Best Western Premier Richmond City Gateway

10/10 Excellent
"Best Western Premier Richmond City Gateway is located just off of I-95 a few miles south of downtown Richmond in an industrial area that includes a sprawling Philip Morris complex and a large Amazon warehouse. I found the hotel and its grounds to be fairly clean and well kept. The staff was friendly in my limited interactions with employees. The complimentary breakfast was decent. My room was clean. The room was relatively spacious and had a mini fridge as well as a microwave. Options for walking in the vicinity of the hotel are fairly limited due to the industrial nature of the neighborhood. I was not sure what to expect when I booked my stay at this property, but I was positively impressed. I would likely stay here again the next time I pass through Central Virginia. Thank you very much to the hotel owners and staff for keeping things clean!"

"Terrific location; enormous, comfortable rooms (especially the “roomy” suites). The suites are great for socializing. Beautiful rooms and very well appointed, decorated, and updated. The staff was excellent. The only downside is that it’s an old property that seems to have mold/mildew issues (you can smell it and even see it on the window frames)."
