Clean and well run hotel, and Neil at the front desk is very accommodating and professional. Rooms are a bit small for what I am used to, but for a few nights, it was perfect. Rooms are well stocked with all you need, and surprisingly quiet though it's off a busy road. Thank you!

Tiny but cute. No breakfast.
WAY overpriced because of college graduation weekend. Tiny room. No breakfast or restaurant. This room is worth maybe $145 per night - they charged me $368 Including tax. Horrible AC unit. It’s a motel, not a hotel. Room is cute and quaint. But did I say tiny?

Fantastic Find!
We were so pleased with this motel! They had imagined every possible need, down to a reading lamp by the bed in case your partner is asleep. It is absolutely charming. The snacks were perfect. Probably most important, the room was spotless. Also, the shower rocked! It was powerful and hot. I would definitely stay here again. It's a beautiful spot in Virginia.

Nice little gem
A real great stay at this cute hotel. The service was excellent and welcoming, the rooms had been newly renovated and were very very clean. Bed was super comfortable. Attention to detail in the decor and the complimentary snacks basket was a nice touch. This is a motel style accommodation so the room are small, but the other pros offset this. There was a little musty smell in our room and the Aircon was a little noisy, but honestly don't hesitate to book this gem so close to the blue ridge! We even extended our stay one night.

The inn is so lovely and comfortable with many amenities. From the outside it definitely has a motor lodge feel, but the room is updated with nice furnishings. I would definitely stay here again.

Great, Clean, Updated room.
So nice to have a CLEAN, UPDATED and NICE room. Frankly many hotels I’ve stayed in are gross and not worth the $115+ per night (really not worth $15). However, the Amherst Inn is great! Impressed by the service, cleanliness, furniture and amenities. Thank you to the management and all employees.

Surprisingly very nice hotel.
It is an old motel type place, but very nice. It has been remodeled and landscaping added. You can tell they take pride in their hotel. Would highly recommend.

This property was a surprise! A renovated motel that was adorable. Beautifully appointed in every way. There was even a little seating area outside and a gazebo for smokers. The owners were very nice and the rooms came with small built in bookshelves and a magazine rack. I can't imagine anyone who wouldn't enjoy a stay here.
