“Great room, but questionable customer service...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed March 11, 2013

Charged me for a day that I did not stay...notified them within 48 hours (Wednesday) that I had to leave due to a death in the family. When I attempted to check out Friday, I was told there would be no refund since I "pre-paid" online for this reservation. I don't have to stay at the Embassy Suites - Commerce Center in Richmond, VA as I have other options, but i have stayed there for 3 years in a row for the meetings I have to attend yearly for the VHSL Spring Meetings.

“Better than expected”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 11, 2013

The hotel and the rooms in particular were cleaner and nicer than expected for the price, and than expected from the rather drab exterior. The hotel was fully booked with kids in a soccer tournament, but we thought the staff did a reasonably good job of managing the crowds, particularly at the pool and during breakfast. Location turned out to be a bit too far from the center of the city for us (all those traffic lights on Broad Street, ugh). Also, we ordered in room service for dinner and were very pleased with the quality. Get the shrimp and corn beignets (not really beignets, but still delicious)!

“Just remodeled, clean 2 room suite”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 3, 2013 via mobile

An overnight stay while traveling on I 95 brought us to this recently remodeled Embassy Suites. Everything was new, crisp and clean. We always appreciate the 2 room suite with fridge & microwave, where a door can give a nice separation. As usual for Embassy Suites, the included full breakfast buffet was plentiful.

The only negative is a very small bathroom, although an extra sink area is provided in the bedroom.

Extra Hilton Honors points were accrued for eating in the restaurant.

“Got the bums rush!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 26, 2013

Arrived mid day and was told our room was ready (around noon). We checked in and were sleeping (between 1 and 2 pm) when housekeeping knocked on the door and woke us up to ask when we would be checking out and leaving! Yes, the hotel was full (soccer tournament in town -- which we were participating in), but we had been told our room was ready (and it was), so why did housekeeping come to clean an already clean room?

The manager's reception was a bit disappointing --- yes, free drinks, but the "light appetizers" consisted of tortilla chips and salsa, veggies and dip, crackers and mixed nuts.

The next morning as we packed up (between 8 and 9 am), housekeeping knocked on our door AGAIN (thank goodness we didn't sleep in!) to find out when we would be leaving. If you advertise a 12 pm checkout, why are you knocking on doors before 9 am??? I have never felt as rushed to leave a hotel by the employees as I did with this stay. I like Embassy Suites, but I would hesitate to book at this property again.

Dear Valued Guest
While I was pleased to read we were able to check you in early, I was disappointed there was confusion with your room’s departure date and we caused you to feel rushed the next morning. I have shared your comments with our staff and thank you sharing your thoughts with us. We do hope you will give us another try if in Richmond and we hope you enjoyed the soccer tournament. Best Regards, Kathleen Lyons

“Great place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 25, 2013

I stayed here for business and it was very central location to everything - including the mall! The KONA GRILL near there was really good as well! I also ate at their great restaurant, happy hour, breakfast. I will definitely stay again. The employees were great too. They were very accommodating and rooms were very nice and clean.
