Omni Richmond Hotel
Staff are great and helpful. Parking attendant super helpful. The building is old and my room smelled like cigar smoke but the room are big and nice view of the river. The furniture is dated. Convenient restaurants like Starbucks and some fast food places within the building. Fitness center is small ...
