Residence Inn Blacksburg-University
Blacksburg|1.86km from Blacksburg Municipal Park
Visited property in April for a reunion at Virginia Tech. Hotel is across the street from the campus alumni center. It’s within walking distance for numerous shops and restaurants. I had two rooms at the property: one for two nights and a second room for one night. The hotel associates worked to get the rooms adjacent for the second night. I really appreciated that effort. Parking is ample and property is clean (including pool area!). The small market area is helpful for last minute food and beverages. The only negative I experienced was the breakfast. The majority of the foods were not tasty or fresh. The breakfast attendant was working very hard (even had her daughter helping for an early weekend hour) so I cannot fault the effort or her attitude (very friendly). It just appears that the default for breakfast at the property is pre-made or pre-packaged goods instead of the normal Residence Inn breakfast you’d find (most RIs have scrambled or boiled eggs, waffle maker, mixed fruit, yogurts, breakfast meats, fresh pastries/bagels/toast, oatmeal, juices, milk, coffee, and maybe a speciality item or two). Despite the breakfast, I would stay here again for any needs at Virginia Tech or in the community. And if staying for a football or basketball game, it’ll be about a 20 minute walk to the stadium or basketball arena (walk straight across the street and keep walking up the hill til you reach the stadium).
Excellent
