Hilton Garden Inn Lynchburg

Very nice and helpful staff and very clean.

One of the main reasons we got our room was we wanted to be able to use the pool and jet tub for aches and pains. My husband has a work injury and myself and suffering from frozen shoulder so we wanted to be able to use the pool and be able to use jet tub after checking in which was also an issue because of going through hotels.com. we go downstairs in the pool is closed so that was disappointing. Our room was nice and very clean for some reason we couldn’t get the water to run cold and hot at the same time we don’t know why but in the jet tub, but we got it to run cold after the Jets were on. It was strange. The staff are not at the check-in desk when we got there it took a few minutes and they had to go find them, but everyone was friendly. I can say that everyone was friendly and I would still suggest them clean, friendly people, we enjoyed it even out on the patio having a drink from the bar.

The staff was not prepared for college graduation guests. Short staffed obviously.

Could use more updated current iPhone charger apparatus

I had a very disappointing experience at the Hilton Garden Inn Lynchburg. I made my reservation a month in advance as part of a wedding block. Two weeks prior to my arrival, I also called the hotel to request an early check-in due to my flight schedule. I was assured that early check-in would be noted and accommodated. However, when I arrived around 10:00 a.m., the front desk receptionist was immediately dismissive and rude. I was told I could not check in until 4:00 p.m., even though the listed check-in time online is 3:00 p.m. I explained that I had called ahead and was part of the wedding block, but instead of trying to help, she told me that “25 other people had priority” over my stay. I stayed in the lobby waiting for hours. During that time, I overheard the receptionist giving different and inconsistent explanations to multiple guests, which made the situation even more frustrating. When I checked back in around 2:30 p.m. (just 30 minutes before the standard check-in time), I was told there were still no rooms available. At that point, I still had no room, no clear communication, and no assistance from staff. Due to the lack of availability and poor customer service, I had to book a room at another hotel. Despite this, I was still charged for one night at this location—even though I never checked in or stayed there. Overall, this experience was extremely unprofessional and stressful, especially given that I had planned ahead for a special event. I would not recommend.
