Liked: Staff & service
I expect very little from an Econo Lodge. Which is why I’d rank it as ok/fine. Nothing truly bad. However, the exorbitant amount of money we had to pay (over $400/night) felt like a big rip off. We paid it because it was all we could find in the area due to event at the university. I wouldn’t normally pay even $100 for a room like it.

Place was great to stay at, not worth a regular 500 bucks a night for sure but as a last min pick and it being so close to our activities it was great. The man at the desk was very nice and helpful

I can tolerate an uncomfortable bed and the noise in a hotel, but what I cannot tolerate is how dirty a room is. So gross, I checked out first thing the first morning - I was supposed to stay 2 nights.

I realize this was a lower end hotel, but for $175 per night, it was very dirty. Used soap and hair in bathroom--disgusting! Beds hard and uncomfortable; covers on bed the thinnest ive ever experienced. Everything looked like ownership didnt care about winning repeat customers, including lose tiles in bathroom. I stayed a total of 9 hours between check in and out, and could not wait to leave.

Great stop

Great place that is very convenient to Blacksburg. Convenient area, easy on and off 460 and 81. It’s an Econo Lodge, meets and exceeds our expectations of a motel. Thanks again.
