"As a constant visitor of Lexington for the better part of the last 10 years, Best Western is actually one of the better hotels at the more budget price point. Check in was easy, staff was very nice, and hotel room itself was very clean. Didn't realize it's the type of hotel where the door to your room leads directly to the parking lot/outside world, but the door felt secure enough despite that fact. Definitely recommend for VMI families looking to spend a last-minute weekend in town or need a budget option for a big weekend like Matriculation or Graduation. For 2026 Matriculation, price was roughly $150 with tax - the Holiday Inn Express right behind this Best Western was double that price. Bottom line, you get what you pay for, but you actually get more than expected here."

"The view of the lake was great. Relaxing, laid -back setting. They have a nice blacktop trail around the lake, bring your fishing pole and artificial bait no live bait. I was told sometimes the park rangers come down and fish with the kids.The rooms are dated but nice and clean. It would have been nice if there was a microwave and a mini fridge. They offered s'mores by the campfire which was a big hit with the kids. The Restaurant had good service and food. We spent 2 days there on our way to the beach and visited The Natural Bridge area. There was a lot more to explore so we'll be back."

Love Ridge Mountain Lodging

8/10 Good
"Location was great, right off the Blue Ridge Parkway. Be sure to take screenshots of your check-in code before arriving as there’s spotty Wi-Fi so we couldn’t even call the host. We drove down the road until we got LTE bars on cell phone and then we could check in. Bed was comfy, shower good. Lots of privacy; didn’t hear the neighbors in the cabin next to Dripping Rock. Didn’t use the big tub. Loved the quiet location & all the fireflies. Saw lots of deer & bunnies. Arrived during the Canadian wildfire smoke so that obscured a lot of views. Be sure to visit nearby Sherando (?) Lake nearby: nice beach, outdoor shower, swim to an island, hike trails around it (no lifeguard so be attentive), campsites, picnic tables. Glad we picked it and way quieter than the massive Wintergreen resort."
