I stayed at this hotel for the Rocketts Landing Triathlon. The hotel was within 5 easy minutes of the race venue which made the multiple trips for packet pickup, pre-race stuff easy and stress free. The rooms are nice and clean, no strange odors and the internet was speedy and reliable. I used Valet parking because the available garages were farther than I wanted to walk. I found the staff to be extremely helpful about how to get around and what traffic areas to avoid. The front desk staff was nice, though the check in person did not tell me I was assigned to the club level until after I made a request for a lower floor. Had he told me I was on the club level, I probably could have gotten over my fear of heights. All in all a nice stay. The breakfast buffet is excellent. I enjoyed it both mornings.

There for a convention of about 200 people. Good meeting rooms. Restaurant facilities and convention meals okay. Some meals not part of convention had to be searched for in the area. Weekend meals at noon limited as to availability.

This is a two star motel, not a hotel. Park across the street at the parking garage off of of 12th street. The Valets is $20 a night and not worth the wait. The restaurant was the worst food I've ever eaten in my life. Spend your money elsewhere.

We visited Richmond after spending two days at the Omni in Charlottesville (see seperate review). Easy to find and my first advice is use the valet parking if you are staying mid week. We parked round the corner and found that the daily cost was higher. Unfortunately our room had a very sour smell and just to check that we were not being over fussy, we verified with housekeeping who offered to spray the room! We went to reception to explain our concern and as we had checked in early, they said there was not another room available immediately but suggested we went back at 3 PM, which we did. We were given a new room on the Club floor which was fine and at no time did I feel that the staff took a critical view of our request to change. The new room was fine and up to the stnadard of other Omni hotels we have stayed in. Other than that, the hotel is well located with lots of local restaurants and a short walk to the River Walk. The YMCA gym is in the same building is well equipped and easy to use. Finally, the breakfast buffet is first class.
