Absolutely the worst hotel I ever stayed in. Room was disgusting, window was open when we go into the room, spider on the wall. Cobwebs in the corner of the room. Nothing about this hotel should have 4.5 rating.

My complaint is not with the Richmond Clarion. I don’t like being denied Choice Privilege Reward Points because I booked my reservation through an online third party (Orbitz). HELLO! I chose to stay at a Choice Hotels property! I spent money with Choice Hotels! I tried booking through Choice Hotels first - but the price (with DISCOUNT) is usually $10-30 higher! Make it more attractive to book directly - and I will.

Good service, bad hotel

We had 2 rooms booked on a friday night. We checked in and the guy behind the counter was super nice. Once we entered the rooms, we noticed it was really warm. Thought we would give it some time to cool down, so we went swimming. Pool needed a filter turned on or something as there were floaters everywhere. The guy behind the desk tried to fix our A/Cs. My room was ok, but the other room was still hot and muggy. So he switched rooms for that one. Later on that night, i went to use the use the phone and it was broke. I moved it to see if it was unplugged and some hardshell bugs (you know the ones) ran out. Went down to the desk and told the guy the same thing. Again, he was super nice and moved us to another room. Also, a bit out of order, but the door entering the room was broke as well. If i had to base this review off the service, i would go back. Unfortunately im baseing it off the hotel.....and i would never use that one again

Bed was comfortable. Carpet was dirty. We found a pill on the floor before our 1 year old did which was good (but unnerving). Breakfast was as expected for this type of hotel. Coffee was good.

Water took 20 minutes to get hot for showers. Floor had not been mopped in forever, extremely dirty. When we were checked in, the room we were assigned had the door open when we got to the room. Pool was not usable and was not disclosed up front. Staff was friendly in general except for one lady. We checked out and left a day early, forfeited the cost of one nights stay. We had to go somewhere else due to the conditions. We travel alot for work, ministry and personal reasons and this was one of the toughest aces we have experienced. I am typically fair in all reviews and do them often. As a previous business owner, I k ow full well the impact of reviews. I dont like gicing negative reviews. This place needs improvement in a big way.

The first room we had smelled musky and like urine! We then switched rooms, but it wasn’t much better. There was no toilet paper or hand soap in the bathroom either. This would not be my first choice for a hotel, but our options were limited.

I expect three things from a hotel room. Always. Comfortable bed, safe (deadbolt lock in the door), and a hot shower. This hotel is rated 8.4 -do not believe it! I had NO hot water for a shower. I had steaming hot water coming from the sink - so hot it could burn your skin. Buyer beware! You may see multiple listings for a room on Expedia. Watch out that you do not choose an ADA accessible room by mistake. I could not switch when I arrived since I paid through a third party.

No elevators at all, so be prepared to carry your luggage up the stairs. Other then that the stay was pleasant, breakfast was good and the beds were comfortable!
