It was nice but an older building. The lock on the door didn’t work, had to spend time trying to get the key card to work every time. The bathroom door didn’t lock or completely shut. The breakfast was very limited to cereal or prepackaged muffins. The staff was nice and provided a hair dryer and iron because it was not already in our room.

The key did not work and on the fifth floor I had to go up and down the elevator three times to get staff to assist. The staff did admit the system was antiquated. Limited staff-I only saw one staff member at night. The parking was not apparent and I had to call several times before I got someone to answer to find out where the parking was-in an old parking garage and then they did not have automatic doors. Then in the morning the shower did not work at all, the breakfast was minimal. I asked the staff for a refund and they said contact Expedia. My guess is this place is hanging on by a thread.

Our first room appeared to have soiled sheets. Front desk switched rooms quickly with no problems. Rooms were pretty clean. Bathroom was clean except the tile and caulking around the tub had significant mildew. Shower curtain bar was drooping down preventing the curtain from staying closed( causing water spraying on the floor). A breakfast sandwich and burrito would be a nice addition.

Ripped curtains, corroded disgusting tub drain that didn’t drain (I refused to shower in it), broken elevator buttons, it smelled like they were trying to cover up even nastier smells. Its overall look was drab and tired. We stayed here about 6 years ago and it was great, right now, as is, it needs to close!

Something happened with the computer system & check in was a nightmare. Stood in line for over 45 minutes to check in. There were issues with finding the reservation & the key card would not work. Staff member had to use master key to let me into the room. Waited 2.5 hours for a key to be sent to the room, which never happened. Had to stand in line again to received a key. 2 out of 3 keys worked. Staff not helpful or friendly. Disappointing.

Dated. While clean and safe this property needs love and updates. Leaky faucet, squeaky bed and coffee maker that would shut off the power code it was plugged into so I had to search for an outlet that could run it. It was a quick stop over in a long road trip so it served its purpose.

Older hotel with lots of Charm

This hotel is older, but very clean and has a lot of character! The staff was extremely helpful and friendly and all the support personnel were equally great. The price was very good, and the downtown location was charming. It was just a block away within walking distance to the iconic 90 year old Texas Inn! I will definitely make this my go-to hotel in Lynchburg.

Room not ready!

Arrived at 5 pm way past check in time, waited in longline at checkin. My room as well as several others was not ready. Was told come back later. My room was not ready until 6:15. I was supposed to be at an event that started at 630. This lack of preparation on the hotels part caused me to be 45 late for an event i had come to town to attend. This was not the best experience.
