We stayed here for an annual soccer event at VTech. The hotel is great! The location is close to everything. It has a pretty lobby with lots of sitting areas, a clean indoor pool with outside patio and very nice employees. The rooms are large with a fridge & a pull-out couch. There is lots of parking and overall the... More

I just felt the need to write a review on this hotel. First and foremost the staff, amazing! Alex at the front desk, working the late shifts really needs to be commended for his kind demeanor, helpfulness and accommodating nature. I've stayed here frequently over the past couple months, always getting in late and he's always my go-to guy willing... More

First of all, I should start saying that my husband and I have gone cross country, camping, motels and hotels. From all the places we've stayed this is by far the best. The facilities are great, staff do a great job to keep it neat, but the customer service its exceptional. From the front desk, to the kitchen manager, to... More

We stayed in this hotel for about a month when we first came to Blacksburg. We stayed in a suite, on the fifth floor. Overall, this was a very good stay, with only a few minor problems. All members of staff were very friendly and helpful - this was a definite plus point for this hotel. Our room was spacious,... More

Just returned from what looks to be our first of many visits to VT. The hotel was nice & clean but no surprises. What really set it apart from comparable hotels at this price point was the staff. Juan at breakfast, Juanita in housekeeping, but most of all Val at the front desk could not have been nicer. It is... More

We stayed here on a recent trip to look at Virginia Tech. The hotel is new and clean. They put me in a larger room because mine was not ready. The staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel is very convenient to Tech and the visitor's center.

I was travelling for a conference at VT and came across this hotel. We booked about a month ahead of time, and everything was great! The lobby/breakfast space is nicely decorated, and the room was great! It was much bigger than I was expecting and had all of the amenities that you would expect. But the best thing about this...

Nice place but a bit noisy if you're near the pool. Couldn't find a hairdryer or safe but didn't bother to ask. The air condition is a bit noisy since it's right by the bed. Room had two chairs with footstools. Breakfast was good, standard hotel fare. Would stay there again.
