Courtyard Blacksburg

I stayed at this hotel a few months ago and I just thought it was so so… It appears that it’s had a much needed facelift! Really enjoying the new carpets, wall paper and updates styles. I have stayed at a lot of places and many Marriotts. I finally feel like this hotel is now back to the level I would expect from a Marriott property.
It’s amazing what a little updating will do to having a restful night and feeling comfortable.

My husband and I had a mini «staycation» here last night as an anniversary treat. We were both very impressed at the cleanliness, the hospitality, and the hotel itself. The room was spotless. Clean linens with not even the tiniest stain, no dust, no grime. The bathroom was just as clean. The bed was extremely comfortable, with plenty of fluffy pillows. Everything was properly stocked — we had plenty of towels, plenty of the little soaps and shampoos, etc. I fell totally in love with the jacuzzi! The jets and water temperature were perfect.
The employees were very courteous, very friendly, and willing to help on all fronts. The hotel itself is very pretty. Wide, spacious lobby with cozy sofas. A beautiful outside patio to lounge in. The pool area is well maintained and enjoyable.
All in all, I really like this spot and think we’ll definitely return for any in town getaways we may indulge in!

I stayed here in October 2013 for a drug and alcohol training per part of my job. This was, in my option, a really nice hotel. My room was large, comfy bed, nice bathroom with plenty of room, and a nice desk area where I could do some work at night. I wish my husband and I had a reason to come to Blacksburg, we would definitely stay here.

Best Courtyard I’ve ever had the pleasure of staying at. Wonderful staff, too. In addition, they’ve just revamped the lobby area. In the morning it’s a Starbucks café that serves breakfast and at night, a lovely lounge where you can get a refreshing cocktail! There is a wonderful «Courtyard» in the back that is a great place to read and relax and the pool area is super for the kids both large and small!

Obsessed with this hotel I was not!
In my older (20 somethin’) age, I’ve become a bit of a hotel snob. I’ve shacked up in some pretty dope places throughout my travels. From resorts in Orlando to boutique hotels in San Francisco, I’ve pretty much been there, done that. I used to not be too particular about where I stayed. You know what I’m talkin’ about. We’ve all been in the situation where about 8 friends squeeze into one rinky dink hotel room during a trip just to save some coins!
But, with all that said, by «snob» I mean I just want something neat, clean, spacious, and with a couple extra amenities like decent cable and a good internet connection! A view, outdoor pool, exercise room, and bar get you extra credit points. The Courtyard did have pretty decent cable, pool, exercise room, super comfy beds and pillows, and a very spacious room.
On the other hand, the internet was almost unusable (is that a word?). I got nothin’, people! Luckily I didn’t spend too much time in the room, but come one. Decent internet is pretty much a necessity these days. The Courtyard needs to step their game up in this area. But what really annoyed me was the fact that I could hear evvvvverything. People walking in the hallway. People talking in their room. People walking above me. Sometimes you just wanna be in peace without having to hear your neighbors, that’s all!
I’ll definitely stay here again because let’s be honest… there aren’t very many options in the Burg. But, when it comes to visiting my alma mater, I spend more time downtown and on campus anyway, so I’ll cut them some slack!

Since they are going through a major lobby renovation it is not a great time to review. However, I will be fair.
Just last week the property began a renovation to a bistro concept lobby. These are really great and will be a huge bonus to the hotel when complete in late Spring. The entrance has been moved to the side of the building until construction is complete. No other amenities are affected with this, only lobby.
The property around the exterior excellent. Other than a small trash can by the door that was full and appears to had got knocked over. The sand used for putting on cigarettes was on the concrete.
Check-​in was flawless and info given out on breakfast at 6 AM in the conference room with construction. The room was in great shape and looked like it had a recent renovation. It seemed to be and over sized double, there was lots of room. Enough for a full size chair. Also nice deep drawers and a wide closet.
The breakfast ended up being problematic. The staff was never ready at 6 AM and left me waiting each morning, one time until almost 6:20 AM. With a deadline needed to get out 20 min was huge. Most food was above to average. The eggs on my last day were ice cold. Waffle batter was not filled up all the way from the beginning and had to tip, same with syrup that started out low. The woman who assisted each day did not seem to want to be there.
Another issue came up too, this was around key cards. Mine was deactivated twice. I was told this happens all of the time like it was something typical. Well I can tell you it’s not typical and was a pain.
Once they have construction completed only things smooth out. But at this point a solid three is appropriate and I would come back.

Clean and comfortable. Free breakfast is ok. Location central to Main Street and VT.

I’m a Courtyard connoisseur at this point, staying at them all over the place now. This one isn’t recently renovated, but its nice, big and clean.
The beds seemed comfier than the normal Courtyard beds, but everything else décor-​wise seemed to be standard Courtyard décor.
I LOVED that the remote to my TV actually worked, and I could easily find the TV guide so I could figure out what the local channels were. The only downside to these custom TV remotes is that I can never figure out how to set a sleep timer. I’m honestly not sure how the TV turned off…
The staff was very nice when I checked in and out.
The only downside to this hotel is that there really isn’t anything very close-​by, but I’d stay here again.

Extremely accommodating staff and great hotel. Close location to the stadium which made it an easy commute to the game. Rooms were very spacious and clean with good amenities; very good value. The GM, Tom, could not have been more helpful and nice. Not to mention they served an amazing continental breakfast that was more like a grand buffet for only $ 5 per person. Highly recommended and will definitely stay there again!

We came here after leaving the Fairfield Inn at 10 pm the night earlier (see my other review for the Fairfield Inn Christiansburg for more on that). Checkin was easy and the lady at the front desk was funny and amiable, so props there.
The room was very nice, with molding around the ceiling, and comfortable beds. The bathroom was spotless and included a very nice shower.
The lobby was not redone, however, it was very big and they did offer breakfast each morning for a very reasonable price. There’s not much else to say as my stay lasted a total of about 11 hours. I’d definitely stay again, though!

I totally lucked out, with the spring football game going on and all the crazy hillbilly fans it attracted, the Fairfield was oversold and I was re-​accommodated here.
This was a fantastic newer hotel.
Spacious welcoming lobby, friendly staff, clean room. They didn’t have my preferred room type, and I generally hate handicapped rooms, but this one was a welcome change. Not the 80s-​era hospital feel of most rooms this type.
The bed was comfy, the pillows were good. The TV had tons of HD channel selection with some of the more eclectic cable channels. Huge two thumbs up to that. WiFi was free, but in my room the signal waned in and out.
Really enjoyed the shower experience. Spacious tub, and plenty of bathroom counter space.
Bring a car as there’s not much in the way of food within walking distance.

Maybe I’m suffering from the «Contrast Effect» and thinking this place is better than it actually is because I just stayed in a crumby Marriot Courtyard, but this one seems pretty decent.
It was remodeled only a few years ago, so it has pretty decent furniture, decorations, and lighting. The counter tops look like they are real granite.
The colors are a little off in terms of decorations. The cabinets are cherry, the walls are yellow, the floor is blue and gold, and the linens are white and blue. It doesn’t seem like everything «goes.»
They have a full breakfast buffet in the mornings for $ 8 or so, which is pretty reasonable.

I wanted to move in!
Hadn’t stayed in a Courtyard for awhile but was thoroughly impressed — fresh cookies at check-​in, a shower and water pressure that will make you melt, über-​comfy bed, pillows and linens and a treadmill with a TV screen. Large clean rooms and huge lobby with areas for checking email, chatting and breakfast.
The only downfall was the $ 7.95 continental breakfast… but hey you could always go with the bonus plan and get eggs prepared «your way».

Sorry but my room smells. It is disgusting! There is not much room to move around in.

As usual a totally dependable Marriott Courtyard. We had the overflow from the wedding stay here and they treated my guests very well. The kids enjoyed the pool, the location was near the other events of the weekend. The rooms were clean and comfortable.
A bit more expensive than other places in town but for a 3 to 5 day stay you want a place you can relax in with no issues.
Breakfast was excellent each morning and you could hang out in the lobby with the family members and chat without bothering others.
