Please - you should stay at The Jefferson Hotel. You really should. It was a great experience - and I say that as an experienced traveler ( IBM, Equifax, and other Road-Warrior ). The King room was massive and well-appointed. The staff - whenever we passed them were attentive and welcoming. Please - treat yourself - stay at Richmond's - The Jefferson Hotel.
