Studio 6 Richmond Airport
Our room did not have a hair dryer but the staff was very responsive to get us one. I was surprised we were in a Disability access room. It took forever for the water to warm up in the shower. Loved having the full size refrig and freezer!

The Jefferson Hotel
Probably the nicest hotel I’ve ever stayed in. We were in Richmond for a meetup with a bunch of college buddies and spouses. Totally blown away as soon as we drove up to hotel. And even more impressed after we entered. Staff was wonderful and attentive. Fabulous shower. Highly recommended.
