“Quiet and clean room”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 28, 2012

I called while on a road trip to make a reservation and the price quoted was more than I was willing to pay. However, i asked the reservations clerk if there might be a better price available. She thought about it a minute and then returned to the phone to ask if we would be willing to take a room without a view for a substantial savings. I quickly agreed because we would be checking in well after dark and leaving very early the next morning. i understand that the hotel has beautiful view of the mountains but if you are arriving late and leaving early, the savings are well worth it. I certainly appreciated her suggestion.Our room was very clean, comfortable and quiet.Do be aware that no breakfast is offered with the price of the room but that did not matter to us. We would definitely stay there again.

west73,

We appreciate that you found us to be a cozy stay on your roadtrip and that our staff was attentive to your needs. You are correct that a great majority of our rooms have wonderful views of Blue Ridge Shadows Golf Club and the Blue Ridge Mountains, but we do offer rooms with reduced views and a generous discount. We are glad that you found this to your benefit.

We do offer a wonderful a la carte priced breakfast at our full service restaurant, Houlihan's, located on the lobby level, as we would hate for our guests to head out on the road hungry. We even offer a few rates that include the breakfast.

Thank you for choosing us and we wish you safe travels!

“Wedding Reception”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 20, 2012

We had my daughter's wedding reception here. The staff was great with both the planning stages and the execution. Lucy Warner, the events coordinator, was excellent. She was accessible, knowledgeable, professional and even cheerful throughout the whole process. She was great with last minute changes and answered all of my questions completely and accurately. The reception was beautiful, the food was great and the staff amazing. The entire thing well-exceeded my expectations. Having the reception at the same hotel as where the guests are staying is a real plus. The hotel rooms are clean, well appointed and very comfortable. Great value. =)

Room Tip: ask for a room overlooking the golf course, very pretty view.

“Love this hotel!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 14, 2012

I stayed here in March 2011 but didn't write a review. I'm trying to get better at leaving feedback as I so highly value other people's feedback!

This hotel is in a great location; the room was spacious and clean (I had a king bed on the 1st floor), and the staff was very helpful and attentive - everything you want in a hotel!

I highly recommend this hotel and will use it whenever I'm in the area.

“A Must in Front Royal, Virginia”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 11, 2012

Wonderful, clean, spacious room. Everyone was friendly and seemed happy to be doing what they were doing. It was comfortable sitting in the lobby and the room was comfortable enough to sit in and visit without sitting on the bed. Enjoyed my stay and will stay there on my return trip. Ate at the restaurant Houlihan's ...it was awesome and filled with locals!!

Room Tip: Only saw our room but it was very quiet...did not hear hall noise or noise from other rooms.

“Excellent”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 6, 2012

This hotel is lovely, fabulous views, top notch housekeeping, friendly staff, comfortable, on-site restaurant/bar. It's got everything really. Just 55 miles from Dulles International Airport but you wouldn't think so with views of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains and the lovely town of Front Royal just down the road. Highly recommended.
