My hubby and I recently stayed at this hotel for the NASCAR race weekend. The location of the hotel was great, it was downtown where there were lots of things within walking distance, yet easy in and out to the outlying areas of Richmond, including Richmond International Raceway. Staff were very accommodating upon check in. The only thing we didn't... More

Our overnight stay was average. The room was very plain. It looked like they stuck a bed and chair in a room at the last minute. There were some unfinished repairs, but it seemed clean. The hotel was conveniently located close to lots of restaurants. Parking was also conveniently located. The breakfast left a lot to be desired. Friendly and... More

About what you would expect. We had a nice large room on the top floor, great view. The room had a fridge and microwave in it. It was also nice to have a smoking room. Great location, short walk to the activities we were attending downtown. Had other friends staying nearby at other, pricier hotels. After seeing their rooms I... More

It's a Holiday Inn Express, what would you expect, the Ritz? Clean. Convenient. Older and refurbished. Gets you near Downtown at a reasonable cost with some breakfast stuff to boot. People all very nice, friendly and helpful.

This is my second stay at the HIE Downtown. We stayed in May 2012 for our daughter's VCU graduation. We were happy with our experience then.

Old facility, a bit down at the heels, but clean. Front desk person -- night -- was friendly and helpful. Convenient for our business but wouldn't want to stay there on vacation. Parking garage a bit spooky.
