There was a problem with some of the rooms at the Colonies so we had to move to their sister resort down the road. Due to the inconvenience they upgraded our room to a very nice 2 bedroom suite and gave us a complimentary 2 night stay for the future.

Everything related to the hotel was awesome. Very old and charming building, I could stay there for years. No laundry or parking on site though. Only thing that was irritating was panhandling in the area, not that it’s the hotel’s fault.

Virginia State University is a public, historically black college located in Petersburg, Virginia. The university is the first fully supported, four year institution for African Americans in the United States and is one of two land-grant colleges in the State of Virginia. The university was founded on March 6, 1882 as the Virginia Normal and College Institute after the state legislature passed a bill sponsored by Delegate Alfred W. Harris, a black attorney, which chartered the university. The state established the university to serve the needs of a population that was at the time excluded from other public institutions in Virginia. Virginia Normal and College Institute opened as a teacher training college for both male and female black students but it also included a modest liberal arts curriculum. @ Virginia State University
