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.

Overnight stay

Very economical, older hotel but clean, definitely needs updating and TLC. Provided a continental breakfast, which was perfect. AC worked great, the electoral outlets don’t work well, hot water is slow but eventually comes. Would stay there again, it’s very reasonable and staff very nice and felt safe.pool not open
