Hotel Information:
(Notice: the hotel no longer takes cash)
Our Club Socials are held near Richmond located in the central part of Virginia making it easily accessible throughout the state, DC, Maryland, and North Carolina.  About 2 to 3 hours from most Major Area areas.  The location of the party will be posted on the Event Page for that particular date.  This may change as some events may be modified due to unforeseen circumstances.

Special room rates apply for Virginia Friends members.  If you do plan on staying at the hotel during club events (recommended for maximum fun) please see the RSVP page for hotel reservation information.  We can not stress enough how important it is to make your reservations well in advance and to tell the hotel you are a Virginia Friends member.  If you do not tell the hotel you are a club member when you call. they have no way of knowing.  It is YOUR responsibility to inform the hotel of your membership status and to confirm your status the week of the social.  You must inform the hotel BEFORE you arrive to check-in.  Couples with RSVPs who do not inform the hotel that they are coming as a Virginia Friends member will automatically be booked as regular guests and will be placed farthest away from the party. This means you will not be assigned to the party floor room or receive a discount on the room. Walk-ins must also inform the hotel you are with VAF to receive the discount (if any) on the room but you will stand a much greater chance of not being assigned to the club floor.  You can make reservations up to 52 weeks in advance but PLEASE do not wait until the week of the social you wish to attend before trying to make a reservation.  The hotel is often booked solid during club events. There is a limited number of rooms reserved for the club and can be purchased through our website.  If the room tickets are sold out, you can still call the hotel directly and book a room.  Sometimes rooms are available just before the party.  So always call the hotel and check this website. Be sure to read our "Booking Policy" before booking a room through us.


This is important!  
1. If you call the hotel,  make sure you call the local number listed on the event.  Dial 0 for the front desk.  Make sure you don't get transferred to the national reservation system.  Always ask if you are talking to the actual hotel.  If the phones are busy, some hotels will automatically transfer you to that system.  They will not have a clue about what you're talking about.  Wait,  then call back again preferably during off-peak hours.
2. If you choose to use a discount broker such as Hotels. TripAdvisor, Travelocity, Priceline Dot Com,  then you will NOT be booked with our group and be put in another part of the hotel.  Consider if it's worth the extra bucks to have to walk to and from your room for food, drinks, bathroom, change of clothes, or cover up between the "After Hours" party.

Notes provided by the Hotel Management:
1. Call the local hotel number only,  keep in mind your reservation is not booked until you get a confirmation number from the hotel.  Please mention that you are with the Virginia Friends or "VAF" group.
2.  Cancellation policy is explained in the "Booking Policy" if you book through this website. If you book directly with the hotel then you need to contact them.
3.  Special room requests are just that - a request.  No rooms are guaranteed for any member.  However, The Management does everything they possibly can to accommodate everyone and unfortunately, that is not always possible.
4.  A valid credit card must be given to book a reservation.
5.   All reservations must be booked directly through the hotel to be with the group and to attend functions. Let them know you are with Virginia Friends and they will put you as close to the group as possible.
* Please be kind to the hotel Staff,  they love our group and look forward to us showing up every month!  Let's keep it that way.
