What guests think

At Comfort Inn Blacksburg University Area, travellers frequently praise the friendly, accommodating staff, generally clean rooms, and a convenient location for Virginia Tech visits, along with pet friendly policies that make stays easy for guests with animals.

However, many note the property is older and dated, with recurring reports of musty odors, dampness or mildew, loud or inconsistent HVAC, and occasional maintenance problems such as elevator outages or broken fixtures. Breakfast generally earns strong praise for hot items and variety, though a few guests found items ran out or service closed early on some mornings. Overall, expect a solid value stay near campus if you can accept an older property.

The beds are comfortable and the rooms are quiet. The halls and decorating are dated and a bit dimly lit; the ice machine wasn’t working nor the computer in the “business” section, but the location is very good and the breakfast is good! And the rates were fair! This is my second stay here and I would stay again.

Stayed here while on a road trip across the US and it was great! They had water and lemon water available at the front cookies which was a nice touch! The rooms were clean the breakfast was really good especially considering the price. If I'm ever in the area again I will definitely stop here again!

Wonderful hotel. Great staff and very clean comfortable place to stay. A lot of great amenities including a gym, water and lemonade on top, and cookies when you first check in. The staff were very friendly and receptive. The breakfast was good and the hotel room was everything we needed. They even included makeup remover wipes which I thought was very thoughtful. Very nice stay I would highly recommend.

Choose this property since it was close to VA Tech. The first room smelled of mildew and we noticed black stains on ceiling. Second room had mold stains on walls, furniture was old and not well maintained, carpet needed a refresh, and my family regretted the stay (even though we were there for only 7 hours).

Nice staff and convenient location but disappointed in the room cleanliness. There was dog kibble on the carpet from the previous person in the room. I went to the front desk and asked them to clean while we were out. We were gone for over six hours and when we came back, the kibble was still there.

Overall, this was a good hotel. The pricing and breakfast included made it a good deal. It is a little older and dated in some ways. They were unable to supply extra pillows when we asked for some. The A/C units are under the windows inthe rroms and a bit loud.

We were in town visiting our daughter in college. The hotel is conveniently located and a decent place to stay. We just had a few issues: the drain in our bathroom sink was broken so the water just filled up every time we used it. It would drain back down overnight. That would leave a filthy mess. The TV is strange. To put any channel on you have to use a -1. So if you want to watch channel 7, it's 7-1 on the remote. Never heard of that before and it took a call to the desk and a visit to get it going for us. Also, the bedside lamps do NOT have USB chargers so make sure you bring a charging block for your phones. The other outlets don't hold the blocks tight, however, and we found ours would fall out. Overall a decent, clean, comfortable place to stay but it definitely needs some updating. Oh! Dogs stay free so that's a major plus!

The good: close to VT, friendly staff, clean room. The bad: the air conditioner didn’t work at all, there was a street light outside that lit up the room at night even with the curtain closed, the bed and pillows were not very comfortable. Its was the worst nights sleep we’ve had in a long time.

The room was great - clean, had mini fridge & microwave. Front desk gal was super friendly. Loved big waters in lobby. But we were disappointed w daily cleaning - didn’t make beds, didn’t take dirty towels, didn’t take all trash - says they were “short staffed”. Also ran out of a lot of breakfast food in mornings without replenishing (eggs, sausage, biscuits, etc).
