    Showers leaked severely onto stone tile floor, inspite of trying to ensure that everything was sealed when in use and door was not left open to drip afterwards. Water pressure in shower was low but I can live with that considering the age of the hotel. Toilet room window sill was very dirty, good thing we don't use it for anything. Very firm beds, not for me and my husband but many people prefer very firm beds.

    The uniqueness of the hotel was charming. Penny Loafer was not on duty while we were there but love the idea of her as a greeter. Love the architecture throughout, shoeshine box as a picnic basket for the continental breakfast, small detail of art work in form of postcard left on bed, high ceilings in rooms, very spacious rooms. We would stay again.

    Unsure why, but the main hotel restaurant was closed during our stay. But plenty of other nearby options, including the hotel's casual Waterstone Pizza with outdoor terrace (very nice!).

    Beautifully styled hotel, very welcoming atmosphere. Staff was very professional and helpful. Great Location along the James River in Downtown Lynchburg, within easy walking distance to restaurants along the waterfront. Will stay again if we're in the area.

    Train horn blaring for a long time many times a night very loudly, the tracks run behind the building. The walls of the old building are so thin that you can and will hear absolutely everything your next door neighbors do and say, especially at night. There seems to be no noise insulation in the walls at all.

    Unique setting in an old shoe factory, beautifully preserved. Comfortable beds and spacious rooms.

    Very loud noise of trains whistling throughout the night was very distrurbing and there were no warnings of that beforehand. I literally could not sleep at all during the night we spent there.

    The interior seem “tired” and not as clean as our stay 4 years ago. Our bedding was very “crumpled”, I just had to hope it had been changed! The lighting was very dim in the vanity area.

    I liked the location and the theme of the shoe factory.

    Not much, everything works. Not much variety at gift shop.

    The breakfast is serviceable - pre-packaged muffin and apple and yogurt -- not customized and no choices BUT it IS brought to your door! Historic building is fascinating, views off bluff very nice, quiet at night.

    It does not bother us, but the hotel is close to train tracks. You can get ear plugs at the front desk if the sound might bother you.

    We stay at the Craddock-Terry at least once a year. They permit (even welcome) dogs, and have a dog in residence. We enjoy the very large rooms, comfortable beds, well-appointed bathrooms, and the convenient location in downtown Lynchburg.

    My only criticism was in the bathroom there was a humming in the air that sounded like I had tinnitus, but my partner heard it too. Also, the bed box injured me multiple times! Small complaints.

    The breakfast was wonderful, and the bed WAS SO COMFY. It was so nice, and the bathtub was enormous.
