TJ’s Hotel!

The Jefferson is an absolute icon in Richmond, Virginia, and is always a fantastic place to stay! From check in to check out everything, all your wants and needs, anything at all, is attended to with the utmost professionalism! The courtesy is above and beyond, and the drinks at the bar are served up with quite a heavy Poore! I highly recommend The Jefferson to anyone traveling to Richmond!

Who knew that there is a free shuttle to the Altria Theater? The check in lady knew and sent us to the concierge to set it up. Michael, the driver, was rightly proud of his stately mini-coach and explained how to arrange to meethim most expeditiously after the show.

WOW. How cool is that?

Not enough stars to do it justice. We have come here before but never knew about the free shuttle service to the Altria Theater in a slick mini coach driven by a very nice gentleman who explained how to most expeditiously get picked up for the return after the show. WOW. How cool is that? Of course everything about the hotel and our room was as good as it could be.
