Hotels in Richmond, VirginiaA practical 3-star highway hotel south of downtown Richmond
7.7/10
A solid I-95 stopover with friendly staff, useful extras and occasional housekeeping misses.
This practical 3-star hotel just off I-95 is a good pick for a Richmond stopover or a short stay with a car. Recent Expedia and Tripadvisor guests repeatedly praise welcoming staff, comfortable beds and generally clean rooms. Free breakfast and parking add value, while Victory Bar & Grill makes dinner convenient after a long drive. We'd choose it for straightforward comfort rather than the upscale experience the Premier name might suggest.
The trade-off is consistency: some recent guests describe missed cleaning or room-readiness checks, although positive reports outweigh those complaints. It's also a driving base, not a downtown sightseeing hotel. The outdoor pool is seasonal; Expedia lists it closed August 29–May 30, including now. We'd skip it for a walkable city break or an autumn swim.
