The room key was a little crazy. Had to slide it in and out quite a few times, then had to shoulder bump the door to open it. Double room - one bed had stains on the sheets and black crumbs in the bed, not sure if it was clean. Also super squeaky. Room was clean just dingy. Staff was so kind and helpful! From front desk, cleaning crew, and breakfast crew your staff is incredible.

Don’t stay here!

Door lock was not functioning properly. Told front desk first day and did nothing about it. Every time we came back to hotel we needed to get new room keys because our old ones were deactivated. Carpet was disgusting and dirty. Hotel’s website said they had a pool and exercise room, but looked like the pool had been out of service for years and no access to exercise room. breakfast was a joke. The bananas were all bruised, and the apples were bruised. Selection was slim to nothing. AC front panel was broken and crooked. The luggage carts were old and filthy. when we asked for more towels, we instructed we had to come down to the lobby and get them. When you walked in the hotel, the lobby looked pretty good, but past the lobby was run down at old.

It has potential, but very old. Had old smells. Shower was hot. Room was clean. Hallway smelled. Tried to call front desk. No one answered. Maybe they were busy. Skimpy on towels & soap items. Breakfast was a grab n go type breakfast but I thought descent for what we paid for room.

We like to take road trips and stay at older hotels that have character, and we thought that this hotel in Lynchburg might be a good example. There is tremendous potential at this hotel, but sadly, it is not yet met. The lobby was just as nice as the picture shows, but the rest of the hotel has seen better days. I think that is why we gave low scores - the hotel was clearly once a very nice location, but seems like is has not seen significant maintenance in decades. (The same might be said of all of downtown Lynchburg, but I digress) The good news is that the linens were clean. The bathtub drain tended to back up while you used the shower. The main elevators were out of service and we had to go through some dilapidated staff areas to use the service elevator. There is no dining at the hotel, and we found only a few options of any sort within walking distance. We had to drive out of Lynchburg for a nice dinner. The hotel breakfast was also limited, so we passed and drove to a Cracker Barrel as we left Lynchburg.

We were dropping our son off for college and stayed at the Lynchburg Grand. It was nice and quiet. Staff was nice and everything was clean. There isn’t any housekeeping, so you will need to stop by for extra towels. As long as that doesn’t bother you, this is a great place to stay!
