Every TownePlace Suites property offers pet-friendly accommodations, spacious all-suite layouts, fully-equipped kitchens, and enhanced outdoor spaces, making them exceptionally well-suited to cater to the diverse needs of extended-stay guests. After more than two decades in the industry, the brand continues to excel and expand its presence, with recent additions in sought-after leisure and road trip destinations like TownePlace Suites by Marriott Dallas Rockwall in Texas and TownePlace Suites By Marriott Tampa Clearwater in Florida.

Diana Plazas, Senior Vice President and Global Brand Leader of Select Brands at Marriott International, remarked, “TownePlace Suites has experienced remarkable growth and success as a preferred choice for modern-day travelers, and the addition of TownePlace Suites Richmond Colonial Heights to the portfolio is truly noteworthy. We remain committed to expanding our footprint to offer guests uninterrupted living experiences.”

Situated just south of Richmond, the 131-room hotel features spacious studio and one-bedroom suites equipped with high-speed internet, complete kitchens, and the signature Elfa closet system from The Container Store, available at all TownePlace Suites hotels. On-site amenities include a complimentary hot breakfast, a fully stocked lobby bar, and premium stainless steel Weber Grills in the hotel’s outdoor patio area, complete with tools, spices, and seasonings for guest use.

Lee Gregg Adams Army base.

As a pioneer in the extended-stay hotel sector, TownePlace Suites by Marriott caters to both business and leisure travelers, offering programs like “Something Borrowed” that lend guests a wide range of items they may need during their stay, from kitchen appliances to family board games. Complementing these offerings are amenities such as complimentary breakfast, on-site laundry facilities, refreshing pools, pet-friendly accommodations, and the signature In-A-Pinch Market.
