The downtown location puts guests in the middle of the action in rooms with free Wi-Fi and flat-panel TVs at the non-smoking Courtyard by Marriott Richmond Downtown. The non-smoking Courtyard greets guests with a modern lobby in its six-story property. The 135 rooms have a contemporary vibe and are outfitted with free Wi-Fi, flat-panel TVs and an iPod dock, as well as the convenience of a microwave and coffeemaker. The on-site restaurant has breakfast and dinner menus, and guests can get to work in the business and fitness centers. Other pluses include a 24-hour front desk, laundry service and valet parking. Nestled among the cobblestone streets of historic Shockoe Slip, the Courtyard is a few blocks from I-95 in downtown Richmond. Plenty of shops and restaurants occupy the surrounding blocks, and in less than 10 minutes, guests can walk to the Virginia State Capitol, MCV Campus or the Richmond Main Street Station. Guests can attend events at the Greater Richmond Convention Center or the Altria Theater, within two miles, or a race at Richmond International Raceway, a 15-minute drive. Other popular spots within five miles include Maymont, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and the Arthur Ashe Center. Richmond International Airport is 11 miles east.
