My husband and I had never been to Blacksburg and decided to see the famous campus. We opted to stay at the Inn and were so impressed with the excellent service, comfortable bed, overall cleanliness, and room design. It was a treat and wonderful change from chain hotels.

Amazing hotel! I attended an event here and all the amenities were amazing. Venue was beautiful and sort close to VT. The staff we interacted with was super friendly. I would definitely hold my event here in the future

Great experience! very clean and staff really polite, king, generous and helpful. I will stay there because the great hospitality from all the employees that work there including the restaurant. Drivers from Shuttles are amazing!! they help us a lot and they were happy to do so.
Thank you!!

Nice place, but Virginia Tech uses the conference center, alumni center, and ballroom for a lot of their events so the lobby/front desk area is super crowded a lot of the time. If you're looking for a quiet place, this isn't for you.

The setting for the Inn is beautiful. My husband and I were guest from June 11-14 and love the location but the service was unexpectedly lacking. And I am taking in to consideration all the changes due to Covid 19. There is NO room service unless you request it. Which I did after the first day, because I was not told when we checked in that you had to request room service the night before. Long story, short the second day No room service. On the third day we got minimal service. No new soaps, no straightening the bed when the trash was emptied no new bag in the garbage can, no new paper cups. I will say the young man at the front desk did bring us new towels on the second day. When we checked out I told the young lady at the front how we were disappointed in the service since we had never experienced this before while staying there. She just nodded and said she was sorry. I am sure the manager was there with her and he looked up from the computer and continued with his work. Maybe if we had experienced this in the past while staying there it could have been expected of course if this had been a prior experience we would not have gone back. Very different, everyone just going through the motions and really just do not care. This is not what you think of when you think of Virginia Tech. I do not like to be negative but you pay good money to enjoy a beautiful place when you are on vacation.

Clean.

Service exceptional. Tables attractive
Items to be passed shouldn't be placed so close to centerpiece as too hard for ladies to reach .

I went here for Dinner at Preston's. The appetizers were phenomenal, the main course just as good, and the desert astounding. The prices are what you might expect from a higher end restaurant but are well worth it. The staff was very polite and personable. I will be visiting again for future celebrations.

Still a good hotel, but food service is not stellar at the in house restaurant. We ordered a bottle of vino for the table and the waitress who tried to serve it did not know how to open and serve it. For rooms costing over $300 per night one expects more. Menu is understandably limited but no choices of sides with entree and you may want to ask about inclusions before ordering. Lighting adds to ambience but does not aid one's reading the menu.

I was in the Cascades conference room on the third floor. They had snacks, water bottles, pens and paper available for us. The sound and video were both good for the presentation and the chairs were comfortable, standard conference room chairs.

The inn is beautiful this time of year with all of its lovely decorations and special trees submitted by different businesses and organizations. It's a beautiful big hotel with lots of wonderful events.

I've stayed there for one night before, and the rooms are very nice. However, the main reason I go there is for their restaurant, Preston's. Their food, although slightly pricey (over $20 for an entree), is very good as well as their service.

Great location for roaming around campus and downtown Blacksburg, and the hotel and grounds have the great Hokiestone look to match. Rooms were nice, sufficiently spacious, and clean, and the staff was friendly. Would certainly stay here again.

I went to a conference here. The attention to the detailed was a phenomenon. The salines are very comfortable and well lit; the food provided better than anticipated; and everything very well organized.

Love this place, will stay here again the next time my parents are in town. They have a shuttle that you can request to drop you and pick you up anywhere in a 3-mile radius(so, most of Blacksburg)

Nothing fancy about the rooms here (at least, not the low-end rate room that we got), but you can't beat the location on the VT campus. The building is great, and there is a lot to explore nearby. The price was competitive with local hotels.

Front desk staff was extremely helpful, set me up with a golf course view room, apples were provided in the lobby. They were also very accommodating about the package I had shipped there in advance, held it for me and helped me get it when I arrived.
