Linden Row Inn
Lovely room. Lovely city. Didn’t use too many amenities, but it seemed lovely. Would return! Little strange to have Edgar Allen Poe staring at you in your room, but no Knocking.

Quirk Hotel Richmond
The hotel is gorgeous! Our second stay. My only complaint was the heating unit. It ran every 15 min and sounded like a plane getting ready to take off. No sleep. They also had a snow storm a week prior. Street with valet was a sheet of ice. Extremely dangerous and almost impossible to load and unload ...

Omni Richmond Hotel
The room is clean and comfortable. The location is great, love the easy access to Starbucks and Chick Fil A for quick bites and coffee right downstairs. Logging into free wifi a little tricky but quickly resolved.
