The building & rooms were very old & needed some renovations to the doors, walls & floor. Their white towels need to desperately be replaced/updated as there were stains on every towel in my bathroom. The staff was great, the beds & sheets were clean & comfortable, especially if you are tired. I was grateful for a place to stay during graduation.

I had to clean it myself to get air in the bathroom. The room itself needs work as an older hotel, but the bed sheets & pillow cases were clean. Their white towels for the bathroom were all stained.

I was looking for a cheap stay for a single night at the last minute. This was one of the cheapest spots I found in the Lynchburg area, which had me a little worried but ultimately I was looking for a deal. Not only was my stay here perfectly adequate, it was quite comfortable. Granted, they have little issues with upkeep. Things could be dusted and spruced up a bit more, and my shower probably could've been renovated. But none of this interfered with the comfort of the room. The room was spacious, the mattress had the right amount of density and cushion to it, and everyone from the front desk to the cleaning staff was extremely friendly. With just a little sprucing up, this could be an amazing spot. Nonetheless, it was more than fine for one night.

Asked the desk she told me she couldn’t the app could. The app says they have too. The place is dishonest and wants to take money when it’s their shortcomings that caused all this. I got scammed. And they had the nerve to mention the deposit, why for a place I didn’t check into. Message no response. BBB complaint coming tomorrow. I wouldn’t recommend it to any TRAVEL NURSE.

Staff was friendly. I do not fault them. However, it is obvious that there is no competent building maintenance manager on staff…and there hasn’t been one for quite some time. Building exterior is disintegrating from water damage. There are open plumbing access holes in the hallways. Carpets are 10 years past life expectancy in the hallways. Paint is peeling in multiple locations both inside and outside the building. The pool that once was…is filled in and has debris laying around it for a lovely view from most guest room windows. This building needs to be demolished. Separately, the floors in our room were dirty. The TV would not turn on, and the coffee maker was dirty…like someone had poured coffee in the water reservoir and left it there for an extended period of time…the sheets on the bed were clean. Had they not been, we would have been sleeping in the mini van. Terrible experience…oh, and the place reeked of weed…which I hate and which I think is symbolic of the decline and soon destruction of western civilization. TERRIBLE experience.

I have stayed at this hotel on multiple occasions without issue. My needs are simple- clean room, comfortable bed, and minimal disturbances. One of a door at the end of the hall by rooms 218 and 219 makes a loud noise when it opens and a louder noise when it slams shut. Both nights I was awakened multiple times through the night, and starting at 5:00 or 5:30 it became relentless and sleep became impossible. Earplugs were insufficient. I doubt I will return.

The room wasn't bad, the tub had some rust spots and water pressure was terrible. The outer stairwells and vestible areas were in need of paint and stucco repair from water damage. The stairway carpet is gross and needs replaced, there were live cockroaches in the stairwell on the ceiling and walls. The trashcan outside the \"B\" entrance was gross and the property had weeds and horrible landscaping. The old pool area is very unsightly, put the pool back in or do something with that area. There were guests hanging out of windows to smoke also. The motel staff were outside smoking in front of the office often.

The fan in the bathroom was loud, the vent to the fan clogged, and there was mildew on the shower curtain. The room had a musky odor. I sprayed to clear that up.
The AC worked great, but was aimed at the bed closest to it. I did really love that the covers on the bed actually was long and loose enough to pull up around my shoulders. I would stay again, but only because it was very affordable.

We did not stay at this property. They also won’t answer the phones to Expedia to process a refund. There was a dead roach on the floor, part of a dead roach body on the bed, the door to the bathroom was stitched together by several screws down the side that we’re not even holding the door together. The walls were visibly dirty. The room smelled of cigarette smoke despite requesting a non-smoking facility. Andrea at the front desk was very kind, very sympathetic, even gave us a print out stating that she authorized a refund, with her signature, but nevertheless, Expedia won’t grant it because they haven’t been able to make contact with the hotel to confirm.

I’m a pretty patient and understanding person. I absolutely understand that not every place is going to be for everybody, but when you do not stay at a facility because it is presented in an unsanitary fashion, you should absolutely be able to get a full refund! That is all I want. I paid for a room that I was unable to stay in and therefore, should not have to pay for the room that I was unable to stay in.

When I went in the bathroom, there was something nasty all over the wall where your knees would be when sitting on the toilet. I don’t believe for one minute a cleaner couldn’t see it.

Don't stay here unless you have no choice

The staff was all friendly but that was the only upside of this hotel.

The first room was check into the window was broken and there were very badly patched up holes in the doors

The 2nd room we got didn't have a cover on the bathroom outlet, which the front desk person fixed right away. But even with fixing that there was still another cable that was exposed next to the TV, the ironing board was disgusting, one of the comforters had a stain that we couldn't tell if it was blood or hot sauce (praying it was hot sauce) and the comforter on the other bed had a hole in it. The fan in the bathroom was unplugged and without a cover on.

And I'm pretty sure they only have 1 person on staff at a time because the lady that checked us in said she was also maintenance and said she had to do laundry so pretty sure she was the house keeper as well.

The website claims they have free breakfast but all they have are vending machines if you count that

DO NOT stay here. I wish I could get a refund because this place is not worth what we paid for
