Overall Review of The Virginian

caveat 13 reviews mention this

Cleanliness is a clear divide

Cleanliness gets strong praise, but several reviews describe serious housekeeping and maintenance problems.

Some residents and families say the property is clean, well-kept, and even “spotless,” with people praising the overall appearance of the building and apartments. Other reviews are much harsher, citing issues like mold, dirty carpets, roaches, and unsanitary laundry areas. A few also mention long gaps in housekeeping, which adds to the concern for at-home living conditions.

Others describe dining as a problem, including food not served warm, menu items not matching what residents receive, and dining staff being short. Across reviews, people also note limited variety at times, which leaves some residents wanting more options.
