The Commonwealth was great for my one night in Richmond. Leading up to the stay, the staff were responsive, friendly, and helpful on the phone. Upon check-in, were given a suite with a huge, separate living area which was convenient and unexpected. The on-site food was convenient and tasty for breakfast. Be aware that the elevators are very tiny and the hallways are narrow. Great stay- I’d definitely come back!
