Virginia State University is a public, historically black college located in Petersburg, Virginia. The university is the first fully supported, four year institution for African Americans in the United States and is one of two land-grant colleges in the State of Virginia.

The university was founded on March 6, 1882 as the Virginia Normal and College Institute after the state legislature passed a bill sponsored by Delegate Alfred W. Harris, a black attorney, which chartered the university. The state established the university to serve the needs of a population that was at the time excluded from other public institutions in Virginia. Virginia Normal and College Institute opened as a teacher training college for both male and female black students but it also included a modest liberal arts curriculum. @ Virginia State University

5/5 Excellent

"The hotel is very nice and clean. Room was clean and comfortable. We arrived after and the front desk lady went and found a luggage carrier for me which was great! Didn’t want to carrier all the luggage we had. The front desk ladies were very nice and friendly. The hotel has easy access for smokers to go thru side doors with your key card. I like that a lot. Breakfast was great! They even had a pancake maker that makes two pancakes in one minute. Never seen that before. I love my stay here and I advise others to stay here as well. They even helped with my billing and booking. Had a little trouble on my end not their fault and they were very helpful and understanding about my situation. "

"The hard mattress was my only complaint. I didn’t sleep well, but the hotel room was very nice and clean. The property was nice and had a pool outside. Overall I enjoyed my stay. I would recommend this hotel for a quick overnight stay. "
