We traveled to Richmond for Christmas and picked the Berkeley for uniqueness & location. We were very pleased with the accommodations. The staff was OK, but not extremely accommodating. The listing on Expedia advertised Free Parking, however, valet was $32/nt and self-parking was $15-25 depending on the parking deck. 2 hr free parking is available around the hotel, but that's not what I consider free parking. We spent over $100 on parking during the 4 nights we were there. It was also a disappointing that complimentary coffee was only available during the AM and not throughout the day, as we opted to sleep late for our holiday. We were also informed at check-in that our room would be cleaned after our 4-night stay, but to call the front desk if we needed anything. We made do with what we had, as there were rarely cleaning carts on our floor. Overall, great location & nice property. Staff could have been more customer-friendly. Valet staff was very personable.

Terrific small boutique hotel right in the middle of a great downtown neighborhood. Really helpful and friendly staff and very good restaurant on premises. An excellent alternative to the big newer places around it.

The staff is wonderful! & everything was clean- the only thing that was a bummer is physical upkeep of the room- there was a rickety floor lamp by the window that sat at about an 85° angle to the floor, the magnifying mirror in the bathroom was falling off the wall, the bathroom wall paper was curling and buckling on the edges, & there was a stain on the wall paper near the terrace door at about just over head level- making it pretty obvious. This is not what i was expecting from a place like this!

Hotel wasn’t perfect, looked like hair on a towel or 2, the sink wasn’t draining right, the lamp on the far side was always hot to the touch, and actually burned my wife’s finger, lastly the light for the beauty mirror wasn’t working But other than these mess ups, it was a good stay

The bathroom door wouldn’t shut because a hinge was loose, there was no fridge or microwave. Everything else was top shelf!
