Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Torn blankets, stains on the ceilings, spider webs and a filthy door that looks like someone tried to claw their way out. Not a 3+ star facility and I paid WAY too much to stay here out of parent weekend desperation.

You get what you pay for. The stay was average. Not good, not bad. Of note, the floor was FILTHY. I showered, walked around the room barefoot doing hair and makeup and when I went to put shoes on the bottom of my feet were BLACK.

re-booked the room I'd used the night before

I did not think that I would enjoy my grandson's graduation as much as I did, so I had only booked one night. When my ex-son-in-law and his girlfriend were so welcoming, I decided to book for a second night. I was given the same room as the previous night, so locating the room was no problem.

Nice room

I booked the hotel so that I could attend my grandson's high school graduation. The clerk was very friendly and helpful. The cleaning service was anxious to get into my room to clean at 10:15, so I felt rushed in getting out of the room.

Econo Lodge Christiansburg-Blacksburg I-81 was just what I was looking for, a comfortable, quiet and affordable place to stay while I was helping my graduate move out from his apartment. The bed was pleasantly comfortable, and even with it being a motel, it was quiet, safe and cozy (I’m not usually a motel person). My only complaint is with the parental restrictions on the T.V. They should lift those when an adult is staying in the room, I wasn’t able to watch anything listed “for mature audiences only”. Great place! Thanks for your hospitality!

Staff was helpful and friendly. The room was clean. Hotel was overpriced for being so dated, but it was graduation weekend. Perhaps the price would be more appropriate on a regular weekend.
