“Stink Bug Infestation!!!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 October 2010

We've stayed here before and liked it very much but our latest experience was horrible! We got in really late and the room was hot so when I went to turn on the air, my hand almost touched several bugs crawling around the unit! I gasped and then looked up to see at least 60 stink bugs on the window and ceiling!

We called and was given a room that had only one bug on the wall. However, by morning when we opened the curtains, there were 20 on the window. I could not wait to get out of there! The hairdryer did not work and called the front desk who said they'd get one to us but it never came. When we left, we saw thousands of stink bugs in the ceiling corridor. Uuugh! I hope we don't have to stay there again!!!

“Good service, clean rooms & excellent breakfast”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 August 2010

This was an unscheduled stop over while traveling on highway 29. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the accommodation. To begin with, the hotel has lots of parking face. So, even on busy days, one can be assured of a spot. Hotel staff is very friendly and eager to help. The room was clean and included all modern amenities. However, the highlight of the experience was the morning breakfast. The hotel offers a diverse offering that would rival any of the established breakfast restaurants. Hotel also offers a business center and a fitness room. Overall, I had an excellent stay at this place and would definitely recommend to anyone travelling in the vicinity of Altavista/ Lynchburg.

“Very nice stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 July 2010

We had a very good experience. We were traveling along Hwy 29 with no plans on where to stay or what to do. It was getting late and we needed a place the stay the night when we found this hotel using our GPS. The clerk at the desk was very friendly and helpful! She checked us in smoothly and we were off to our room. The room was very clean! The beds were a little stiff, but we are a family used to waterbeds so most hotel beds are uncomfortable to us. Breakfast in the morning was very good and filling. It was more than a normal continental breakfast. They had eggs, gravy, bacon, waffles, and HARD biscuits. I would say that the biscuits were the only thing that we didn't enjoy. The entire staff was excellent! The hotel was very quiet also. We were staying on the road side of the hotel, but we only heard one loud motorcycle during the night. All in all a very nice stay!!!
