Lostwithiel is a riverside town in Cornwall where visitors tend to base themselves rather than pass through. There are a decent number of places to stay, ranging from the Crown Inn, which has strong ratings from over a thousand reviews, to several others clustered around the 4.3 to 4.5 mark. The Best Western Fowey Valley and The Royal Oak Inn both draw good traffic, while The Ship Inn in the nearby village of Lerryn, the Earl of Chatham, and the Kings Arms offer alternatives. These are mostly traditional inns rather than modern hotels, which sets a certain tone for a stay.
What makes Lostwithiel worth a visit will depend on what draws you to that part of Cornwall. The town sits on the River Fowey, and its position in the county means it works well as a base for exploring the wider area. The accommodation stock is solid enough that you should find a room without difficulty, and the inn-based character suggests a fairly traditional Cornish experience.
