Overall this property was a good place to stay so we could spread out and have extra room for our trip. Communication was fine and checkin instructions were very detailed. I cannot give it 5 stars however. The shower curtain and shower were dirty. There were stains on the bed linens and the comforter as well as a hole in the comforter. The property also charges $5/day for parking which was not disclosed in the original price. The exterior of the property had a dog area and people did not clean up after their dog — this was also the area we were required to park.

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
