Needed a night away from the kids & picked The Grand Essential. We had a king suite with a city view & it was amazing. The room was spacious, the beds were comfortable. There was free covered parking right next to the hotel & it is situated in downtown Lynchburg directly across from a Performing Arts venue. The staff was helpful & we loved it so much we decided to make it our getaway place. Highly recommend. It’s an older historical hotel that is currently being renovated. My only critique would be the lack of breakfast offerings, but there are numerous places nearby to eat.

Parking is a breeze in the attached garage. Check-in was easy (as was check-out). Everything in the room worked well. The decor/furnishings are dated, but then the price is very reasonable. I would stay here again.

Very clean room, very clean area at the front desk. This hotel is pretty old, but they are remodeling it. Which is why there is some items that can be improved. The room we were in was HUGE. Once they remodel this will be 5 star rating across the board! I will 100% be staying there again.

Staff was excellent. The room had a jacuzzi tub that didn't work. The bathroom ceiling was cracked. The bathroom walls were bubbled an decaying. The room door didn't work correctly. The huge king size room with a sofa, had a tiny 32 in TV about 15 years old. The mattress wasn't comfortable. The biggest problem was no breakfast.
