Top Amherst Hotel Reviews

Fairfield Inn & Suites Lynchburg Liberty University

8/10 Good

"The room was very clean. The pool was warm and very enjoyable. The view from our room was amazing, looking down over Liberty and the mountains. My only complaint was that the bed was too firm for me. Also the breakfast was sort of mediocre."

Spark by Hilton Lynchburg

10/10 Excellent

"Loved seeing my name welcoming me the the room on the Large TV and liked the no carpet floor. Very clean"

The Gin Hotel, an Ascend Collection Hotel

8/10 Good

"Another wonderful stay in Lexington while visiting my daughter at VMI. I love the location of the Gin though I will say this time I didn’t sleep very well due to hallway noise and overall room discomfort. AC worked well, but the room was just loud, awkward light coming in from outside and awkward outlet offerings in the room just made for a bit perfect trip as I have had in the past."

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Lexington, VA

10/10 Excellent

"Great for a road trip stop for the night. Pretty nice spread for breakfast too."

Natural Bridge Hotel, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

8/10 Good

"It is a great hotel and the place is wonderful to visit. But it still has not recovered fully from the COVID era. One thing I really disliked was that the bath towels were small, very worn and hard like a sandpaper. Likely they never used a softener in washing them. I'd recommend bring your own towels and bath amenities if you are not baggage limited."

Love Ridge Mountain Lodging

10/10 Excellent

"This place was excellent. Very clean and quiet. Sherando lake was only 4 miles away with great hiking trails. The beds were very comfortable. Would definitely stay at this place again."
