Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Clean property and amenities. The staff were professional and friendly. The area was quiet and right off 95 south. It’s about 10 minutes south of downtown Richmond. Theres a restaurant at the hotel but I didn’t try out the menu because it was closed because we got there but there is a Starbucks across the street. I would stay there again.
