Top Richmond Hotel Reviews

The Campbell House Lexington, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"The property and our room was extremely clean and nice, the bed super comfortable. The food & drinks at the Rackhouse was amazing especially the Fried Chicken! Highly recommended!! However, my only complaint is with the bathroom, there’s no place to put your things, no shelf space and there’s plenty of room for it. Oh and having to pay for waters?! For the cost of the room water should be free!"
