We had enjoyed celebrating our anniversary at the Jefferson so much last year that we decided to do it again this year, although on a more modest scale. This year we stayed for two nights in a deluxe king room. To compare it to one of the Governors Suites we had stayed in last year wouldn't be fair, as the... more

My room was large, but decorated with very standard inexpensive hotel furniture. I was disappointed that the rooms didn't have more style, given the imposing lobby and public spaces. My room was perfectly clean, and had two windows, but I found it depressing to be in the space with its 1980's issue dark green carpeting and bedspreads and the faux... more

As a Richmond native, I have stayed in The Jefferson Hotel many times for special occasions, including my wedding night. I agree with other reviewers that as the hotel ages, some of the details in the guest rooms appear to be overlooked. There are scuff marks on the walls and some carpets have stains. However, the architecture and ambience of... more

I stayed here with my two teenage boys while we were in town for a lacrosse tournament. We booked a deluxe double. It was a fairly nice size room with a sectioned off changing area. The bathroom was just okay but nothing to write home about. There were many good things about the hotel but there were also some bad... more

Stayed in the hotel for business for 2 nights mid-may. I was impressed with the old time charm of the hotel and the exquisite details that made all the difference. The hotel is old, for sure, but it is extremely well maintained and has charm that you rarely find in hotels these days. The staff is friendly and accomodating (I... more

A stay at the Jefferson Hotel is a special treat. The lobby with its stained glass skylight over the statue of Jefferson is a great welcome. Our deluxe room had a roomy sitting area. Food is wonderful; we didn't eat at Lemaire this time, but TJs is quite good and the Sunday champagne brunch is mind-bogglingly excellent. Concierge can not... more

The Jefferson is a gorgeous architecture hotel. The hotel stands out and looks beautiful from the outside and as you drive in. Inside, the lobby and rotunda are beautiful. The staff was attentive and helpful with our questions and concerns. I was pleased with their service and timeliness. The rooms do vary. Some are a bit worn while others are... more

This hotel is a spectacular property. It is where the rich and famous stay when they go to Richmond. I have stayed there many times and would highly recommend it. Other Richmond hotels in this price range can't compare. The rooms do vary greatly in quality-- some are a bit worn while others are pristine. The management has been very... more

We have stayed at the Jefferson multiple times over the last 4 years while a child was attending VCU, the downtown Richmond university. The staff and accommodations at the Jefferson have always been top-notch, but this past visit was extraordinary. My partner suffered a heart attack and our world was turned upside down. The Jefferson's staff really stepped up: from... more

The hotel lobby is beautiful and the hotel staff was friendly, for the most part. Also, I like the history of the hotel and location. However, the bathroom was not clean. There was hair on the towels and on the floor. Also, they knew that we would have 3 people in the room and only gave us 2 towels, despite... more
