Very clean, well appointed rooms. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We had dinner and drinks in the restaurant and it was very convenient and the food was great.
The General Lewis Inn is so beautiful and located conveniently near the center of Lewisburg. The bedroom was very comfortable. The bar was nice, but there's no food during the middle of the week.
Love the historical ambiance and proximity to downtown Lewisburg. The staff was very helpful with their recommendations for restaurants and site seeing. The bed was too hard for our liking, but overall, we enjoyed our stay and would stay again.
The Inn is always clean. Staff is friendly and helpful. Love the charm of a non-chain hotel. The front and back porches are wonderful places to sit and relax. I also enjoy walking to the downtown shops and restaurants from the Inn.
The room was very clean, well appointed, and comfortable. Staff were extremely helpful and the dinner was lovely.
Our only disappointment was that "continental breakfast" consisted only of a small muffin. Adding some fruit and yogurt, for example, would make it consistent with the rest of the positive experience.
Great staff, very friendly and attentive.
The hotel is an old house, but it has been well
maintained and has a really cool vibe. We loved the bar and lobby area as well as the restaurant. The drinks and food were 10/10!
Very nice place. I would stay here again, but I would make sure I had a room on the 2nd floor. We were on the first floor and it was noisy. Other than that, everything was great.
Extremely charming. The beds are GREAT. The dinner was superb and the bartender is excellent.

Staff was very friendly, and welcoming. Property is historical. Had an excellent dinner. Jay behind the bar is a true mixologist. The signsture cocktails on the list are all his creation. The bar itself is small but comfy with a fireplace.
Carpet was dirty, no place for toiletries in bathroom, bathroom door didn’t latch, had to ask for hot water to make tea, only one handicapped parking spot. Convenient location but overpriced.
Nice Historical property should replace the mattress in our room with a pillow top type unit. Included continental breakfast offering was very limited a few mini muffins and some mandarins with coffee and tea......could do better there.
This charming historic hotel provided my husband and I a wonderful visit to Lewisburg WV. The hotel staff were very accommodating and our room was so pretty and clean. The bedding was so luxurious. We enjoyed the short walk to the shops and restaurants. I took advantage of the yoga studio that was .3 miles away. We will be back

Basic room was just ok. Bathroom was tiny and bathtub needed reglazing. Bar was excellent and staff were good. Breakfast was just cheap, grocery store-like muffins. It is well situated to walk to all the shops. I just didn’t think it was worth the price.
I’ve visited the General Lewis on several occasions for their swoon worthy weekend brunch service, but this was my first time staying on property. I have to say, the accommodations did not disappoint.
This historical inn exudes charm and blends old world attributes with modern conveniences seamlessly. History buffs will enjoy the many antique artifacts featured throughout the hotel that serve as both decor and a peek at the past. Contemporaries will enjoy the on-site bar and lounge where unique libations, and many of their ingredients, are developed in-house.

It’s a historic hotel so that’s the niche. There is no refrigerator or microwave in the room. if anything needs refrigerated you have to ask staff they might put medicine or something like that in their fridge in the back somewhere. No way to keep cold bottles of water or anything like that. We couldn’t keep the ice packs for the car cooler frozen. My mom asked for a bottle of water at the bar and was told there was none. The bartender didn’t bother to give her even a glass of water while charging me $26 for a bloody mary. She’s almost 80 and can’t have alcohol. No luggage trolley. There’s no food of any kind except weekends. No snack machine pop nothing. The AC kicks on in the room it’s so loud it’s unbearable and the other one in the back area didn’t work at all. Parking is very tight. The feather pillows and comforter were absolute perfection but the mattress was so hard (firm) my back and hips ached the second night so bad no sleep to be had. I don’t see me staying there again if I do it’ll be for my mom i’ll take an air mattress and suffer with very little ice and nothing cold to drink. And nothing to eat unless we find a restaurant that’s a whole ‘nother review which also is not 5 stars either. Sorry but people need to know what’s about to happen to them. The End lol.
What a beautiful place. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. The staff were all extremely nice and helpful. We ate dinner in their restaurant and the food was great. We had the trout and crab cakes. The place was extremely clean and well maintained. Loved our room. If we're ever in the area again, we'll definitely being staying again.
