Top Shockoe Bottom Hotel Reviews

The Jefferson Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It was elegant, clean and special"

Wingate by Wyndham Richmond Short Pump

10/10 Excellent

"Everything at the hotel was amazing. We were thoroughly impressed and we will definitely be staying there again. I did want to let you know that the ice bucket in room 506 has a hole in it, so somebody might need to replace it for the next guest. Other than that, we didn't have any issues at all. Maybe a few more towels in the bathroom next time and it would have been absolutely perfect."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Richmond-Midlothian

8/10 Good

"The staff were very helpful and considerate, the rooms were clean, parking was sufficient. I thought the bed was too hard. The thermostat did not work in our room which we did not know until our second night when we needed heat. The staff was willing to offer another room, but we decided we just needed a couple of more blankets and did fine. Nice place to stay and close to everything."
