The Inn at Virginia Tech and Skelton Conference Center
Beautiful grounds, well kept hotel. Rooms were clean, beds comfortable. Duvet covers made it a little bit hot, but in the winter, I’m sure that would be appreciated.

Comfort Inn Blacksburg University Area
Overall, the service from Checkin to Breakfast was good. The window curtains do not close and the spotlights for the trees were very bright. I would suggest asking for rooms facing the back of the property. Breakfast had hot options. Eggs, biscuits and gravy and freshly made waffles.
