Telisa

So once at the counter to check in I was given a more than expected amount to check in so I questioned it and was told they require a $25 per night incidental deposit but Hotels.com says $50 for the entire stay. So the lady that was trying to check me in made it like its always $25 per night and Im like Im staying 5 nights so basically Best Western missed out on $600 because they could not hold $125

Clean property and amenities. The staff were professional and friendly. The area was quiet and right off 95 south. It’s about 10 minutes south of downtown Richmond. Theres a restaurant at the hotel but I didn’t try out the menu because it was closed because we got there but there is a Starbucks across the street. I would stay there again.
