I chose the Hampton Inn Richmond-North/Ashland because it’s the top-rated hotel in Ashland, and now I understand why. I was visiting Kings Dominion (just a quick 10-minute drive away), and this hotel turned out to be the perfect home base for my trip. One of the first things I noticed is the convenience and thoughtfulness built into the guest experience. The hotel offers free parking, and as a Hilton Diamond member, I loved having my own reserved spot right up front—such a nice perk. The location is also excellent, with plenty of restaurants within walking distance, so you don’t even need to get back in the car after a long day. From the start, the team here showed how much pride they take in their hotel. I called ahead to make sure my room preferences would be honored, and they gladly accommodated my request. I checked in easily via the Hilton app, selected a digital key, and walked straight to my room without ever stopping at the front desk. Shortly after, I received a message checking in on my stay, and when I asked for a few extra items, they were delivered quickly and with a smile. That kind of follow-up is rare and shows how much they care about their guests. The room itself was spotless and very comfortable. Housekeeping was fantastic, keeping everything fresh and welcoming each day. The room came with all the essentials—a mini fridge, microwave, and coffee maker—which made it easy to relax and recharge. The bed was cozy with feather pillows, and I slept very well during my stay. That said, there are a couple of areas that could be improved: • The TVs are older and don’t have streaming services, which was a little disappointing in 2025 when many hotels already offer this feature. Not a dealbreaker, but something I’d love to see updated. • The lighting in the room uses bright white LED bulbs, which gave the space a bit of a harsh look. Warmer lighting would make the room feel much more inviting and relaxing. Beyond the room, the hotel has nice amenities. The outdoor pool (seasonal) was crystal clear and very inviting. I also used the fitness room, which included free weights, a Peloton bike, and a treadmill. While it was perfectly functional, it could use a refresh to match the quality of the rest of the property. Though I didn’t eat breakfast, I checked out the options, and it was a full complimentary continental breakfast with everything from make-your-own waffles and fresh fruit to baked items and hot dishes—plenty to start the day off right. Another thoughtful touch was the fresh-baked cookies and lemonade offered in the late afternoons and evenings, which felt warm and welcoming. Overall, this hotel exceeded my expectations in every way. It’s clear that the staff take genuine pride in their work and go out of their way to make guests feel comfortable and cared for. Combined with the ideal location near Kings Dominion, great perks like Diamond parking and digital key check-in, and the overall comfort of the rooms, this hotel is a true gem in Ashland. I look forward to staying here again on my next Kings Dominion trip in 2026, and I would recommend it without hesitation to anyone visiting the park or the Richmond area.
