We stayed overnight in order to attend an event at the Dominion Energy Arena. It was a 10-12 minute walk from the hotel. There were restaurants in the area as well so the location was very convenient. The hotel room is not big but very adequate. I have no complaints.

I enjoyed the location and accessibility to many dining options. Carytown is beautiful. However, upon returning from dinner. We were greeted by several large water bugs *Cockroaches* that begun to fly in the restroom of our hotel. The towels were not cleaned or had been sitting for some time as they were very hard to touch the skin. The cleaning staff was super friendly, and you could tell that they were doing their best. Thank you, ladies!

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
There was no way to turn the air conditioning unit entirely off or even change the fan setting, so the unit constantly blew directly across the bed. We had to place chairs covered with clothes in front of it to block the air. The bed sagged in the middle. We could not find a way to open the curtains covering the windows.

Great stay for the price and super easy walk to the amphitheater. Could use some updating because it’s definitely showing its age, but the rooms were very clean and the parking was easy. Perfect for a quick stay for a concert.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Pros: Staff was very friendly and helpful. It seemed safe at and around the property. Room AC worked wonderfully. Breakfast was delicious. And there were plenty of restaurants within walking distance and the Amphitheatre is only a few blocks away. Cons: It would have been nice to have a ramp at the outdoor steps. Carrying luggage up the steep steps was a little awkward. Getting in/out of shower was precarious. Fortunately there was a hand rail I was able to grab before falling. The Grab & Go convenient Store was lackluster. There is a 7-11 several blocks away.

Filthy Place

The elevators were disgusting. I was hoping that was going to be the only thing disgusting but my bathroom was disgusting also. The shower was the worst, it was dirty & the pressure was awful. I would have had a better shower experience at the sink. The parking deck did not feel safe. They were painting on the 6th floor the day I was there and the paint smell made its way into my room. I had lovely views from the corner room but the windows were filthy. I couldn't wait to leave the property the next morning, I did't even go to complimentary breakfast or coffee. Terrible.
