Best Western Premier Richmond City Gateway

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms and property were very clean. Staff was great and super helpful. Breakfast was perfect, will stay here again!"

Hilton Vacation Club The Historic Powhatan Williamsburg

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was clean but not being able to smoke on the balcony was a negative for me personally. I didn’t see this in the info when I booked. My family enjoyed it though."

The Commonwealth

8/10 Good

"Lovely room, sloppy execution The suite itself was great, and I’d happily stay here again. But for this price point, a few things felt surprisingly unpolished. Check-in was disorganized. Staff didn’t seem sure what was going on, I was handed off to a second person midway through, and it felt like the valet team was covering for the front desk. Our King Suite sleeps three, yet there were no extra pillows or blankets in the room. When we called down at 2 a.m., the hotel was out and had to pull bedding from an unoccupied room. To their credit, it arrived quickly, but it shouldn’t have been necessary. The room also had very little sound insulation. Even at the end of the hall, we heard the elevator ding every single time. None of this ruined the stay, but these are details I’d expect a hotel at this level to have nailed down. A solid four stars, with an easy path to five."

Omni Richmond Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely stunning hotel and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay pleasant! We will definitely be back if we ever need to come to Richmond again!"

Graduate by Hilton Richmond

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay in Richmond. Located within a half mile of VCU’s medical campus and also close to Richmond’s city center. There are restaurants within a few minutes walking distance and a cute coffee shop too. The hotel itself has a cozy and modern feel. The staff were friendly and helpful! Would stay again!"

King’s Creek Resort by Spinnaker

10/10 Excellent

"My experience here was amazing. It was everything I expected and then some. It's great place for a solo trip or a family trip."

The Jefferson Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staying at the Jefferson is like stepping into an old movie set in a beautiful hotel (and I am sure it has in fact "starred" in a few movies). The hotel is immaculate and the staff are friendly and helpful. The room was inviting and, honestly, I think the bed is one of the most comfortable I've ever slept in — perfect mattress, perfect pillows, cool sheets. We hope we can have another little getaway there someday!"

Hilton Vacation Club Greensprings Williamsburg

10/10 Excellent

"Nice and spacious, steps were challenging getting to top floor but we survived. Prep us up for walking busch Gardens"
