“Richmond must stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 27, 2012

From the warm greeting by general manager, Joseph Joyce, to the large, clean, spacious room, this is a travelers dream. Clean throughout. Comfortable bed. The room is huge: there was enough room to put a dining table in the corner or full size sofa. Flat screen tv. Lots of mirrors. Well done hotel. Joseph recommended Tripps restaurant, and he was right on. Upscale TGIF or Applebees. Ask the desk for a coupon and you'll receive an out of this world spicy shrimp appetizer for free. It's not even on the menu, a special deal for BW customers. The food was great. Quiet atmosphere with nice booths. All in all, we enjoyed this stay!

Room Tip: There are two building, so you probably want to stay in the main building, in the back. The entranc...

“A Hidden Gem”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 9, 2012

Like several other reviewers, we had difficulty finding the entrance (it's a driveway between the shopping center and an Asian restaurant). We chose this property based on other reviews and affordable prices. The rooms are large, clean and well-appointed. Staff at the front desk were very friendly and helpful. We plan to return in the Spring.

It was a bit difficult to find the entrance to the motel, but once found a very nice stay Breakfast was also not the most available,the biscuits and gravy did not look too welcoming. The people that checked us in and out were very nice.

“Surprisingly Nice”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 25, 2012

We recently stays at the Best Western Plus Governor's Inn in Richmond, VA and we were pleasantly surprised with the stay! When we walked into our room we were amazed at the sizeof the room. It was enormous! The room was extremely clean, including the bathroom. The hotel offers a complimentary breakfast including eggs, biscuits and gravy, waffles, and much, much more! The location was very convenient and yet it was slightly off the road, so no traffic noise to deal with. There was lots of exposed brick in the hallways which was very beautiful and charming.

Room Tip: Rooms in the main building are the best.
