6/10 Good

Easy access from the interstate and easy parking.
Carla, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Could use some upkeep and updates. Was clean and comfortable. Good price.
Jody, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Unsafe, uncaring staff

Property was not clean and the room next door had a kicked in door. Front desk agent had no sympathy for this and said "oh, a guest couldn't get in their door" thinking this was an adequate explanation. As a solo older woman traveling, I immediately left the property and spent $260 at Natural Bridge Hotel to be in a safe location. There was no way I was going to spend another moment in this unsafe, unclean property.
Laurie, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

We ended up here as there were no rooms available in Lynchburg. I do not usually stay in out of the way motels. This was not a great place but the rooms were clean and the personnel friendly and responsive.

A perfect place for staying overnight. Very very friendly. Clean room. Quiet. The best place I've ever seen for parking with a big trailer!!
Elke, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It's on a scenic stretch of Rte 11 in an area of natural beauty and sights of interest. The motel is charming and cozy. An older property being well cared for.

It was a room and beds but it was small
deborah, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Sorry to write this review - Room was down a hill around back (isolated feeling), bottom floor. Room "recently renovated" (not mentioned at check-in" but no room lighting, no working TV, dirty shower, didn't want to touch anything (cleanliness). No smoke detector (hole in wall), NO DEADBOLT OR CHAIN ON DOOR, only knob lock. Large gap between door and floor (safety, vermin). No amenities. Paid same price as Holiday Inn as supposedly this was the last room on the interstate in all of Virginia! Sheets on bed were clean.
Carolyn, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great Value

We stayed here for a night it was a half way point of are trip and wanted to go see the History of land Bridge the room was clean and all linens were great it is an older hotel so did show signs of being a 30-40 year old motel but for the money this was a great spot to sleep for the night after spending the Day at the State Park 3 mins down the road!!!
Brian, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stopped spur.of the moment off the side of road. Hubby felt drained. We checked in with no problems or advance notice. Room was clean and comfortable.
Pamela, 1-night trip

We were put in a room behind the motel in what probably was a basement converted into rooms, Felt very unsafe.

Old and run down and not clean
Lori Jo, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Woke up to 3AM to bed bugs crawling on the bed. We both had bites on us. Left immediately, let the person at the front desk know and he gave us a full refund. Staff was awesome and the room wasn’t terrible but bed bugs are the worst. Be warned.

Room not ready till 5pm, no coffee, praying mantis shared room.
Roni, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This hotel is in bad condition. The carpet was filthy. The chairs had stains on them. The shower area was moldy. This was the worst hotel I have ever stayed at.
Matthew, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The gentleman at the front desk was very nice. The room didn't look that bad at first but the TV didn't work, There was no coffee maker, and there was mold on the shower curtain, and someone spilled something in the mini fridge and no one cleaned it up. I got on my phone and made another reservation at a better hotel not to far away.
Caroline, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This place was by far the worst place I’ve ever stayed in my life. Absolutely filthy. Property is disrepair. There were bugs and even boogers on the wall, not joking. The smell, I’m still trying to figure out as well. I am well traveled and just needed a place to stop and sleep but damn! Please NEVER do this to yourself…just keep driving.
Clinton, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Room was in rough condition. Bathroom door didn’t close. Toilet paper holder was broken from the wall. Other patches done were painted but never sanded. Carpet was dropped over existing floor but not installed. Refrigerator had something leak, dry on the bottom, and it was still there. We had a reservation scheduled for our return trip and we canceled and booked at another location.
Al, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The room hasn't been updated since the 50's . Non-smoking room stunk . Bathroom was set up for a midget . Didn't expect much for the low price . At least it beat sleeping in my car . Would not return or recomend it .
David, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Normally I like to stay multiple times before writing a review, but thought I would share since this is my only visit to the area. So keep that in mind for a specific room (116, which is relevant to other reviews). Before booking here I read the reviews and they were mostly a five star or a 1-2 star review. In particular, a review mentioned mold in the shower and a bathroom door that didn't shut. Others didn't mention this issue, so my assumption was that a previous guest did damage. Well, I ended up in this particular room. The bottom hinge of the bathroom door was not attached to the door causing the door to rest on the floor. This presented a challenge because my smaller children were unable to open the door once it was closed. Then the door handle on the same door was detached. After a long day of driving I didn't want to bother with moving hotels or even moving between rooms after unpacking for one night. We ended up fixing the door and the door knob. The shower is someone else's issue, but want to be clear that there was no mold that I saw and just some tile damage. On to the positives! The AC worked amazingly well (smoke from Canadian Wildfires didn't get into room). The TV was great. The beds were comfortable and a quick mattress inspection showed no signs of concerns. The view from the window was nice with a corn field and mountains visible. The two gas stations nearby also made running out for a quick grab of snacks and drinks was easy.
Thomas, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Absolutely horrible. Was up for 3 hours in the middle of the night due to a drunk guy outside our room, called the front desk 3 times and they did nothing. Finally we had to call the cops. This hotel obviously doesn’t care about their guests
