We stayed at this property three nights while visiting for the races at Virginia International. The property was recently renovated tastefully with a nicely done entertainment area in the basement. The immediate cul-de-sac/neighborhood was quiet but the road headed into The River District left a bit to be desired (older/run down houses and businesses).
The River District was mostly quiet with several hidden gems, specifically we enjoyed: Golden Leaf Bistro, Mucho Tacqueria, River District Social, Ballad Brewing, and Nana Karen's on Main. We attempted to go to Cotton at Riverside Mill but discovered we needed to make a reservation :)
We would certainly stay at the location again and I will be curious to see what sort of impact on the area the Caesar's Virginia will have!
One small detail is make sure you don't touch any of the buttons on the SimplySafe alarm pad inside the door, we may have set the alarm off on ourselves :) Both exterior doors lock automatically to the outside when you close them.
