Check in was awful. The guy at the desk took a super long time to check us in. As we were checking in a tow company kept coming in and asking about cars with out hotel tags hanging from the mirror to tow away. They were about to take a picture of mine and my husband stopped them. They dont accept credit cards there so you have to give a cash deposit and then at check out they go up and check your room before you leave and then if its ok, they return your cash deposit.

What may have once been a good hotel has been reduced to staying in a crack house. Warnings taped to walls about towing cars, no drugs and no weapons. Any police activity will result in eviction. I literally was scared to stay here. What attracted me was the price but I guess you get what you pay for.

Property needs to be renovated. There aren't any refrigerators in the rooms. No ice machines, but has ice buckets. The towels are dingy. I spilled some water on the bathroom floor. When I wiped it with a tissue, it became black. There was long hair left on the bathroom from a previous customer . Note, I'm bald.

The front desk staff was friendly and accommodating during check in. The entire hotel smelled of stale smoke and alcohol. The room was smokey, there were beer cans, and ashes fromnthe previous guest. There were roaches and mold in the bathroom.

I took some pictures of what me any my family had to forcibly had to accept because the hotel did not give back refunds! You’ll see roach, tv didn’t work, stains all over the room, water came out yellow, the Elevator went down almost got stuck with us in it. And room service never came to clean and patience was short with customers and when We needed 2 more pillows was denied.

Disaster at Akaza
The place was horrible, it was a welfare hotel, it smelled and was not taken care of. There was no maid service and no towel service. The hall ways were dark and dingy, the elevator had something spilled on the wall and it smelled. I will never, ever go to this place. Also i was charged 85.00 per night and the price on the billboard was 59.99 per night. Total disaster and should not be a hotel that is part of the Hotel.com offerings.

This was the WORST mistake I could have made. We needed a room just got the night since having house work done. Found this and from check in to check out it was horrible. Dirty! Had wait 1.25 hours for them change linen because it was dirty! Then comforter she changed to had a 2 inch hole in it. Then the bathroom shower curtain had MOLD on it. There were bugs in the bathroom floor ! I can’t believe I used my hard earned money here. This is a JOKE.

If you’re just looking for a place to sleep...
I paid for my stay through Hotels.com. Prior to checking in, I received an email saying that I was to pay a $3.00 tourism fee per night and put down a $50 cash deposit. I called Hotels.com customer service to attempt to switch hotels but that would incur a substantial fee. When I was shopping for a hotel, I was doing it based on price. I don’t want any surprise fees upon arrival. The WiFi was unreliable. There was no refrigerator. There was a picture of a restaurant seemingly within the hotel on the website however there wasn’t a restaurant in which I could eat. There was no daily cleaning service. There was no breakfast or even coffee in the lobby. Completely bare bones hotel. I could have paid less nightly and gotten more. The staff there did treat me kindly.

Not what I was expecting. Required cash for entire bill. Required $50 cash extra that was returned in the morning AFTER room was inspected. Staff was courteous. Room was very sparse (no cups, not even one plastic one). Hotel.com is a rip off, daily rate was $15 less than "Special Coupon". Definitely not using this service again.

Akaza - UNSAFE... AVOID
We booked a stay at the Akaza hotel while returning from a family vacation in NC. We decided to stop in Richmond to seek out and visit certain points of interest. I paid in advance for two nights at the Akaza through Hotels.com believing that I was booking accommodations in a clean business conference center hotel... NOPE. The business that is conducted at rooms in this hotel are not the kind that taxes are paid on. We didn't feel safe from the moment we arrived. My car was being prepared for towing by an aggressive "bandit" tow truck operator, within 15 minutes of arriving, while I was checking-in, and within 30 feet of the front door of the hotel (in the hotel's lot). A $50 CASH security deposit was required, the sheets and pillows were unclean, the shower curtain had mold, the room carpet had been soiled by unimaginable substances, there was an offensive odor in the room, and throughout the hotel, no iron, no wash cloths, no maid service unless you call for it. The key/door for the first room did not work, so we had to be given another room. The staff was unprofessional and 3 bottles of Corona beer were clearly visible on the staff's desk at the check-in counter. We checked-out after 2 hours. Our safety, and the preservation of my car and property, were more important than the cost of a 2-night stay. There was no manager on duty to express our concerns, only the staff with beer. Akaza refused to refund. Hotels.com offered $80 coupon for a future visit.

Unsanitary
We arrived and checked in to the hotel which the sign face was literally falling off. The staff checked us in and required a cash deposit of 50.00. Upon entering the room the refrigerator was not plugged in, and the ice machine was no longer in the building, we later noticed a rat trap in the place it used to be. We checked the coffee pot to ensure there would be coffee for the AM. The filter was full of mold. The pot was replaced by a house keeper in street shorts and t-shirt that explained she came right over to take care of it after just opening her first alcoholic beverage. She seemed to live at the hotel? We left for the race in Richmond. Upon our return, we began to settle into the room. I turned back the sheets and went to move the decorative pillows to discover large rodent feces under the pillows. One of the pillows was actually chewed into. We immediately notified the desk we would be checking out and expecting a refund. They tried to offer an upgraded room. We had a loss in confidence at this point. We requested a full refund and were told to contact Expedia and Expedia would refund it. My boyfriend called his bank and we tried to call Expedia to explain the issue but the person who took the call was very difficult to understand and asked that we email.

Terrible
Once I arrived to the hotel, I realized that it wasn’t up to my expectations from the photos. The hotel looked like low encome housing from the outside. The hallways and room smelled like a locker room. And the room had an outdated tv from the early 2000s.

Sleep in your car
I will list the many reasons not to book here: -No one mans the front desk. You have to call a number to get someone to come out the back (at all hours) -There are crazy fees for everything. A $3 tourism fee. . .in Richmond, VA? A $50 hold is placed on your card for 7 days. Late check-out (we are talking 30 minutes) is $15. -It was 11:30am when we were preparing to leave and Shanta, the manager, literally came into our room and demanded we leave unless we gave her $15 for being there past 11am. -Shanta refused to give me her business card or contact information so I could file a complaint about the hotel. When I asked her for her name, she claimed she did not give this information out. Her name was on our "itemized bill" though. -The rooms were very dirty and nothing worked - phones and TV were broken, there was used soap and dirty towels in the bathroom -Very sketchy area -No service whatsoever -Pretty sure our "cash only" charges were all pocketed as the itemized statement they gave us did not allocate the funds we gave appropriately for a receipt

GO ELSEWERE
So, my main reason for picking this place a price point. Even at $75 am night or something like that I would expect clean sheets. No. No clean sheets here, you could clearly see urine stains in the sheets. Ew. The bath towels smelled like dirty laundry. And what really bothered me is thi place is hardly a hotel, it's more less a homeless shelter. Atleast on my level you could hear EVERYONE! And it's noises that you don't need your kids hearing either. The elevator barley worked, and the other one was taped of with a "wet floor" sign in front of it. The main manager was the only good thing about that place. When I checked in I requested a room overlooking the parking lot to keep an eye on my car. The afternoon / night worker, when I checked in responded with "no we can't put yo there, we don't want to run the A/C with the sun coming in. What! At that point I wasn't going to even argue after driving a full day. And the thing that really made me mad was later on that night you could see the side I requested to be on had several lights on and movements / people in. And finally, that place needs to be shut down, it's clearly someone money laundering business and the room cleaning service is clearly ran by one of the homeless people that live there.

Negative 5 stars
Front desk was the only good thing about the hotel. The gentleman was very friendly. After that everything goes down hill. After getting my room keys, I get on the elevator which smelled like feet and cigarettes. Upon arrival in the room, I discovered that there was make up on the pillows, sheets and comforter. BLOOD was Also on the comforter also. The carpet in the room was disgusting! The towels were stiff! Did not receive a new roll of toilet paper! I also had to take my trash to the dumpster. This is by far the most inconvenient hotel I've stayed in. Never staying here again! Please do yourself a favor and book somewhere else.

I had troubles booking on app.Called and spoke to rep who referred me here,said only available.it had gotten late and I needed a room.Rep was nice but room/hotel was disgusting.Inadequate parking,smelly,dirty,carpet had ripples,no water in pool,air unit barely ran in both rooms,asked for wash cloth since I did not have one-never received after requesting twice,room phone did not work I had to go to front desk where you had to wait forever for help. This at $114 is over priced and I felt ripped off. This hotel is disgusting with extremely poor customer service and amenities. I should be refunded or receive a complimentary booking somewhere else. This was the worst IG ever stayed.

convenient location
I booked this hotel thinking it was in a different location but it turned out convenient to food and transport. Just off I-95 and I-64. Excellent value for money. Showing some wear and tear but everything important was in good working condition. I had no problems at all. Room was nicer than the one we paid more for in Virginia Beach a few days before. No problems with noise or other guests. And not only do you get a Gideons in your room. You get a Bhagavad Gita! Loved that little touch.

RVA-Not a pleasant stay
I come to Richmond often to see a play or attend a concert on my days off. I can honestly say that I was excited to find the same hotel that I stayed at during a previous trip to Richmond Virginia. (This was short lived.) Although location wise the are is not far from downtown and there are plenty of dining, shopping, and entertainment options; sadly this is the last time I will be staying at this hotel. I felt the quality of this hotel has gone downhill very fast. The knob on my closet door was not attached in a secure manner. The toilet seemed to make noises on it's own throughout the night. Although this room appeared to be clean; I felt physically sickened after my stay. I would not recommend a stay at this hotel to anyone. In the future I will choose other options in the near future.
