Not for me
Initially I thought it would be a great idea to stay at a place given the pinball machines and games cause I like them.. but I was aware that this may not be a good idea. The machines are quite loud so if you need some quietness and it is not as if the sleeping rooms are far from the machines, you run the risk of booking with other people who enjoy the games, and they play them and have fun. I could have dealt with that but the futon mattress or cushion was too much for me to bear. Driving 8hrs to arrive only to an uncomfortable bed, I couldn’t do it another night. Then being awaken early in the morning by pinball machines was startling and jarring. So I just left and forfeited my reservation. Some caveats: if you rent the whole house, that would probably be fun, or rent the room with a bed and not futon, or if you’re young and don’t mine late night noise or activities, then the place might suit you. For me, this wasn’t suited for me.

I stay here every time I come to Richmond for business. It always feels like I'm coming home.

We stayed at pinball Petes located in Richmond Virginia. It was a cool place that contained over 15 pinballs and other types of gains. It was close to mainstream venues, but took away in a picturesque neighborhood very peaceful and calm and safe. We enjoy being able to relax.

Pinball Wizard.
We pulled in and we're immediately greeted by Kat the owner's Cat. It was easy to check in on our own. The house is very eclectic with memorabilia, vintage video games and the famous old steel ball Pinball Machines. Kitchen is well stocked with coffee and breakfast items. Everything was neat and clean for an old house. Very comfy stay as we were the only guests in this 3 Bed 1 (Shared) Bath. Living room and Small dining area in the kitchen. We elected for the King Bedroom and glad we did.

Great stay and good value
Mr Pete was a very pleasant host. Fun atmosphere and nice clean room. Enjoyed the Pinball and the soda machine that dispenses local beers. Will def book again.

Funky B&B stay - do you love pinball?
A fun and unique B&B just off 95 outside of Richmond. There are 3 smallish bedrooms and 16 working pinball machines which you can play non-stop for free. One room has a half bath, and the other two rooms share the full bathroom off the hall. Lots of fun if you like pinball or are traveling with teens. Full kitchen is available for your use, though breakfast food options are limited, but coffee is top-rate.

Second time, still a charm
This is our second stay, and it's just as great as before! The beds are comfy, selection of breakfast is great, the manager communicates extremely well, the games are fun, location is safe and convenient, and the old cat is very friendly. Despite what someone else said, I have never seen a cat hair or any trace of the friendly little cat anywhere inside the house. I hope my kid gets into college here, so I have an excuse to come stay here more often. lol
