General Lewis Inn
LEWISBURG · WEST VIRGINIA · APPALACHIAN INN

A historic house with
a room worth choosing.

A 23-room historic inn in Lewisburg, where an 1834 residence and a 1928 hotel wing hold distinct rooms, a garden, the Thistle Lounge, and contemporary Southern cooking. The digital experience should make that character easier to browse, compare, and book.

4 priority findings selected from the current review

Priority findings and recommended moves

  • FINDING 01
    Room navigation is cross-wired
    The header labels The Rooms, Specialty Rooms, All Guestrooms, and Availability, but the linked copy-of slugs render different page headings. Guests can land on a page that does not match the label they chose.
    Recommended move: Create a clean room information architecture with matching labels, headings, URLs, and room filters.
  • FINDING 02
    Book Now exposes a draft-looking URL
    The global Book Now CTA points to /copy-of-availability, which reads like an unfinished page slug at the highest-intent moment in the journey.
    Recommended move: Use a human availability route and connect the CTA to a clearly explained room selection step.
  • FINDING 03
    Natural room paths return 404
    The intuitive /rooms, /availability, and /contact paths return 404 while the working pages use copy-of slugs. Shared links and search visitors are exposed to unnecessary dead ends.
    Recommended move: Publish canonical human routes and redirect old or intuitive paths to the correct live destination.
  • FINDING 04
    The room story is buried in the page structure
    The underlying property has individually named rooms and a strong historic story, but the navigation and draft-like slugs make it harder to understand which room is right before booking.
    Recommended move: Lead with a visual choose-your-room flow, then let guests move from room personality to availability without losing context.
