This is a place located on a quiet road outside of the Virginia Tech campus and downtown Blacksburg. It is older and very basic in every way; there is no coffee maker in the room. Last check-in is at 11:00, and they were waiting up for us at 10:00. They helped us park and offered to help us carry in our luggage, a level of helpfulness I have not seen at any similar property.

You can't beat the location + price combination! Walkable (about a mile or so) to Lane Stadium, so you could avoid parking fees and traffic for games, graduations, and other events. While the facility is older, the staff keep the rooms fresh, clean, and comfortable. They even had a nice size mini fridge and microwave. The best aspect are the people. I get the impression this is a family-owned motel, and they were incredibly nice. I came in late evening Saturday for the Hokie Half Marathon on Sunday. The gentleman at the front desk greeted me, we had a fund conversation as I checked in, and he offered to help me with parking in the back. Moreover, when I explained I was there for the race, they offered a late checkout. I was able to come back, rest for a bit, and shower without being bothered by the cleaning team. The cleanliness, comfort, price, and small niceties make this my new go-to when I'm in Blacksburg.

We were going to be in Blacksburg for just one night on a busy VT weekend. Rather than spend $300 for one night in an average hotel, we read reviews in the VT Parents Facebook group, rolled the dice and stayed here. Great decision! While the Inn is dated, our room was exceptionally clean, the king size bed was brand new, and the owner treats you like family. Truly a nice guy. And we saved $200 in the process, so an all-around win. We will be back!

Lovely people. This is an older property that has received some cosmetic upgrades, but could use some capital improvements. It was very clean. I do wish they had addidtional locks on the doors - I did not feel unsafe, but there was only one lock - a turn bolt, but no slide bolt or internal only lock at this motel.
