“I would stay there again,very clean and quiet”
This was a very clean hotel,the room was always kept clean by the staff. They made sure I always had my coffee refills. I would stay there again if I venture back to Richmond.
“Richmond's Best Kept Secret”
I was not expecting the comfortable bed, in door restaurant or balcony that I had at this hotel. I loved it and will be staying there whenever I visit that part of Richmond in the future.
“Pleasant surprise.”
Much better than I had expected. Quiet. Convenient location to Museum area. Right on the same street. Food in restaurant very good. Staff pleasant and helpful. Room a nice size. Clean and comfortable. Satisfied with the price. I would definetly stay there again.
“Excellent value!”
The Clarion was a delightful surprise. Although located right off 95, it just didn't feel like a typical interstate chain hotel. The room was immaculate and comfortable with a nice balcony overlooking the courtyard pool. We had a reservation for the next night at a fancy place in downtown Richmond and honestly if the second hotel hadn't been pre-paid, we would have stayed at the Clarion another night and saved some money.
“Not so Central but still OK”
I stayed at the Richmond Central Inn in mid March 2011 and was very satisfied with my time there. The facilities and amenities are what you'd expect in a place like this (i.e mid-range comfort etc) and there is a good restaurant on site for breakfast and dinner (although it's a pity they couldn't have thrown a complimentary breakfast in for the price). The only significant drawback for me was the location; those with a car won't have an issue getting to downtown Richmond from here of course (maybe a 10-15 minute drive?) but anybody else will need to rely on some sketchy public transport. There is a bus stop outside but the service is infrequent (i.e 60-90 mins between buses) and the buses back from downtown cease service fairly early in the evening (something like 9.30 from memory). From the heart of downtown I'm guessing it would be about an hour's walk back to this hotel. One other thing - if you're coming from the airport by cab, don't confuse the driver by calling it the "Central Inn" - most cabbies there still know it as the Holiday Inn and won't know what you're talking about if you insist on referring to it as the Central Inn.
“Serves it's purpose”
Right off the highway, Very convenient with a short drive to fan area and VCU. Easy to come and go with plenty of free parking unlike many of the more expensive hotels downtown that have parking and valet fees. Parts of hotel are a bit warn and dated, but our room was very clean and spotless when we came back each evening.
“Review”
Everything was very nice. We stayed two more nights.
“Clean and convenient with a potential surprise.”
The hotel is clean, well tended and convenient to the Interstate road system as well as down town. Our room was very comfortable and quite with one exception. The hotel is practically next door to the ball park. We knew that a game was scheduled for that night and expected the fireworks to go of at the end of the game. If some one is staying in the hotel and not aware of or expecting this festivity, it could actually give them a momentary scare.
“Richmond Hotel”
This hotel is not directly downtown, but you can just hop right onto 95 and you are there in 5 minutes. The hotel staff was very friendly and accommodating, especially at the (complimentary) breakfast. The room was clean and spacious, however, the bathroom could use an update. Our room even had a balcony. The gym only has two treadmills and one bike, but the machines work and it was good enough. Overall, I can't complain. I had room service, slept comfortably, and the hotel was quiet.
“Thank God it was only for 1 night....”
Well...we wanted a place to "crash" as we drove down to South Carolina, thank God it was only for 1 night. The floor of our room was WET (we think it was from the air conditioner, since it was around that) and the bathroom had ants. The beds were comfortable and the location and price were good....but, that was it. Definitely would NOT recommend it. Interestingly, though, a large group of Virginia Department of Environmental Protection Agency workers were staying there the same night as well (there were like 10 of their vehicles there) which made us think that if it was good enough for them, it was good enough for us, but maybe their rooms weren't as gross!
