Blew my mind
I stumbled upon this hotel by accident while on a road trip with my friends. Based on the price, I didn’t expect much, but this was a five star experience. The rooftop restaurant was incredible. I will definitely stay here again.

Nice gem in Radford
Really nice stay and was quiet, which is always a plus in a college town. Savannah at front desk was super friendly and helpful! Rooms were spacious, clean and modern. I really enjoyed the large floor to ceiling window. Check in/out was easy and quick. Overall, no complaints and will stay again
Few odd things that stood out during my stay:
* the WiFi situation is strange as you have to pay if you use too many devices with the hotels internet
* The water temperature and pressure wasn’t consistent which was a bit annoying
With that being said, I wouldn’t let it deter you from staying

I loved everything! The shower was excellent, the towels even bigger and better. It was quiet and once I figured out how to adjust the AC
And TV/TBS, it was great! The restaurant was delicious but more salty than I like (shephards pie). The drink (old fashioned) was fabulous and I loved the added touch of different ice cubes
for different drinks. My friend had the lemonade and the choice of ice, so minor but a surprising major plus for aesthetics! If not for Hotels.com I would never known it existed!

Beautiful Hotel
Hotel was beautiful inside and out. I loved all the little details from the motion activated lights under the bed to the local art work. The beds were comfortable and the room was very clean. The on-site restaurant was quite convenient and had an amazing view. The staff was friendly.

Exceeded expectations
We were so surprised by this lovely hotel. Our accommodations were everything that we needed for our overnight stay. The staff were very friendly, the entire hotel was immaculate, and our room was clean and quiet. We also had breakfast the next morning downstairs and it was delicious.

Nice hotel!
Really nice hotel in the New River Valley - I joined their parents club which is offered if you have a kid attending either Radford or VA Tech. The food is delicious and it's actually reasonably close to Blacksburg.

Comfortable hotel within easy drive from I81 and local routes. Spacious room and bathroom with all of the necessities. We didn't use the hotel restaurant but there were plenty of options nearby.
