The location is great very centralized but the hotel room was very dirty. The floors were dirty, the bedding was dirty, the bathroom was not even cleaned. I had to throw away a used feminine product that was on the floor when i entered the bathroom. The room also smelled like cigarettes. The towels that were placed in the hotel room were still slightly moist, i imagine from a wash. And for some reason, there was blood everywhere, bedding, walls and everything in between. Def not hygenic. The staff was nice and the breakfast was okay, but as expected for a hot breakfast. Parking is good.

The room was disgusting! Not clean at all! The comforter had stains all over it and the bathtub was filthy and the shower curtain was moldy. We had the front desk put us in another room and it had the same issues. So obviously this hotel does not care to clean any of its rooms. Also the TV did not work. I will never stay at another Quality Inn again. I would suggest no one stay at this hotel.

We came here to celebrate my husband’s over the weekend for his birthday (5/22-5/24)and quickly ended up regretting our decision. The only positive thing was the front desk staff. Our main issue was the condition of our room. Upon first glance it seemed ok but then the saxophones started getting louder! Pulled back the comforter and there was so much spice and pubic hairs and stained pillow cases. It was clear the housekeeper just made up the bed without changing the sheets. The floors had so many stains and crumbs from previous guests in almost every corner. Housekeeper didn’t vacuum or clean the floors (just the bare minimum) We didn’t feel comfortable setting our stuff down. We asked for a different room which front desk kindly obliged but quickly decided there wasn’t any difference so we kept our room. Went to the nearest Walmart and got some clean sheets and comforter/pillows of our own and a few cleaning supplies. I’m a professional housekeeper so I was going to make sure our environment was sanitary at the least. The worst part was the 2 mattress covers/comforter and pillows that were all covered in bodily fluids. Refused to use any of that stuff and stripped the bed completely. The mattress was old boxspring which was super uncomfortable to sleep on and it creaked a lot. The shower and toilet were also sprinkled with hairs and more spice. I used Lysol wipes (to wipe the floors down) and sprayed bleach all over the bathroom. Decided to leave a day early just unhappy.

Need some room updates and a specific filtered water bottle fill up station, the water fountain by the lobby bathroom tasted funny. There were cigarette burn holes on my bed comforter and the TV struggled to keep a good signal, was constantly flickering and buzzing, good thing I had my ipad and the internet seemed to work fine. Other than that it was a decent stay, a little overpriced for what it was but the breakfast was good and the coffee was pretty alright.

This was the worst hotel experience I have had in forty years of travel. The room was filthy. Blood stains on the blanket, shoe prints on the sheets, floor was so dirty I had black stains on the bottom of my bare feet, cable service that only worked half the time, wireless that was ridiculously slow, stains on the walls, and lint growing in the air ducts. We were gouged on price due to availability and a major event in town. The staff was completely indifferent to our needs and concerns. Slumlords come to mind.

Unfortunately, I cannot give this place any higher marks. The shower curtain was terribly dirty. There was a used bandaid on the shower curtain rod. This display made it evident cleaning the bathroom thoroughly isn’t in the plans. We stayed there and paid 500 a night because it was graduation week. There were no other places available or we would have left this property.
The night shift desk clerk who prepared the breakfast was the best thing about the motel. He was very kind and welcoming. Pleasant to speak with. It’s because of him that I didn’t rate this place lower. CLEANESS WAS EXPECTED BUT NOT AT ALL DELIVERED.

It was graduation weekend so I desperately needed a place to stay. I knew this was not a four star hotel but I believe basic things could have been better i.e. clean (sheets, floor, bathtub). Room was not serviced everyday. The breakfast was good however. For the price I paid $408.66 per night (I stayed 3 nights), it should have been better. The bed was comfortable though which at least was a saving grace.

For a non-smoking room, there was immediate evidence of cigarette smoke upon entering the room. The floor had not been swept or mopped, trash in the corner as well as hairballs on the floor. Our socks got extremely dirty walking on the floor, as there was no way we would go barefoot. The toilet was loose from the floor and rocked when standing up; and the faucet at the sink was very loose. The top sheet had cigarette burn holes. Mold was growing between the glass that the framed picture hanging on the wall. Lamps were rusted. WiFi connectivity issue was never resolved.
We were fortunate to find other accommodations the following morning, as we were there for my husband's graduation; so we were able to check out after one night. The manager agreed to a full refund, which we learned must be obtained from Expedia. Time will tell whether Expedia lives up to its reputation. This motel most certainly did not live up to a 5 star rating!

This is the nastiest hotel I have ever stayed in before.
$3,600 for 2 rooms for 3 nights.
Bedspreads had cigarette burn holes in them
Floors and bathroom were NOT clean.
Both rooms wreaked of cigarette smoke.
You would never let your bare feet touch anything in that room.
Just simply repulsed that we had to stay there as all decent hotels were sold out.

Do not stay here! Immediately had to clean when I got there. Floor was disgusting, refrigerator had not been cleaned, food still in the freezer and the shower head was broken so badly I couldn't use it. I had to go to the desk and get duct tape just to be able to use it. Desk and end tables were filthy and the chair was stained. I didn't even want to put my stuff down. I paid over 1100$ for 3 nights because of a local university's graduation, so all of Lynchburg price gouged. I will be calling corporate

Floor was extremely dirty, walked on it with gray socks for less than five minutes and were black with grim, had to throw socks away.

Staff were nice, but seeing that I had come from way out of town for my graduation, I couldn’t just leave the hotel for another option.

No wifi despite it advertising free high speed internet. Signal on the television was constantly going in and out. Tv remote was also broken as some buttons didn't work. Shower was broken and had an exposed rusty nail. Food from whoever stayed in that room before was left in bags in the freezer, didn't want to touch out of concern as it looked like it had been there for a long time. Found room key cards left in end table. Fire alarm not mounted to ceiling properly was activated by steam due to poor ventilation.

Rooms had poor lighting, bath tub was dirty (with tub floor dark as it were not scrub at all). Bed sheets had black spots, they do not make cleaning unless you call them, breakfast is from 6am to 10am but at 8am there is nothing left and they do not fill/make more, coffee taste bad (as made with unclean/dirty water), some of the towels had bad odor (as wet dog). Beds are pretty uncomfortable and small (not for 2 persons). Fridge mount is falling appart (broken), inside fridge not clean at all and with mold spots, burnt-out bulbs in floor lamp, door did close well (you can open it from the outside without the key sometimes). Staff is courteous but they were only 2. I put the trash outside the door in the morning before 8am and when we arrived in late at night (after 10pm) it was still there.

When checking in directions to the room we’re not provided. The room was dirty with strange hairs on the wall of the shower and the notion of the tub was dirty. There were stains on the bedspread. Another family staying with us had dried vomit in their sink and when entering their room the heat was turned to 90 degrees.

When I woke up and went down to the lobby the TV that was on was glitching and the manager’s response was that it does that. It was so bad I had turned it off. There was also an individual sleeping at a table in the lobby and not in a room. The folks at the counter chose to ignore the man sleeping in the lobby as if it were normal.

I would. It recommend staying here if you have other choices.

This motel is inexpensive for a reason. The sink did not drain; the bed linens were dirty; the property was loud; the room itself did not appear to be fully made up from the last visitor. The list goes on. I checked out a day early after just 1 night and asked for a refund. I told them Expedia's policy is that it is at the discretion of the property to refund, but they acted like only Expedia could fix this, even though it is stated in writing. I do not recommend this property.

For the price I was a bit surprised at how run down and dirty it was. The staff was very nice but it baffles me how so many hotels in Lynchburg live off parents and charge exorbitant prices for subpar/ beat up accommodations. With the extra money you think they would spruce the place up. Our bedding was dirty and I had to get new blankets and there was a dead cockroach on the floor. I asked them to clean the room but they did not sweep up the bugs or change the bed. So I had the after hours attendant get me a new blanket. Another attendant got me a fan since the air conditioning was not working properly, but they fixed that. In all the staff was very nice but the place was like a 1980’s motel 6, with Hilton prices.
