Northside Hotel Guide - Hotels with Air Conditioning in Northside, Richmond

"100% a crack shack … do not stay. As soon as we checked in I was told our room was on the 4th floor and the elevator was broken and no other rooms available, mmk. When we pulled around the back to our room, there was a hooker in a green ripped up stripper outfit hollering at us from one of the balconies asking if we lived around here… there were multiple run down men smoking out front of the lower ground level rooms that I believe they lived in. We’re not even in the building yet … The front doors were broken and wedged open, there were boards up everywhere much like you do for abandoned buildings. So then we needed to walk up cold stairs to the fourth floor, which it wrecked of marijuana and there was a junkie more than likely a prostitute hanging in the stair way … the room was dated and old, the faucet to bathroom sink just hanging, … the bed was wobbling like crazy, marks of substance all over the comforter and pillows. I left and bought new blankets and pillows for the night, along with disinfecting spray, wipes and air purifier. The room wrecked of smoke the entire time despite all the nonsmoking signs hanging all throughout the hall. With the elevator being broken I can’t imagine anyone going up there to clean anything … especially not the two sleeve ball men working the front desk. "

"I have stayed there twice in the last few weeks due to a family member’s medical needs. Both times the elevators were either not working or barely working. It’s scary to not know whether you will suddenly be stuck on an elevator. "

"Exceeded my expectations "

"Yes"

"Not clean. In the middle of the night all the plumbing sounded."

"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."

"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."
