Top Richmond Hotel Reviews

Marriott Lexington Griffin Gate Golf Resort & Spa

Marriott Lexington Griffin Gate Golf Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"I read some terrible, off-putting reviews of this hotel, but we found our experience to be the opposite. Yes, some the hotel is dated and a little run down in places, but it was clean, quiet, and relaxing. Staff were friendly and helpful. The pool, spa, and small gym were great. Lots of comfortable places to sit inside and outside. The air conditioning worked well. Until our last night when a conference was starting, we almost had the place to ourselves."
