The Jefferson lived up to our high expectations from the moment we arrived until our departure. The front desk was welcoming, efficient, and informative. The dining options were perfect; we especially enjoyed the selections for breakfast. The room was large, bright, and well-provisioned. Staff at all locations and levels was attentive and friendly.

The Perfect Richmond Home
From the moment we pulled up we felt at home at the Jefferson. Bakar was a warm, friendly face who welcomed us to our room. From there, we felt the rooms were tidy and the hotel is so beautiful it's hard to force yourself to leave. The perfect spot to stay for the Richmond marathon as starting line is right around the corner. Couldn't have been a better weekend!
