The Inn at Virginia Tech and Skelton Conference Center
Great Location... right by Virginia Tech. We were in the handicap room and it very spacious. Rooms were very clean. They are doing renovations but it was not an issue. Check in and out was very easy. Got it at a great rate since it was not a busy weekend.
