The staff is amazing, the rooms are always clean & comfortable, overall it's quiet and we feel safe leaving tools on the back of the truck with it parked in eye sight. The breakfast selection is slim, but that's at most places these days.

We stayed here for a VT football game. The room was borderline gross. We were not comfortable bathing there, as the bathroom floor looked terrible. Doors look like they hadn’t been cleaned (maybe ever). The primary door inside/outside, took a good shove just to get it to close completely. The check in lady was nice - about the only redeeming quality. I wouldn’t recommend staying here unless it was your absolute last resort.

Not pleased.

The room was very outdated, the beds were hard as a rock and the covers were like sheets of paper. The breakfast was a joke, only good thing was the shower. Way too overpriced as well. I get it it's a Va Tech game, but absolutely ridiculous price for one night.
