Hilton Richmond Hotel & Spa/Short Pump
The room was clean. The sheets had an unpleasant smell. The maintenance should check the outlet in the bathroom as hair dryer and curler kept falling out of the socket. Gaps around shower door allowed water to escape. The front desk emplyee was very nice as were the restaurant staff.

Clean room. Nice staff - extremely curteous and helpful. Good breakfast - a bit better than at most comparable hotels.

Home2 Suites by Hilton Richmond Short Pump
Dining options in the area and the staff are excellent. The hotel breakfast is incredibly underwhelming. The advertising in the elevator does not match what was offered but it could have been a lot worse. Not bad if you’re into sub par precooked/reheated food
