The staff was very nice. The property is very dated.
Love this hotel. Staff a the quietness. Just needs more renovations as the door card locks are no working 60% of the time. And the tvs are horrible: hit on miss if remotes work.
The hotel is nice. In the downtown area so very walkable. Parking does seem limited. Also, we were notified upon check in that they've done away with their breakfast so you may want to take that into consideration. The beds also were quite small for two people. Overall, service was good and it met our expectations.
This hotel is older, but very clean and has a lot of character! The staff was extremely helpful and friendly and all the support personnel were equally great. The price was very good, and the downtown location was charming. It was just a block away within walking distance to the iconic 90 year old Texas Inn! I will definitely make this my go-to hotel in Lynchburg.
We liked the locality of the hotel in the historic downtown, and is walkable to few iconic restaurants and a performance theater. Hotel staff were very kind, however the breakfast wasn’t good.

Property is a little dated but very clean, comfortable beds, great price, and friendly, helpful staff.
Parking was real easy and free. The AC worked very well. I wanted a full on breakfast instead of just a continental one. Bed was very comfortable.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The best part of the entire stay was the friendliness of the staff. Property conditions: there was a raining period which resulted in several leaks in entrance and parking area.
It was a quick trip to see grandchildren and returned to the Grand and the place was rather nice and quiet as always. The staff as friendly as ever and the breakfast was hot and fresh and well stocked. The breakfast attendant was outstanding and was quickly helping multiple guest and items at one time. His personality and hustle was greatly appreciated.
The hotel is dated and is in need of a full upgrade and renovation. I expected a “real” buffet breakfast but only got watered down coffee and packaged, overly sweet muffins. The main reasons, I booked this hotel was location, free buffet breakfast and the gym. The gym was HORRIBLE, it should have been closed for the mildew and mold. Clearly, this hotel needs a lot of work. I gave a 3 stars because the staff were friendly, hospitable and helpful.
