We had such a wonderful experience at the Inn. We celebrated our anniversary and the staff made it so special by upgrading us to a bigger room. We also received a personal note wishing us a Happy Anniversary from the front desk and a personal note from Candy that cleaned our room. The room was beautiful and immaculate. The hotel is beautiful on the inside and outside. The atmosphere was quite a peaceful. Ilona at the front desk was exceptionally great. She was so kind and polite and very welcoming. Thanks to all of the great staff for making our stay and anniversary special.

The Inn is a great location for the conference that I attended there. The checking was fast. I had a 2 bed room, which was large for just a single person. The room is a little dated, especially the bathroom with the shower in the bath. It was comfortable and quiet. I didn’t have time to use any of the other facilities. The hotel and conference center are located in a green area, and the gardens were very nice in spring time.

We have stayed here twice in the last month. Each time for a few days. 1st our daughters dissertation, then graduation. Both times were excellent. House-keeping was great ( I do not remember their names, sorry). waitress at the Loyal was phenomenal!!!.Remembered us on the second visit. I highly recommend the espresso, she makes! excellent location for us visiting campus. quiet hotel, good rooms, spacious for what we needed. I regret we did not try this sooner. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

My top-tier chum and I came down to Blacksburg because she wanted to visit her old campus for the first time since she graduated about 25 years ago (yes, we are ancient and whatnot). One of the first decisions we made on this trip (and she made it) was where we would stay in Blacksburg, and my chum insisted on coming here so that we were actually on campus and she could test out The Inn, which wasn't here during her time. Apparently the local highway setup is also different, so it was a pleasant surprise to find this hotel very easily; lots of nearby signage and oodles of parking. It was also pretty accessible to the downtown area, a walk of approximately 10 minutes. This was my first time at VA Tech - I've driven down 81 past the exit, but never actually laid eyes on the campus. Like pretty much all of the buildings nearby associated with the university, The Inn seems to be made of this Hokie Stone material that can be, I assume, mined or something nearby. It makes for a pretty pleasant optic, but literally every building has it so there's not much that really distinguishes the Inn or its neighboring structures from each other, other than a few really prominent buildings nearby. We had a room on the second floor a short walk from the lobby/check-in area (which was nice enough - it had a small fireplace with seating nearby, a Hokie statue and a little storefront to buy toiletries, snacks, etc.). It was clean and perfectly fine; this isn't a 5-star hotel, but that's not an insult, as it's not claiming to be. If you saw the room without any context, it just looks like an Embassy Suites or something to that effect. This part of our trip was more about exploring and reacquainting my chum with her ye olde college life so we really didn't spend a ton of time in the room beyond sleeping/napping; that activity went very well in my estimation, so the beds were comfortable enough. We also made use of the gym on the first floor for about 15 minutes' worth of cardio; no complaints there. Depending on your perspective, it was very quiet during our stay. Graduation was a week earlier so the vast majority of the student population was already gone, and we didn't see a ton of people in the hotel or on campus beyond employees and construction workers taking advantage of the offseason. I think it would had a more exciting vibe with an uptick in visitors (especially in the above average bar/restaurant off to the left of the lobby, The Loyal), but I'm definitely not complaining about the peace and quiet. We had a very pleasant interaction with one of the staffers at reception when we got there, who was from NJ as well and was helpful/accommodating with our questions. None of our other exchanges were notable or particularly lengthy, but we were greeted with a smile by literally everyone we encountered. If that's not the definition of hospitality, I don't know what it is (I'm sure my top-tier chum who literally went to the school of hospitality down the street could speak to that at length). A nice experience all the way around, and The Inn served its purpose.

I attended a conference in the Skelton Center and stayed at the hotel. Great meeting room with above average food. My room was comfortable and clean. A non foam pillow would have been nice. They have a nice bar and social area.
