Very clean room, very clean area at the front desk. This hotel is pretty old, but they are remodeling it. Which is why there is some items that can be improved. The room we were in was HUGE.
Once they remodel this will be 5 star rating across the board! I will 100% be staying there again.

Staff was friendly and helpful, the room and halls were quiet and everything was clean. We enjoyed our stay!
Love this hotel. Staff a the quietness. Just needs more renovations as the door card locks are no working 60% of the time. And the tvs are horrible: hit on miss if remotes work.
Decor was very nice. Staff was nice. It was very quiet and comfortable

This hotel is a diamond in the rough. It used to be a classic upscale hotel built as such.
The good: Location is perfect.
Free Parking garage attached.
Rooms are built to be silent. You don't really hear any noise.
King bed was pretty comfortable. The price $$ is significantly cheaper than other hotels.
The downside: Needs
updated decor.
No restaurants or breakfast offered, but there used to be a restaurant there. Only basic coffee offered. There are great options up the street.
Had to request more soap and towel.
No idea what is going on with the pool.
None of the downsides would stop me from staying here again.
We liked the locality of the hotel in the historic downtown, and is walkable to few iconic restaurants and a performance theater. Hotel staff were very kind, however the breakfast wasn’t good.
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.
The best part of the entire stay was the friendliness of the staff. Property conditions: there was a raining period which resulted in several leaks in entrance and parking area.
