Fort Chiswell Vacations from $968

I’ve stayed in many inns& this is a nice inn. But it could be better. On arrival, the grass was a bit overgrown. However, it did get mowed the next day (Saturday). A vacuum cleaner was left in the hallway, & a ladder was left open in another hallway. The owner‘s daughter was getting married the following day so understandable that it was a busy time. But with a business partner, these small things could have been avoided. Breakfast was included in the room rate. They advertise that the breakfast is made to order. Mine may have been made to order, but it looked and tasted like it was made hours earlier. It was just okay. On my second day, they forgot to prepare breakfast for me and gave me $24 to compensate. The room is nicely furnished, but one of the lamps was defective. Both were turned on and off by touch. On one lamp, I touched in every location to turn the lamp on and off to the point that my finger was uncomfortable, and I gave up on trying to find the right place to turn it off with touch and had to loosen the bulb to get the light turned off. The ceiling fan light is also defective. Twice in the middle of the night, the light came on and I had to get up and dabble with the remote to get it turned off which was a sleep interruption. I recommend that they put at least one bottle of water in the refrigerator for guests along with tissues in the bathroom. Front porch is nice! I rate it an 8.0.

Staff was great gave us late check out because we had our dog at VATech for procedure.

The hotel property is very run down. The room was not terrible, as clean as they could get it considering how run down it was. So many things were held together with duct tape, including the air conditioner. Coffee machine was dirty, coffee supplies were mostly not supplied. there were clean towels each day but one tube of shampoo and two tiny soaps for 4 days. Breakfast was white sliced bread and cold cereal. Juice machine didn't work. There were weird green lights that shone in the window all night.
