Home2 Suites by Hilton Richmond Short Pump
Finally - an area that has good dining options! Thus far every Hilton hotel I’ve stayed at has been great especially the staff - there is rarely a good place to eat at. Check out Farm + Oak about 15 minutes down the road in Glen Allen. Hotel and staff are awesome as always with Hilton hotels.
