Virginia Pet-friendly Vacations

I realize it’s not The Four Seasons, but there is a certain expectation that gets set when one is paying over $350 a night for a hotel room. This hotel did not meet it and it was the only time I have ever asked for a different room (and I have traveled a LOT). I was given a large dark corner room (it had only one tiny window), which might not have been as much of a problem, except that all of the lamps in my room flickered eerily. The air-conditioner was not working properly - it took three hours to cool the room 3° and sadly smelled faintly of onions (typical of mold in an hvac). The tub faucet was pulling out of the wall and there was peeling paint and wallpaper in a number of corners of the room and bathroom. I could also feel the springs in the mattress. Honest to Pete, it was like a bad movie. A local shopkeeper I was chatting with told me the room might’ve been haunted lol. On a positive note, I received excellent service from all of the staff at the hotel who really went out of their way to help me. Also housekeeping did a very good job cleaning the rooms. It is certainly a great location, but it is a shame to see such a beautiful building being poorly cared for (the hallways weren’t bad but the elevators were in poor condition). It is likely I would only return to the hotel as a last resort.

It was unacceptable to us that we couldn’t get a fresh cup of coffee in the morning. We were told at the desk at check in that we could pay for a cup at the on site restaurant. When we went down in the morning the restaurant wasn’t open until 7am. On our multi state travel itinerary this is the only hotel that didn’t offer fresh coffee in the lobby. Deal breaker? For us yes.

Very dated. Elevator not working. Convenient location is the best thing about this property

Clean room | Love the style and decor | Nice lobby and amenities
