Our stay was okay. We had several issues with the key card lock on our door. Also pool was not open. A/C unit in room barely cooled the room. The ice machines on most of the floors were broken. Pictures online for the hotel were definitely taken several years ago.

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.

Visit to Lynchburg

In town for business with Liberty U. Although the hotel was not all that close to Liberty, being in the downtown area was a good choice. Parking was convenient. There were many restaurants in the area. Continental breakfast was adequate. WIFI internet was slow.
