Top hotels in Shockoe Slip
The Berkeley Hotel
The hotel is outdated, even the updated rooms. It’s very dark The restaurant staff was not friendly and the lobby/restaurant smelled like cigarette smoke. They lock the doors at night and give you a key to get in, which made me feel very unsafe about the area.

Courtyard by Marriott Richmond Downtown
We stayed for two nights and I don’t know what was going on, but we got no housekeeping so I asked for extra towels. It took 3 requests before I got them. This is not the service you expect with a Marriott brand.
