Omni Richmond Hotel
The room was very clean and comfortable, which made for a pleasant stay. I really enjoyed the indoor pool—it was a great feature. The only thing I wish the hotel had was a hot tub, as that would have made the experience even better. Overall, a good stay and I’d consider coming back.
