If you are one of those people who look for fault in everywhere they stay the General Lewis Inn is not for you. Leave it for people who appreciate the crack in the walls, the creaky floor and the lack of mini fridge in the room. The Inn is 192 years old, built in 1834. It’s charming, quiet and a great location to downtown.
Love staying here. It’s super charming filled with history. It’s been well taken care of. The rooms are all different.
I enjoying walking downtown to eat and shop.
The property was beautiful and very well kept. The interior was immaculate. Staff was extremely help and friendly.
Our room was smaller than we would prefer, but well furnished and clean.
Beautiful Inn with the most attentive and welcoming staff. Truly a picturesque place to stay within walking distance of all the downtown restaurants and shops. We had both brunch and dinner at the inn a they were both phenomenal. Cocktails were equally amazing. Beds were a little firm which did not bother me, but did bother some in my group, however all said they would definitely come back and stay again. Many pros to this property and would highly recommend staying if you don’t mind a firmer mattress!
The "free" breakfast was 2 different kinds of muffins. If you wanted milk or juice you had to pay for it. The free bottle of water didnt taste very good. Beautiful place though.
Two things I did NOT like were:
1. The bathroom was far too small and cramped.
2. The restaurant was not open during my stay. Are the rates higher on days their restaurant is open?
Otherwise it was a very nice hotel with friendly, courteous staff.
I definitely enjoyed where the hotel was located walkable to everything I wanted to see ! I definitely enjoyed my room it felt like I was visiting a family members home. The food was delicious and I definitely enjoyed the creativity of the drink menu ! My Jack and coke was delicious !
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.
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.
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 staff was outstanding. Very friendly and helpful. The facility was very clean. The only issue I had was the breakfast was not good. It consisted of a small muffin with no taste to it. It should not be called a breakfast. Very disappointed.
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.
Friendly staff. We were given a room better suited to a single person but managed to change (for a fee). Enjoyed dinner in the restaurant.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
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.
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
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.
This charming place just gets better and better. Their dining room is excellent, staff attentive and ambience just what I need after six hours on the road. Cheers to all!
