Is Petersburg, VA, a decent enough place to stay overnight or are there other towns south of Richmond that you would recommend?
Thanks! |
Totally understand.
Petersburg is OK, more of a trucker town though. But if you find a nice Holiday Inn Express or something, you'll be fine.
South of that, the next big towns like South Hill, VA and Henderson, NC towns are all Interstate towns, so they'll have hotels, and will be fine to stay in overnight. None of them are metropolises that are "dangerous" per say, especially if you're staying near the interstate.
I've traveled through those towns often, but have never stayed in any of them, so I'm not speaking from experience...in regards to accommodations.
