Top Shockoe Bottom Hotel Reviews

Studio 6 Richmond Airport

10/10 Excellent

"It’s nice"

Omni Richmond Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very accommodating. We had a small issue with our room. I called and they moved us to a nicer room. The next day, the front desk sent me a fruit and cheese plate. The indoor patio restaurant and the indoor roof top pool were hits with our family. We will definitely use the Omni next time we are in Richmond and will look for this chain in our travels."

Wingate by Wyndham Richmond Short Pump

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, spacious rooms. Great breakfast. My only quibble is that I’ve visited this hotel twice, six years apart, and on each visit they had huge industrial fans set up in the lobby to dry out a flood. The noise made it difficult to carry out a conversation at the reception desk and it did carry through to the breakfast area too."
