We were charged in a very odd way, seems like everything doubled the minute we walked in. Joe at the valet stand was absolutely wonderful. The front desk staff was really not that friendly.

Cleanliness, first of all - lamps and windows (especially on the fifth floor - the exit to the roof - it looks like the last time of cleaning up took place 2 decades ago, lol). And you should do something with your breakfast menus - it's not what we expect from the 5-star hotel.

Gorgeous hotel. Immaculate. Like going to a castle. There was nothing I could request that any of the staff would not immediately step in to offer assistance. And in the kindest most professional way. The food in the restaurant was delicious. Room service was tasty too. the Jefferson Hotel-elegant, tasteful peaceful and beautiful.. Enjoyed reading books in the historic lobby. Richmond is a great place for a getaway.

I am fortunate to be able to travel all over the world and am in a hotel around 75-100 nights a year with many of those nights in a 4 or 5 star hotels. With that reference point, I was blown away as to how impressive your staff and hotel were! There are a lot of beautiful hotels like yours in the world, but your staff is what separates you from the crowd. They are simply what other hotels should aspire to be. Your front desk people were great but Emma was the best person I've literally ever seen running a front desk. Not only did I tell her that, but I still remember her name several days (and hotels) later. Keep up the remarkable work. Anytime I'm in the area I will go out of my way to stay at the Jefferson!

The staff are all so trendy and helpful. T?he Concierge, Joe, was especially helpful and attentive to our needs. While sitting in the lobby to decide where to go, he brought us2 waters. He then brought us to his station to answer our questions, directing us to Chez Foushee for drinks and dinner. This was an excellent recommendation. We ended our evening in th wife e Jefferson bar for a night cap. The room was wonderfully spacious and my wife loved thel l
