"Air conditioning was perfect, just preferred another hotel to this one"

Best Western Premier Richmond City Gateway

4/10 Poor

"This was my first stay at Best Western.The room they assigned us at first was not good,it smelled the curtains was clearly dirty and the sheets didn't look fresh. We were going to cancel our reservation but was informed by front desk we would be charged fully.So the young lady showed us another room which was not that much better but we stayed being it was only for two nights.the restaurant food for us was horrible,took one bite of the burger and we left.I personally would not recommend this location.The staff were amazing and very friendly.The pictures on the apps are an illusion compared to what it looks like when you get there.the water was green in the pool,just not a good look for us. I would give a one star"
