Hotels near SATURDAYS, Hopewell

Stayed here the night before a very early flight out of RIC. The young lady at the front desk seemed very confused when we arrived. We had checked in through the app ahead of time, and only needed to pick up our key. At first she couldn't find our reservation in the system. When I told her we had checked in online, she eventually found A key in a box on the side. We went to the room, unloaded our stuff, then were going out for dinner. I noticed the name written on the back of our room card sleeve was not mine. So I stopped again at the desk....and turns out she had given us the wrong room key, so we were in the wrong room. She didn't really know how to fix that and her response was basically ”oh well”. Fortunately I kept pressing to get it corrected, and the Manager finally came over and made the change. Luckily, no other guests showed up that night in our room, thinking it was theirs.

First of all, it's not a terrible hotel. Staff is nice, the rooms are nice, and its clean. However, ANY coffee drinker knows the first thing they want upon waking is fresh good coffee. I woke up hungry and wanted my coffee, so when I went down to the lobby looking for where they kept the coffee. The only coffee you can get you have to buy from their bistro. I don't know anyone that wants to stand in line for a dang cup of coffee 2 minutes after they wake. I stood there for 5 minutes waiting for a person to serve me. Nothing. I went back to the desk and they said she was in the back and would be available shortly. I continued to wait and became very agitated. So I went behind their counter and was going to serve myself. I could not figure out where to get the coffee from. So then I went into their staff kitchen (twice) to find them so I could have a cup of coffee. I yelled out for anyone and No one was back there! I finally gave up and went back to my room and drank the nasty room coffee and had to go without eating breakfast because you have to buy it and wait for staff that seem to not exist. These bistros getting put into the hotels are to make more money and that's whatever, but you now have an obligation to ”serve.” And coffee is extremely important you'd better be on your game. Now I feel like when I book I will always avoid places like this because this incident ruined my day. Lastly, their staff smoke cigarettes right outside the door making the entire lower level smell like a bar. Get your COFFEE together people!
