The staff at the property were courteous and nice. The walkway out front was a huge concern. They have a sign at the top of the stairs to be careful slippery when wet type thing but at the base of the stairs nothing. We were there with several athletes and I was so scared one of them would fall walking in the building and get seriously hurt. It is painted with high gloss paint and no grip on the stairs or the entrance walkway. Very dangerous and needs to be addressed. Another random small thing is, no trash can in the bathroom or place to put your toiletries while showering. Overall the stay was ok though.

Was told the room I booked wasn't available due to a problem with Expedia. Told me there were only two rooms left ( about 15 cars in the parking garage). Told me they would do anything to get me a room there. Calls manager. Taps computer keys furiously. Sweat forms on brow. Pumps fist in victory. Downgrades my king size to a crappy double queen. At just about the same cost ! I'll probably search harder next time I go to Richmond.

Overall nice stay. Staff were friendly. Location was good. One remark is that they did not come and clean our room since they only came in the early morning when we were still sleeping.

Decent Holiday Inn

I’m not a fan of holiday in but we got in late so we just needed to stay the one night. It’s a newer hotel which is good but it’s just not as comfortable to me. It did include breakfast which was convenient. It wasn’t bad, it was ok.

Is not my first time staying in Holiday Inn Express but this one is the first one that in my room I can here every single car pass at the street I’m stay at the 6 floor. The staffing are great and the service 5 start. But the property need to be more clean and the parking lot is $20 for a day a I feel is dirty and insecure for anyone even the staff. Their no security member at the property.

This was a bad experience as the hotel appeared dingy, the elevator floors were dirty and the bathroom tub was rusted and I was not able to give my son a bath. The toilet seat was not cleaned properly as it had pubic hair behind the lid. Horrible experience and I would not stay here again.
