Hotels in Farmville, VA

“Rooms were very nice and very handicap-friendly. Beautiful small town. However... made multiple calls to the front desk. They were never answered. Left message and it was never returned. Also, there are some fees that the hotel adds that are not disclosed if booking through Expedia. I would advise calling directly to reserve a room and getting the final charge in advance. Our was 15% higher than originally quoted. That was never disclosed at check-in or check-out.

Rooms: Comfortable rooms.

Nearby activities: Great restaurants near by.

Walkability: Small town and you could walk to several places easily.”

“What was observed during our stay. Lets start with the general manager Shivan, he is tasked with trying to update an aging hotel, at the same time trying to keep guests happy. All guests have different expectations for their stay. Shivan will go the extra mile to keep guests happy & contented during their stay. I read some comments from other quests, there is some truth to it but not to that extreme. Guests need to understand this hotel is located in a very small town. Farmville does not offer affordable extended stay lodging or micro-apartments like metro cities offer. If guests live in a suburban bubble or have global traveler experience, then this hotel is not for you. There are modern hotels in town and they also have their share of issues due to Farmville being a small town. The guests are coming to this hotel for the cost structure. We left the upscale hotels due to their snobbish attitudes, we were looking for more down-to-earth atmosphere. This hotel fits the bill for this. The only thing I would recommend is to replace the entry doors with modern card key locking and remove the pool and create an outdoor firepit cooking experience for guests, away from the rooms. That would go along way for creating repeat business.The staff if you are lucky to meet them have hidden skills besides their quest service duties. Gabby is a multi-tasker, she will go above and beyond for the hotel & guests. Gabby needs her own show called Gabby’s playhouse. She is always working so hard to keep all the pieces in play on a daily basis. Savannah has a hidden talent where she would be great as a product placement spokesperson (even when I start my side business in 2024, I will be calling upon her for a travel sales position). Meikus also has a hidden talent, he has mastered the small talk (gift-of-gab) if you will. I hope to see him with his own radio/youtube channel broadcasting out to us all. The ice man will miss speaking with him. Then there is Shanay, she always greets you with a smile. She will do what she can to meet a guest request, Shanay has refined skills, where she would do well in a 5 star hotel. They are ALL so kind and friendly and will always try to help a guest if it is within their power.Lastly – the beating heart of this hotel is housekeeping, the housekeeping staff are always so friendly, kind, and sweet. No matter how tired they are trying to keep the rooms clean for guests, they will always stop and chit chat for a moment making your stay ends with a friendly experience. When it comes to gossip, housekeeping staff sees and knows all. If you want to know what is happening they are the go-to people for happenings.Wrapping up, if I was the general manager, providing daily lunch to staff will go a long way. They all work hard to give the guests the experience they request. It is hard to fill all, but they do what they can.From a business standpoint, if this hotel could be turned into tiny micro apartments it would fill a huge gap that Farmville is missing. Affordable long term corporate style lodging.My mom and I want to thank everyone during our duration at this hotel. Good Luck Shivan with future endeavors.Walkability: if you are a fast walker like myself, all stores are within a few minutes away.”
