This hotel gets a mixed review from me, for sure. First of all, this is an older property that has likely been renovated many times over the years. As such, the layout befits an older property, and it doesn't always line up with modern expectations, such as stairs' going directly outside rather than to the lobby. However, that can't really be changed too much without tearing down the facility and building a new one, so I feel as though it would be unfair to ding them over that. Similarly, the elevators were being renovated while we were staying there, and this limited the elevators' capacity, as only one (of two total) was available during our stay. This is a temporary inconvenience and necessary work, so I'm giving them a bye on that work. As far as our room went, I took no issue with it. It was clean, it had adequate lighting, and the beds were comfortable. The breakfast service was about what you would expect for a Holiday Inn Express. Nothing too fancy, but not terrible, either. My only complaint was that the warming units that the food sat in continuously made contact with the sneeze guard, which made for a frustrating experience (feeling like you need three hands to serve yourself). That could probably be remedied easily enough if someone cared enough to do it. The parking and access situation, however, was unacceptable. The parking lot is on the back side of the building. This stems from the property's being very old, so I'm not willing to ding them for that on its own, as there is an entrance to the lobby on the parking lot side. However, I will ding them for how access to the parking lot is handled late at night. After 11 PM, the doors facing the parking lot are locked, and there is no access allowed through that door, with all entering and exiting being done via the door next to the front desk. The door to the parking lot also has a sign posted on it when the doors are locked stating as such, and threatening immediate removal from the property should the doors be opened during those hours. That means that in order to access the lot, you have to walk completely around the outside of the building. To add insult to injury, there is a card access box that allows access to be limited to only registered guests, but the doors are locked in such a way as to bypass the card access system. The staff said that this was due to a problem with homeless trying to sleep in the hotel's lobby, but inconveniencing paying guests is no way to do it. All in all, I suppose that this isn't a bad place based on the price and the location, but I'm not inclined to stay again, as the inconveniences outweighed the positives.

Last minute one night stay. In town for kids sports event, decided to book the morning of, rather than drive over 2.5hrs each way home and back again. Simply put - this property should NOT bear the Marriott name. It is disgusting. Period. Rooms are outdated and dirty. Sidewalks are all uneven. Pool is extremely small, more like an over-sized hot tub, with a clearly unmaintained walking area around it. Buildings are clearly old, as if stuck in time from when this apartment-style hotel was in its prime. Not today! Had my entire family with me, so we paid the extra $$ for the two bedroom “penthouse” (as described in the Marriott app), only to find out it is really just an outdated second floor room with a loft and extra bathroom upstairs. Not a big deal, we needed the space. But the notion that this room is a penthouse, is laughable at best. The first room we checked into wreaked of ********* and cigarette smoke. We hadn’t even crossed the door threshold before being greeted by that awful smell. A quick call to the front desk yielded the usual apologies, and we were promptly relocated to another room. We did not stay in the first room long enough to even tell if it was clean. Unfortunately at that point, based on the property being so outdated, and the disgusting smell of first room, our expectation of the next room was pretty low - just don’t stink. While the second room did not smell as bad as the first, it was clearly a room that had previous issues…. The door and door jamb showed clear indications that this room had been broken into, perhaps repeatedly. The door hardware had clearly come off and had been reattached multiple times based on the amount of screw holes. The “safety” latch on the top was so loose that it came off in my hand while I was checking to see how bad it was. When I called the front desk to have it repaired, I was advised that maintenance had departed for the day and it would be addressed in the morning. I ended up using the butter knife from the kitchen to reattach it with the screws - it was actually tighter than it was when we checked in. Since my wife was not completely comfortable with that, we opted to buy a door security bar from Walmart as an extra precaution. It baffles me that Marriott is aware of this condition and has simply chosen to reattach the hardware rather than redo the door frame, and replace the entire door. Aside from the door, the room is simply as outdated as the rest of the property is. The decor is old. The plastic shower hardware is barely holding on. The red chair in the main room has several stains on it. Flipping the seat cushion only revealed more stains. We pushed it into a corner and didn’t use it, not even setting our bags on it. At that point, being as late as it was, we simply just set our mind to minimum expectations and hoped for a decent night of sleep, which we got. Can’t say that the beds were comfortable - they were not; can’t say it was quiet - it was not because the AC sounded

The service, room and amenities were fantastic. I attended a conference at the Westin only minutes away Much better value and great room! Highly recommend

The front desk staff and bistro staff were amazing - helpful, courteous, and quick! Now...onto the hotel itself: This place is NOT up to Marriott standards - I cannot and will not believe it is. Yes the lobby seems updated and modern, but the rest of this hotel is definitely screaming ”1990”. This must've been one of the original Courtyard concepts back in the day OR was an old hotel they bought and slapped a Courtyard sign out front. Rooms are small, dated furniture, and make shift layout (TV to the side of the bed - not in front). This place is a maze...all jokes aside. There is no main lobby elevator/access to the 2nd or 3rd floors. No....you have to walk all the way down a very long hallway, then turn left and walk some more down another hallway, until you come up on the elevator!?! The amount of hotel guests I ran into who were lost (myself included) trying to find the elevator from the lobby and vice versa, should be a clear sign this layout is awful. Room was comfy and quiet (mine faced the rear parking lot) and I had enough towels and all for a 2 day stay for work. Did have a frig - but NO microwave. Last complaint - breakfast. Isn't Marriott membership supposed to give free breakfast? I got a basic (but really tasty) breakfast + Pelligrino = $23???

I drove 4 hours to this hotel, and they cancelled my booking not long before i got there, and my room was given away. I received an email 30 minutes before I got there, which I clearly didn’t see since I was driving… The front desk clerk was completely rude and had a terrible attitude. He didn’t have a name tag on (probably for a reason) so I didn’t get his name. The email said they possibly had another room to offer me. The desk guy didn’t even look, said they’re sold out and I’m out of luck. No apology, or “sorry for the inconvenience”, help finding a new room, AND I even asked to use the restroom (a locked single use restroom) because I had been driving for hours and really had to use the bathroom and he wouldn’t even let me use it! So they cancelled my booking, no reason given, no “sorry”, AND THIS MAN WHO WORKS IN HOSPITALITY WOULDNT EVEN LET ME USE THE RESTROOM after all that. Treated me as if I’m not even human, just some scum on his shoe. I would never try to stay here again.

This hotel was a great surprise. I was pleasantly surprised by the customer service and how clean my room was. The front desk agent was very personable and welcoming. When I return to Richmond I will most definitely come back here.

When checking it, a sign on the entrance stated masks are required. We put on our masks and walked in ( both of us are vaccinated ). The front desk clerk's mask was hanging off her ear but she did put it on when we approached, most likely she heard my wife say ”she's not wearing a mask”. As we were checking in several people passed by coming in, going out and one was checking out, all not wearing a mask. So why bother posting the sign? After receiving our key, going up to the room and opening the door a waft of cigarette odor hit us. We reserved a king non smoking and the clerk acknowledged that as she checked us in. Returning to the front desk, explained the odor, the clerk gave us a new room. This one didn't smell of smoke. I noticed there weren't any bath towels in the room, so as we were walking toward the elevator to go for dinner the desk clerk was coming toward us and asked if that room was better. We stated it didn't smell of smoke, but could someone bring us bath towels. She told us it was just here and could we pick them up on our way back in?? I noticed she was holding a spray bottle and some rags in her hands which I reflected on after we got back from dinner. There's a sign on the mirror stating 'housekeeping available upon request” and that the room has been cleaned with hospital grade disinfectant with special attention to high touch areas. Great! Unfortunately it seemed housekeeping didn't clean all the other areas or the housekeeping is the desk clerk with the spray bottle and rags! The bathroom was disgusting, The toilet rim had urine stains and cigarette ashes, there was hair in the shower and sink. Thank god we had lysol wipes. After traveling we just wanted to settle in. At least the bed was clean and comfortable, except for the pillows. This is the worst hotel room we ever had. If this hotel was in my portfolio I would be embarrassed. We have stayed at several other Choice Hotel brands as we travel to our main destination and by far, this is the worst and doubtful we would ever stay at a Sleep Inn again. For almost $100 the value was horrible, but then again paying anything for this room would not have been a good value.

The room is large, the big bed is more than enough to sleep two people, and the sofa is also very comfortable. There is a kitchen with a refrigerator, a microwave, and all kinds of kitchen utensils. The bathroom is large, clean and tidy. The living experience is great
