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.

Always a good experience when I stay at Drury Plaza in Richmond, Virginia. I left too early to have breakfast, but it has always been an asset to this stay.

Graduate by Hilton Richmond
The bathroom was impressively clean! Love the unique decor of the halls, rooms and lobby! Walls are a bit on the thin side but luckily most neighbors were pretty quiet at night!
