The Spotlight on Best Western Plus Richmond

Easy Comfort Near Richmond’s Top Music Spots

Modern and welcoming, the Best Western Plus Richmond Airport Hotel is a solid pick for concert-goers looking for convenience and comfort. Just 2.2 miles from Richmond International Airport, this hotel offers a free airport shuttle, making it easy to get in and out without hassle. With free WiFi, a seasonal outdoor pool, and cozy rooms equipped with a microwave, fridge, cable TV, and a work desk, it’s a great mix of practicality and comfort.

Why Concert-goers love it

The hotel’s location makes it a great base for those catching a show in Richmond. It’s just a short drive to major venues like the Richmond International Raceway and downtown music halls. The free shuttle to nearby restaurants is a huge plus for grabbing a bite after a show. Guests also appreciate the quiet atmosphere—ideal for recharging after a loud night out—and the flexible 3:00 PM check-in time.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends heading to a gig together
  • Solo travelers catching a bucket-list performance
  • Couples making a music-filled weekend of it
  • Fans looking for a quiet place to crash post-show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who don’t want to skimp on comfort

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, the hotel offers a daily continental breakfast—perfect for late risers after a big night. Guests can also take the free shuttle to nearby dining spots like TGI Fridays, Olive Garden, and Red Lobster. In-room microwaves and fridges make late-night snacking easy, and 24/7 fast food options are within a short drive.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t have a bar or live music, it’s a short ride to Richmond’s bustling nightlife. Bars, lounges, and clubs are just a Lyft or Uber away. If you prefer low-key evenings, the quiet surroundings here are ideal for winding down.

What People Say

Guests love the friendly staff, clean rooms, and how easy it is to get around thanks to the free shuttle and proximity to the airport. Many reviewers mention how surprisingly quiet it is despite being near the airport. The value for money is another big plus, especially for travelers attending concerts or events.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel isn’t right downtown, so you’ll likely need a car or rideshare to reach most concert venues. Also, the pool is seasonal, so don’t count on a swim if you're visiting in colder months. Some guests mention the decor is a bit dated, but say it doesn’t impact the overall comfort.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers looking for a convenient, quiet, and budget-friendly stay near Richmond, the Best Western Plus Richmond Airport Hotel hits all the right notes.

Comfortable and clean but worn.

Liked: It was clean and comfortable beds. It is a bit worn but they are working on improving that.
Disliked: Our room was cleaned only three times in 8 days. They were having staffing problems but that should only be temporary.

See above

Liked: Very little - room was okay. A/C loud. Bathroom clean
Disliked: Workout equipment not working. Breakfast area not well kept. Family members (it seemed) were sleeping in lobby, had left over food (pizza boxes) on kitchen counter. Toddler aged child being watched by staff. Left this hotel after just one night.

Adequate but not great

Liked: Very clean; pleasant staff; excellent service by the airport shuttle.
Disliked: The bed had a very thin mattress on a platform. Resulting in a very hard bed. No Kleenex left in the bathroom. Soap dispenser in shower was empty. No luggage carts that I could see. With my mobility issues it made it difficult to get my luggage to & from my room.
