It has potential, but very old. Had old smells. Shower was hot. Room was clean. Hallway smelled. Tried to call front desk. No one answered. Maybe they were busy. Skimpy on towels & soap items. Breakfast was a grab n go type breakfast but I thought descent for what we paid for room.

We like to take road trips and stay at older hotels that have character, and we thought that this hotel in Lynchburg might be a good example. There is tremendous potential at this hotel, but sadly, it is not yet met. The lobby was just as nice as the picture shows, but the rest of the hotel has seen better days. I think that is why we gave low scores - the hotel was clearly once a very nice location, but seems like is has not seen significant maintenance in decades. (The same might be said of all of downtown Lynchburg, but I digress) The good news is that the linens were clean. The bathtub drain tended to back up while you used the shower. The main elevators were out of service and we had to go through some dilapidated staff areas to use the service elevator. There is no dining at the hotel, and we found only a few options of any sort within walking distance. We had to drive out of Lynchburg for a nice dinner. The hotel breakfast was also limited, so we passed and drove to a Cracker Barrel as we left Lynchburg.

We were dropping our son off for college and stayed at the Lynchburg Grand. It was nice and quiet. Staff was nice and everything was clean. There isn’t any housekeeping, so you will need to stop by for extra towels. As long as that doesn’t bother you, this is a great place to stay!

The property seems to have been refurbished but to a 3 star hotel. There is no dining inside the hotel, there is no bar. The gym is old. More work is required.

The room and bed were comfortable and clean. Everything worked well and we enjoyed good sleep and got some work done as well. The only issue was that the fitness room lock did not work properly so someone had to open it for us.
