9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,189 reviews)

I was absolutely thrilled at the offer to check in early versus just checking our luggage. Service at the Linden Row is top notch, including cuddles from the beloved inn cat. The room we had was incredibly spacious and perfect for our needs. I would definitely recommend it you're seeking more of a historic trip in Richmond.

The only negative was that there is no parking at hotel and valeting your car costs 37 dollars a night!! Besides this the room was very clean and comfortable, the rooftop bar was awesome as well as the lobby. Would definitely recommend!!

The room had gnats flying around, the air temperature didn’t drop to 66 degrees, and it kept making a noise when it turned on.
