During a time where TSA wait times are nightmarish, I couldn't appreciate my hometown airport more…read more My flight was boarding at 6:40pm out of B9; I was dropped off at the airport at 6:32pm and was through TSA and at my gate by 6:42pm. Where else is that possible? I couldn't be more grateful for it. Quaint and cozy, easy to navigate and bound to have a rotating exhibit about Virginia history (as a former high school history teacher, I can't help but notice the opportunities to learn while waiting in the airport's tiny atrium for other arrival passengers or before your own flight takeoff?), I'd choose the calmness of this airport (almost) anyday. If only they had more connecting flights!

Meh. I know how badly this area needed a "mall" but for how long it's been and seeing what is here…read moreI'm disappointed. No Panera's Bread, Starbucks, DTLR or Foot Locker. It appears the clothing stores around here seem like they're completely missing the demographics of local neighborHOODs like of Seven Gables, St Paul's area and Varina. Doesn't seem like much is here for guys.. at all. Either way it doesn't matter it's usually dead here except for the restaurants like Olive Garden, Chik Fil A and Red Lobsters. What is strange is that everything here ..and near here seems to be a mini version of their West End counterparts. The Best Buy across the street, The Red Lobster.. all are noticbly smaller. There is a roundabout for some odd reason, and 70% of the area is empty parking lot. You'll ask yourself "wow do people around here know how to drive?!" the answer is likely no since two high schools are about 15 minutes away and the international airport is also close by..plus it's still new so you're getting a mix of newbies on the road dealing with a roundabout. Long story short I would not be surprised to see this place go the way of this area's last mall, Eastgate aka Fairfield Commons that's only 5 or so minutes down the street. People here are very rude except for Chikfila or whatever. I will never go to the GameStop here again, it' was my first time experiencing a ghetto GameStop. The employees wear urban clothes, du rags howeer you spell it.. kids are always in here and it's the size of a closet with maybe 2 bins of used games that are still fairly new and from this gen. Short Pump is still the best shopping center.

That's two blocks from the Virginia Capitol and many Virginia government offices. Easy in, easy out. Push a button to get the ticket when you arrive and feed the ticket and your cash or credit card when you leave. Parking spaces are a good size and while the ceilings are low, it is decently lit. I was not especially concerned about security here. A couple of tight corners is all. All day, the lot is $25. That's a big piece of change and you can be sure that I'll be looking for something more cost-effective when I return to Richmond. [Review 11955 overall, 1737 of 2019.]

I know this is fairly odd to write a review about a parking garage, but I wanted to note a couple…read moreof things that I was slightly irritated about. We were excited about taking our boys down to James Center in order to see the lighting of the Christmas tree there and the surrounding buildings and trees, etc. We were pleased to see that the rumot that there was $3 parking was a reality. Considering how many people were at the event the fact that there was even parking available in the parking garage was a relief regardless what level we were on. I gave a star for each plus that we experienced. One big annoyance was that the signs to direct folks to the exit were few and far between --which actually presents a safety hazard. If you are really trying to find your way out and you are looking for the hard to identify 'exit' signs in the spirit of 'where's Waldo,' then you may not catch a car backing out in time or pedestrians walking to the elevator or their own vehicle. We were also irritated that the parking attendant told us she didn't have any change. This was so odd and we didn't know hpw she figurd she would handle the massive amount of vehicles exiting the garage.

My husband and I arrived at Morton's The Steakhouse at approximately 6 p.m. on February 14th to…read morehave a wonderful dinner for Valentine's Day. Unfortunately, when we arrived the valet service had 2 attendants (1 female and 1 male) trying to service a large number of customers. We parked our SUV in a line of 4 to 5 cars, all waiting to be parked. In addition to the 2 attendants trying to park the line of cars, they also had customers leaving the establishment and waiting for their vehicles. This should have been a WARNING sign for us! We brushed the concern aside and handed our key to the woman attendant, whom seemed quite frazzled with the volume of customers. Overall, we trusted that a high-quality restaurant would also employ a high-quality valet service. Unfortunately, that was NOT the case! After enjoying an awesome dinner with great service, we waited in a line along with other customers to retrieve our vehicle. At this point, the valet service had 3 attendants (1 female and 2 males). Once again, they seemed overwhelmed with the number of cars and were literally running around to get cars parked or returned. Mistakenly, my husband and I didn't want to delay this process any further and quickly provided the attendant with a tip and left. The next morning we noticed that the right front-end fender had some minor damage. We immediately took pictures and forwarded them to one of the managers at Morton's and advised of the situation. The manager, in turn, forwarded the information to the valet company. On February 16th, we received a call from Christopher Bystryk, Sr., president of Guardian Parking Management Services. He said that he planned to go to the parking deck to see if he could find any white paint on the wall. Really? Are you serious? While waiting for Christopher to "investigate" on his end, we took our vehicle to the body shop for an estimate and emailed it to him. The estimate was approximately $700 plus the rental car expense. After some back and forth and a promise to follow-up with us on February 22nd, he finally called on the 23rd. He said Guardian couldn't prove that one of their attendants caused the damage; therefore, his company wouldn't cover the repair but instead offered us $250. Where is your integrity? Where was the integrity of your employees on the night of February 14th? What ever happened to doing the right thing? Guardian was provided a picture of the damaged area, as well as pictures of the entire vehicle. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to surmise that the damage came from a parking deck! No one should EVER trust their vehicle to anyone working for this company!!
