I had an amazing stay in this beautiful historic building that was just a short walk from the trail and close to numerous restaurants and attractions. My evening was truly wonderful, and the check-in, check-out, and parking processes were all very easy.

This is an old hotel
The hotel itself is kind of old and i understand some people might like the old aesthetic. When we got to the hotel we asked for a microwave and the website says you can ask on request but the front desk lady immediately says “No you may not ask for a microwave” not just only that, there isn’t any refrigerator, the bathroom was old and there was a fly/bug in the room. This is my first time I have ever have to put a review for a hotel and it was this bad.

Nice hotel in great neighborhood. Could use a spa/pool and some complimentary b-fast items. Night male desk clerk told me zero about any hotel amenities, nor restaurant hours, and when I asked about any late late food options upon my late arrival, he was unwilling to share anything and told me to google. So this took me awhile, since unfamiliar with area. And then had to seek out other staff members in the morning for any info on the hotel. The women on day crew (met a desk manager and a housekeeper supervisor) are excellent! I would replace the night guy with someone who cares.

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.

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!
