What guests think

Across reviews of Quality Inn Lynchburg near University, guests frequently praise the friendly staff and convenient location near Liberty University and dining, but report dated, motel-style accommodations with exterior entries, inconsistent upkeep, and service or maintenance hiccups.

Cleanliness is mixed, with repeated complaints about dirty floors, stained bedding, lingering smoke or marijuana odors, and occasional bugs, alongside a fair number of comments noting clean rooms. Rooms are generally basic and dated; several guests cite Wi-Fi and TV problems, small or worn bathrooms, and intermittent HVAC performance, though many find the beds comfortable. Breakfast is commonly described as acceptable or good, but selection can be limited and meat options are sometimes missing. Expect a budget stay prioritizing location and price over polish.

First thing FALSE ADVERTISING. Hotels.com stated they has a gym. The pictures of the hotel shows a gym room but NO GYM.Trash all over parking lot. The lady that checked me in was not friendly at all. Room was ok. Nothing great for $130 a night.

I could not Fine the place for they have no signs showing were the property is. it took me one half hour to find it. It is behind another Motel and I just Luck out by going down a side street. When I went to check out they wouldn't give me a receipt and stated it's a three party and that your company had to give me a receipt which I have not received yet. I need it for the business and taxes. The breakfast was good but no meat which I never seen that happen in all my travels.

Motel was clean, but aged. Patched holes in the walls, staining in the tub. Did not realized there was no indoor access to the breakfast/checkin area. Had to walk around the building outside to access these areas. It was clean enough I guess and gave us a place to stay, but won't come back.

Overall, the stay wasn't the best nor the worst. The room and property, though decent, needs major updates. THERE IS NO ELEVATOR for the second floor. It is a dated property as well and you can surely see it in the room itself. Here's the good and bad of the stay: The Good (there is some): - The staff was very cordial and professional. - Parking was abundant and easy to get elsewhere in town. - The A/C worked well given it was quite warm outside (and very humid). The Bad (and there's a lot more of this): - The complimentary breakfast was okay but there was no meat options (e.g., bacon, sausage, etc.) - There was a roach roaming the loo when I came in. It was led to a swirly. - There were water stains in the back corner of the room. - The bathtub is VERY SMALL. Be aware of that! - The room was not cleaned before I arrive (except for the trash). - The property had a lot of smokers and right outside of the door (which came in through the exhaust of the A/C unit). - The property overall was somewhat dirty. - The 'Business Center' didn't work. Since I am likely to come back to the area, I will stay at a different property next time. Hopefully the feedback will ensure they have a properly taken care-of property and one that is better cleaned.

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.

Property is need of update and repairs in the rooms. Better cleaning. The room smelled odd. Lifted mattress and under cover it was dirty and yellow at the head of the bed. A lot of Rusty items and dirty floor. Hair in sink. Air conditioning was inconsistent when turned on constant running selection. Air conditioner Squeaked on different settings. Breakfast room carpet needed swept. Tables sticky. Breakfast had less items then before. Stayed here a few times before and wasn’t as bad as this time. Staff is friendly and helpful.

The room was run down, which I can accept, however the room was not clean. Walls had old coffee/soda marks on it, bathroom floor had hair ball annd dirt in corner, with what looks to be a handprint on the wall, and our A/C register actually had candy stuck in it when I went to turn on.

Service was friendly and responsive. Breaking was excellent. Room was comfortable, clean, good working condition, and we had no issues with noise. Note to bring your own conditioner as shampoo only is provided in the shower. Although rooms haven’t been recently updated (and bathroom showed some wear), they are attractively furnished with quality linens and great adjustable shower head, instant hot water, comfortable bed.

This is a somewhat dated property but is clean and the bed comfortable. Staff was courteous and HVAC worked fine. The TV situation is frustrating and out of date. There is no digital guide or timetable describing shows and their schedules. Channel Surfing is almost impossible because if the long lag while it changes channels. A printed list of channels and networks is incorrect and inadequate. So winding down after a long day of travel did not include catching up with the day's news or entertainment.

The rooms are “so so” quality at best. My wife called for extra pillows and we were told they ran out. The TV signal came is as “no signal” on every channel; until I learned that you have to leave it tuned to a channel for about 5 minutes for the signal to catch up and be watchable.

Our room was non smoking but reeked of THC vape. We had an outside door that the bottom was rotted/rusted out and you could see light coming through and didn’t make me feel great about bugs. The heat in the room was set to high heat and I woke congested due to the vape and dust in the vents. I checked for bedbegs, didn’t see any but the bedskirt had a what looked like a coffee stain that had not been washed yet. Very dated room. Bed was comfortable, breakfast was decent, and guy at night desk was pleasant. Most likely will not stay here again due to price and other choices available in the area.

Check out was at 11 am. We went to the store and arrived back at our hotel room at around 9:00 am only to find the staff already cleaning our room as if we had checked out, which we had not. I mentioned it to the manager in duty and his response was that they were behind from the day before. Unacceptable!!

After the game my wife and I went to our room opened the door and it had people in the room. Went to the front desk and gave him my keys and said why are they people in my room. Ended up getting put up in another room. Never again

When we arrived the IT was down after half an hour we were given a room and told everything would be sorted. The following day we were confronted by by another couple who had been given keys to our room. I went to reception and was told they had no record of our arriving and everything would be corrected. When we checked out we were told there was no record of us being there. The hotel gave out keys to our room endangering both our property and our own safty. We will not be returning.

This Quality Inn is near the airport and near a Walmart and Target. The staff is very friendly and helpful. There’s a fridge, a microwave, and decent complimentary breakfast in the lobby from 6a-9a. Those are the positives. The motel itself is run down and in a run down part of town. Lots of shuttered businesses. We felt safe, but then we’re the type who are in bed by 10pm. We were told there was a shooting at the Waffle House nearby. If I return to Lynchburg, I’d probably stay in a different part of town, but it was perfect for my needs for a 2-night stay.
