About this property

Welcome to Residence Inn by Marriott Richmond Midtown/Glenside

Residence Inn by Marriott Richmond Midtown/Glenside is an informal, all-suite hotel located just a mile from Interstate 64 and roughly three miles from the University of Richmond. The setting offers convenient access to major local attractions such as the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden, and Maymont, each known for their extensive collections, gardens, and cultural significance.

The property features streamlined suites equipped with full kitchens, making it suitable for extended stays or travelers who prefer self-catering options. Guests benefit from amenities including free Wi-Fi, complimentary breakfast, free parking, a fitness center, and an indoor pool. The hotel is also pet- and kid-friendly, with accessible facilities and smoke-free accommodations. While housekeeping is limited to stays longer than three days, many guests appreciate the well-maintained and clean environment, as noted in reviews.

Guest feedback highlights a generally positive experience with the friendly and accommodating staff, though there are some mentions of occasional service inconsistencies. The breakfast options and additional features such as a lobby bar and on-site restaurant receive favorable comments. Some critiques include parking congestion due to shared lots and the need for updates in certain bathroom areas.

Given its location and suite-style rooms, this hotel is a practical choice for business travelers, families, and visitors seeking comfortable accommodations outside downtown Richmond. Its proximity to highways and Richmond International Airport, about 23 minutes by car, adds to its accessibility for various types of trips, from work-related stays to leisurely visits to the nearby cultural sites.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The staff was very accomodating. I was able to check into my room early and it was ready waiting for me. We had the Non-Private King room. The space was perfect for my husband and I. It was clean and very well maintained. Chose this hotel because it was close to a job I had to complete and already booked my next stay for here for another job that I have. Breakfast was really good but would have really appreciated it if turkey sausage was provided instead of pork. Other than that, I was very happy with my stay here

The staff was very communicative and accomodating. The room was clean and fully stocked. Walking around the hotel you felt they did a good job with keeping the campus clean. We were very comfortable throughout the stay

We needed a last-minute hotel and were happy to find this one! Dylan was very helpful in finding rooms for our group, going above and beyond. We were all impressed and felt well taken care of by the staff. The lobby had a bar, lots of options in the shop, and complimentary popcorn and other amenities. The rooms were very clean, the beds were comfortable, and we loved having the kitchen available. We would stay again!

Great place to stay if you don’t want to be downtown. Bring a mattress topper for the sofa bed it was the standard mattress in the sofa, so if you can handle that you’re good to go! Breakfast was the usual go-tos for complimentary. Staff was always very kind and helpful. It seemed to be at full capacity and it was a good visit. We were at the very end of the hall and around the corner the furthest from the elevator and it was quiet.

We've tried a few different hotels in the area, this one has by far been the best experience. Checked in with the lovely lady at the front desk (brown hair, 7/13), I missed her name but she was so nice and helpful, making us feel welcome. As a mixed family we don't get that every where we go. When it was checkout time, we went down to the front desk (a man this time) and asked to see if we could extend for another night, and he said rates were looking at $1000? I went online and booked the same room at the same hotel for the same price I did the day before. Not sure what he was looking at but that whole transaction felt weird. Haven't seen him since. All other staff, food, pool, ect has been wonderful.

This location was great for our needs. The rooms are comfortable and clean. The bathrooms could use an update. The kitchen is great! Special thanks to the gentleman who worked in the kitchen. The breakfast is so nice and I could tell how hard he was working. He was friendly and helpful. Of the 3 people working the desk, 2 were very nice and professional. The other person was on her personal phone twice when I entered and was not friendly at all.

Mixed feelings. The location is close to the freeway for easy access. The rooms are nice. However, we were told that there was no housekeeping service unless you’re staying for more than three days. There is a beautiful breakfast selection. Also, they did little things like had popcorn and flavored waters. The front desk employees seem to often be preoccupied.

Love this hotel! Rooms are huge and spacious, and come equipped with all the commodities you would need for a staying a whole week. Staff are all very friendly and accommodating, and this time we tried the food from the bar and had one of the best bacon cheeseburgers I’ve had in a long time! I think the chef’s name was Blaine, and he did an excellent job! Location is great. close enough to Scott’s addition for a cheap uber but far enough away from the city that it’s quiet. The only complaint I have is the parking. Unfortunately, this hotel shares a common lot with a neighboring hotel, and by around 9:00 all the main parking was gone.
