Good for a short stay!

Faith was amazing during my stay. Breakfast was tasty, the pool was nice and the room was clean although the tub area could use some updating. There was a strong smell in the room but went away after opening the window. Close to downtown Richmond.

Liked: Amenities
We stayed in a room with two queen beds. The room was a bit noisy, as I could hear every sound from the hallway — footsteps, conversations, and people moving luggage. There were stains on the bedsheets and pillowcases, which was disappointing. The refrigerator was old and tilted, and the microwave was also outdated. The coffee cups were chipped, and there was no hairdryer provided. On a positive note, the free breakfast was decent, offering eggs and sausage, but it lacked a waffle maker and yogurt. It was a disappointing room compared to price we paid.

This was the worst hotel we’ve ever booked on Expedia. The reviews were not accurate by any means. The hotel smelled like pot throughout and the cleaning staff had sprayed massive amounts of air freshener to cover it up. There were roaches in the bathroom, and the AC sounded like a truck engine all night and left all our belongings wet. Additionally, the bathroom had mold and the bedding appeared yellow. We couldn’t leave faster. Will never stay at another Best Western and will reconsider booking through Expedia from now on.

Lackluster facilities

Location was convenient. Staff was very friendly and breakfast was fantastic! The negatives included finding a cockroach in the bathroom of the first room we were assigned to. There was a musty mildew smell that couldn’t be overlooked. The tub also needed to be repainted to remove brown spots. We asked to be moved to another room and were accommodated but there was still a mildew smell. No complimentary water in the room . Let’s try a little harder Best Western Premiere. I’ve lodged at your brand before and this one was a disappointment.
