This is our fifth visit to the Jefferson and it has never failed to be anything but comfortable and a classy weekend. They always take great care of us, even when Richmond was battling a boil water edict due to issues at the Water facility. Fortunately the boil water restrictions were lifted Saturday at noon, just in time for the Sunday Champagne Brunch. Which we highly recommend if you get the chance. Overall, It was because of the Hotel’s high attention to detail that the water issues caused no real concern and we look forward to our next visit.

Loved out stay

My wife and I stayed here to catch a comedy show for our anniversary at the Altria Theatre. The theatre was within walking distance (8-10 min walk). We arrived to find easy parking, very friendly and courteous staff, and super clean hotel. Even during a snow storm everything was very clean. The room did not disappoint either. Very large room, bed was comfortable, and did I mention… clean?! I hate dirty bathrooms when I stay in a hotel. I felt like you could eat off of the floor here! We got room service for breakfast. Right on time… The food was hot, delicious, and filling. I would 100% recommend staying here again. Everything was too notch.

The VIP upgrade process went very well. Rooms were spacious and nicely appointed with nice amenities. The only problem was the cold air leakage from the closed windows near the bed — unfortunately the heavy drapes did not fully block out the cold air. The room was a little unevenly heated — warmero in some spots. Otherwise the upgraded rooms were a very nice perk and staff was very supportive and kind. Valet system re car can be done on your phone which is a nice convenience.
