Omni Richmond Hotel
Internet access provided by hotel is bad. Traveling for a business trip I had to spend at least half an hour contacting the help center to connect in my laptop. Also, the toilet dispenser is too close to the toilet bowl. You have to actually sit diagonal in order to be able to use the toilet.

The Jefferson Hotel
Great hotel and great staff.. our only real negative feedback is that the gym is middling at best if we are being charitable… and realistically disappointing relative to the hotel’s overall high price/high value positioning in the market. you all can do better!! equipment, lay-out etc etc ...
