happened or the person checking us in thought my boyfriend and I really weren't a couple. People tend to assume I'm his caretaker because he's... More

I stayed there while attending a conference held there. I'd never stayed in a DoubleTree before, but since it is a Hilton brand, I figured it would be good.

Very nice hotel, good value, and great location. Arrived in Richmond at 7:15 for an 8:00 show at the Landmark theater, got checked in quickly, changed, and shuttle was ready to take us to the theater with 10 minutes to spare! Would do again on next visit to Richmond.
