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

Comfort Inn Petersburg Near Fort Gregg-Adams

5/5 Excellent

"Stayed overnight at Comfort Inn Petersburg Fort Lee 5/2, I was initially concerned upon arrival, seeing "Sold out" signs on the front door, but check-in went very well. The 2 ladies at the desk were very friendly and provided helpful advice regarding local dining options, of which the were several. The room was quite quite clean and comfortable. I did appreciate having a comfortable easy chair, in addition to the desk chair, in which to sit while calling home to provide a travel update. And the king size bed was quite comfortable, an important favor since a good night's sleep was critical between 2 long days on the road. Despite the full house, the room was very quiet, even though it was on the first floor, close to the lobby. And breakfast in the morning was excellent: fluffy scrambled eggs and sausage and a fresh waffle for me, along with cereals, yogurts, hard boiled eggs, toast, muffins, etc., and of course, coffee and OJ. It may have been due to the full house, but it seemed I got the last cup of waffle batter, and dominant the last cup of coffee from the dispensing carafe. Nevertheless, I checked out with a full charge, ready for the drive home. As this location is convenient to my travel route, I will be back. "

"I unfortunately did not get the young ladys name, but the night receptionist when I checked in was very nice and extremely helpful. She notified me immediately of an issue with the hot water in the hotel and that it was being repaired as we spoke. I thought she handled what I'm sure was a difficult evening dealing with some unhappy guests with professionalism and grace. The hotel should be proud to have such dedicated, professional and pleasant personnel representing their property!"
