West End Flats = Quality

We were very pleased with how nice and clean everything was. Even the hallways smelled fresh and clean. We could not hear people in the units beside or above us which made for restful nights. The units were nicely furnished with a complete kitchen and shower tub. Being pet friendly, we were able to bring our cats who really enjoyed the big windows. The location is convenient to downtown Roanoke which allowed us to enjoy the local restaurants and even a brewery, A Few Old Goats, is attached and has a nice open patio space to enjoy an evening ale. The Host was extremely friendly and accessible making us feel like valued guests. I would recommend this location to family & friends.
View of living room from kitchen. Full kitchen has sink, oven, microwave & Fridge. There’s a giant TV on the wall.
Spacious bedroom that also has a giant TV on the wall.
Full bathroom.

Perfect except the towels.

Always a pleasant stay here. Huge tvs and massive sq. footage for a low price. However, they could offer better towels. These are some old towels I would not use on my body if i was at home.

Spacious apartment but housekeeping needs work

The apartment has an "industrial" decor. The floor is cement (and cold) and the rooms are very darkly decorated. It had a man-cave feel to it. It was definitely not the cleanest, as hair was in the bathroom in the tub and on the washer/dryer. The floor was so sticky we had to wash our shoes after we left. The bed was extremely comfortable and the apartment is spacious with huge TVs in the living and bedrooms. Smoke detectors were going off in multiple apartments on our floor until midnight - this was unfortunate!

I was in apt 102 and the door to the bathroom facing the kitchen got jammed and I couldn’t open it when I was inside. I thought the second door was just a closet lol but luckily it led to the bedroom and I could leave. Also I felt like the booking process could have been clearer about filling out the form in order to be sent access codes.

I love that this is a repurposed elementary school! It was clean, roomy for the two of us (and our dogs). Plenty of grassy area. We are notbeer drinkers but the brewery is a great idea and looked like a nice patio to hang out in if it had been warmer. It is also convenient for a quick drive to downtown. We have already referred a friend to this place and would stay again if we return to Roanoke.

Great stay. Lets do even better

Great stay great place. 5 stars. But if you really want to get picky, there is room for improvement: 1. Add shade curtains. 2. Raise beds higher. 3. Clean/wipe counters better. 4. Dont leave stinky cleaning carts in the basement apartments hallway. Its stinky. 5. Add a bidet would be a plus.
