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.

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.

Maintenance issues here and there—lamps that don’t work, key cards needed swapped out a few times between the two rooms and guests we had with us .

Upon check in I was greeted very nicely but informed by the staff member that housekeeping was not available during my stay. I found this strange but I did see housekeeping in the halls the next day. This did inconvenience me slightly since I booked these rooms for my family coming in for a surprise 80th birthday. In the event they needed to freshen up, rest or have somewhere relax while waiting for our next event. I will learn from this experience and ask ahead what the hotel policy is on housekeeping before zi book my next stay.

Phone in room didn’t work and when reported to front desk I was told it was hit or miss with the phones. Card key entry unstable, had to get a new card and still intermittently worked. Ice machine on floor (5th) didn’t work and didn’t have a sign, Continental breakfast with no fruit. Hotel Signage is over the adjacent garage and barely noticeable during the day hours. No signs ground level near entrance.
