It’s fine. The beds are rock hard. Didn’t sleep at all and woke up sore. They gave me a “mattress pad” but it was just a thick sheet. Didn’t help. It’s firmer than a firm mattress

This is a very nice place to stay. I have stayed in other Holiday Inn Express motels and so far this one is my favorite. The set up of the room was fantastic, the staff was super friendly and the food was outstanding. Thank you for making our stay so comforting! Driving home in the ice and snow, this is just what we needed for a break!

Couldn't Have Been Happier!!

I was staying in the Blacksburg area for a funeral. Very conveniently located to where we needed to travel. Also, within minutes of Lane Stadium, VTU campus and area restaurants. Bhani who was working the front desk when we arrived was extremely friendly and helpful. The lobby, hotel and rooms were very clean! The complimentary breakfast was very as well. Very, very happy to have chosen this hotel.

There was a dirty wash cloth in the shower upon arrival, only 2 tissues left in the tissue box, not enough toilet paper left in the bathroom (no unused rolls left) and overall felt the hotel has gone downhill from other visits
