Good but there was people smoking in the hallway

The stay was very good in the room, it was very clean, but I didn't like that at 2 in the morning there were people smoking marijuana outside my door and talking very loudly. The smell of marijuana was very intense and the people were talking very loudly.

Great hotel in safe location

Great location and hotel, safe location and right outside of the main city of Richmond. Only issue we had was hotel staff still came into our room to clean it when we had the privacy sign on the door.
