Great hotel in safe location

Great location and hotel, safe location and right outside of the main city of Richmond. Only issue we had was hotel staff still came into our room to clean it when we had the privacy sign on the door.

The hotel restaurant and pool was not operational. It was a big reason why I selected this hotel. I had a one day visit and I needed a swim to help my medical condition and a place to eat without having to drive somewhere. The hotel didn’t achieve my expectations due to lack of convenience.

Pro- Location is 15 minutes to downtown, Starbucks and gas station is near. Cons: No one was at the front desk upon arrival at around 12 am. We waited for a long time. Hotel is outdated, mattress are old and in bad condition and the bar was closed. The hallway had a strong smell. There were many young people right by my room door hanging out and I felt unsafe. Contacted front desk but no one responded. Not worth the price!

I haven't stayed in a best western in years. This property was clean, the bed and pillows were nice, and the toiletries provided were also nice. Property was clean, close to the interstate, and has a restaurant on property (restaurant was not open during my visit) Staff was attentive and friendly. There was a large soccer tournament so most other hotels were booked. Im glad I chose to give it a chance. I was pleasantly surprised. My only notice was the tub handle was weird but worked, the water pressure good, and the weird faucet did not impact use. It was like the metal used to connect the faucet was too long, nothing major.

Overall, the facilities were good. Before check out one of the rooms was having an issue with housekeeping, even though housekeeping was very loud and knocked on the door and announced themselves, but there was some words exchanged by the guests to housekeeping. There was a kid running up and down the hallway for a few minutes on one of the days that we stayed. But aside from all of that overall we had a good day.
