Doswell Castle Hotels

"The hotel is in a great area but it was ok as far as cleanliness. My shower had someone else's hair in it which is a turn off. Other than that, the room was fine. "

"PROS: The area is cute, walkable to buses, and there’s a sweet lobby kitty. The building is historic, with nice architecture. One front desk staff member was awesome, but the others during our stay were a bit less friendly. None were rude or unprofessional. They gave us fresh washcloths when they weren’t able to clean the room. CONS: The walls are so thin, we could hear all of our neighbors’ conversations, even though they were speaking in a normal voice. Our upstairs neighbors dropped their luggage (presumably) on the floor late at night and it was so loud my partner and I both jumped. We could hear their conversations clearly as well. The furniture, wallpaper, and carpet were well past their prime, and were perhaps last updated decades ago. The sink was cracked, and it took several minutes for the hot water to get warm enough to shower each time. The room ceiling had a crack across it. The old wooden baseboards, doors, and molding appeared as though they had been painted over dozens and dozens of times and still seemed to be aging poorly underneath. One day we asked if we could get our room cleaned even though it was around 1pm; they told us it was probably too late, and indeed, they were not able to get to it. The TV had live channels but no streaming. There’s no gym, pool, or onsite parking. The only amenities were Wi-Fi, a hairdryer, and Keurig. It’s definitely not up to par with other similarly priced accommodations. I suspect it gets by mainly on the historic charm."

"It's a cheap motel. Not clean or modern but it had everything we needed. Staff were very friendly too"

"An old motel that has not been updated, or even well kept. We sensed that it may also be a "welfare" hotel. We booked it because it had good ratings, but in our opinion, those ratings were inflated. Right at the airport, but not noisy. Easy parking and pets stay free."

"Clean hotel inside and out. Valet team was professional, polite and prompt. Late checkout was easy. The room was clean and the bathroom was modern. "

"Room was in terrible condition. Floors were ripped up, paint was peeling off the walls, tried to get towels and they told me they had none. No one was ever at the front desk or answering the phone. They also don’t offer housekeeping on the weekends. Our toilet stopped working and instead of coming to fix it they handed my husband a plunger and told him to try that. Do not recommend this hotel."

"Very strong cigarette smoke smell in hallways, dark rooms, but very nice staff"

"Amazing location. Very cute and comfortable rooms. "

"Location is perfect for function attemding. Easy access to expressway. Have stayed before and love the room style. A little disappointed this time around. Only half a roll of TP and no extra roll in room. Batteries dead in one of remotes. Ended up using my own Also, only 2 tissues left. Left hanger on my door ar 6am for housekeeping to replinish tp and tissues, and coffee. Back to room at 12am and nothing. Hanger still on door. I read somewhere housekeepimg wbery 3rd day. I only stayed 2 but they should have seen thr amonites requeat on door. And honestly i dont think ive ever stayed in a hotel without an extra roll in the room Breakfast was okay bit no clean tables amd trash over flowing, and no juice cups. Hot tub workong, but no towels at pool. (Of.course bc ots the one tome i didnt bring my own towel). Front desk staff friendly. Hopimg most of this was a one off, and will stay again next time up in Richmond to attend my meeting, but if sme issies persist will habe to find a different place for future"
