Booked this hotel because of the seasonal pool amenity. When I got there I was advised that the pool was closed due to a leak in the pump. Had I known that prior to booking, I would not have booked this hotel.

The only thing that is positive about this hotel is its location. Everything is old and not maintained. The pool was not usable, nor was the gym. The shower the handles were coming off the wall. The property says it’s under new management and I wish them all the best. This hotel is in an excellent location and should be brought up to minimal standards to serve the liberty University students and families.

The property has great potential but our room was not up to our standards and I’m sure we will not be staying with them again. The checkin was fine but no elevator, mold on the wall, dirt everywhere — especially in corners and I needed a step stool to just get into the bed. We might have noticed other things but we were just too exhausted.

Outdated and stained top to bottom. It was fine for a night just to sleep, but I never wanted to be in the room otherwise. It smelled like cigarettes and urine, there were holes in the chairs, and stains on the floors and walls. Most of the staff were decent, but there were a few that were rude and acted as if we were an inconvenience for staying whenever we asked a question. We had to get a new key card several times because ours stopped working and the pool was closed due to "unavoidable circumstances" even thought it's advertised online.

The property is dated and in need of some minor cosmetic repairs. There appears to be an aesthetic unpleasantness to the building. That being said, Roxy and the rest of the office staff are five star employees, and they treat you like royalty. The rooms, although dated, were clean. The pool was fabulous.

This place is a dump! Avoid unless it’s the only place available. Check in was smooth and the beds and pillows were comfortable and there were no bugs but that’s about it for positives. The room smelled like smoke, like 30 years worth, nasty! I sprayed the room and then when I woke up the next morning the smell was overpowering. The bathroom cieling had mold all over, the bathroom door looked like someone had a dog that scratched it and it had a hole punched into it. The bathtub leaked out water so no ability to take a bath. All the furniture is super worn out, like from the 90’s. The breakfast was a complete joke. There were little egg patties and sausage gravy, no biscuits anywhere and only 4 measly pieces of toast available. The coffee was basically water. The only thing good about breakfast was the waffles and the juice. We were looking forward to having a pool but it was green and had some sort of froth in it so we avoided it. This place needs a complete overhaul! I would never stay again, only stay if you’re desperate or don’t mind old smelling motor lodges.

It was not a good experience. I was not aware that there was no elevator and I have mobility issues. When I asked if there was a bottom floor room I was told no even though they did not look. Check in service was slow because employee was sitting outside smoking. Room was not very clean but the bed was good.

My room was dirty and not well-maintained. I found two dead bugs in the mini-fridge, and I saw two live roaches in my room. The mounting bracket that was supposed to hold the hair dryer to the wall was broken. I found two dirty washcloths hanging over the shower curtain rod when I arrived. The walls were dirty. Two places on the bathroom wall had been patched, but the plaster had not been sanded or repainted. One of the drawers in the chest of drawers was off the rails and wouldn't close properly. The breakfast buffet was poorly stocked -- on some days, items such as yogurt and fresh fruit were completely gone an hour before the end of breakfast -- and some of the bread items were stale. This hotel has seen better days.

Overall, the hotel met my needs. Convenient location and comfortable bed. However, my room reeked of marijuana. The rooms are supposed to be non-smoking, and I know in general the staff cannot control if people violate that rule until after the fact (by charging them a fee). We found a lighter on top of the A/C unit, so that was missed by the cleaning staff. The room was dated. I did not use the shower, but there was plenty of hot water available from the sink.

Oh, the big window curtain had a big hole in it and smaller ones scattered. Could not open! Glad all I needed was a roof and bed. Low class hotel. No more Wyndham.

It was kind of gross, the room smelled like smoke and there was cockroaches. Also, every time we went back to our room the key wouldn’t work, so we kept having to get new keys which was incredibly frustrating. The staff were unhelpful and kind of rude. We had breakfast once and the batter was sour and the eggs were cold. Overall a very poor experience and I definitely would not recommend going there.

I had prepaid for a night at this hotel in February 2025 so I would be assured of a room to attend the Womens Conference in Lynchburg. They sold my room to someone else!!!!! I had to get a room from Econolodge and pay $364.00 for the night instead of the $103 that I had already paid. The manager lied and said that he had no record of my paying in advance. However, when I called the hotel a few days later he admitted that his computer did have my reservation . This ruined my trip!!!!!!!!!!!

The phone was totally not operational and the volume did not work on the tv. I was very disappointed. I may as well had stayed at Motel 6, except I paid $155.00 for this room.

The breakfast consisted of water down coffee, cold egg and sausage patties, white bread, Frosted Flakes. Air conditioning blew straight onto the bed, condensation soaked the carpet. There was drinking and marijuana smoking outside the room filling my room with the odor. Key cards went blank nightly. Required a note to be left with counter for the room to be cleaned - wasn't honored. Bed comfort was fine.
