The Inn At Virginia Tech and Skelton Conference Center

Nice hotel. I did expect better. Restaurant food was ok. Bar is rather small but adequate. Floors and hallways seem worn. But rooms were pretty updated and clean.
I guess I would give rooms themselves 4 stars but the hallways /​dining 3 stars.
Don’t expect a high end hotel. But do expect a very convenient location. Especially to the visitor center.

My husband and I spent the night here after photographing a wedding. The front desk staff was very friendly and accommodated an early check in. Because we photographed the wedding we got a peak at the bridal suite, the holding rooms, the reception space, the courtyard, and a regular room and I was impressed by everything.
After a loooong day on my feet I was very pleased to find that the bed was super comfy.
I would certainly recommend a stay here if you are in Blacksburg.

Staff friendly, grounds and exterior well maintained. They have a small, well staffed bar which has a vast selection. Also they have Preston’s restaurant which is well reviewed, although we only gave it two stars. The room was a nice size at a fair price, but the sheets and pillow cases were not soft at all, scratchy even. The bathroom tub tile had mold buildup as did the slip mat in the shower. We stayed here prior and will again due to convenience because of our son going to Virginia Tech, although the Holiday inn would be our first choice. Free wi-​fi.

Our organization held our annual formal dinner at the Virginia Tech Inn for what must have been the dozenth time this year, and the team there continues to impress us with their professional behavior, their excellent food and beverages, and their commitment to ensuring all of our attendees have a great time.
Our event has grown to a size that can only be accommodated by the Inn, and we are very fortunate that they provide such a great opportunity for us all to get together year after year.

Convenient location right on the campus of Virginia Tech. Really enjoyed my stay here. Staff is very friendly and accommodaring. Had a king room which was spacious and clean. The bed was so comfortable, I had a hard time getting myself out of it each morning. Preston ’ s restaurant on site has the best dining in Blacksburg, and the bar was a great spot to enjoy the craft beer on tap and catch the March Madness Finals at night. Overall great experience and I will be back.

Visited the area for a conference and even though the hotel wasn’t the best the conference center was hands down amazing. Rotating snacks during sessions, well prepared lunches… This place does it right! The rooms are reasonable and roomy with nice bathrooms, but nothing out of the ordinary. The service by the staff brings this pace to 4 stars… for you Hokies looking to book at graduation, word is out be prepared to do it when the open for registration… Also be ready for some steep rates!

Very nice place to stay. Excellent service at front desk. Concierge will arrange shuttle to town if you need it. Only drawback– you won’t really need to be here if you aren’t doing business in some way with Virginia Tech. Not much in town to see or do if you aren’t included in whatever business your significant other is doing on campus.

I had a lovely experience here!
Making a reservation was very easy and getting my room took under 5 minutes. Checking out was even quicker.
Everyone working here was always more than willing to help out. I always got great service. They also offer rides to various places on campus which makes it easy to get around.
My room was very clean and luxurious. the entire place is lovely!
I was very happy with my stay back!
Highly recommended!

We were pleasantly surprised with this hotel. It really deserved four and a half stars. The hotel staff (customer service, shuttle driver, and hospitality) were very friendly and helpful. It was clear that customer satisfaction was their number one concern.
Pros: Cost (we booked through Hotwire, only paying $ 66), Customer Service, and a wonderful shuttle driver
Cons: Bathroom tub/​tile needed a good scrubbing, shower curtain needs a quick wash
We would definitely stay here again!

Very disappointing. We were looking forward to staying at The Inn during our visit to VT. The lobby area and exterior are very nice, but the rooms are mundane and dated, Wi-​Fi is basically unusable, and the AC barely works. Not at all what we expected, especially given the high price. Virginia Tech, my Alma Mater, should be ashamed to put their good name on this hotel.

Our second stay on campus and the staff couldn’t be better. Everyone was friendly and helpful from housekeeping to shuttle driver. This is the only place we stay in Blacksburg

The hotel is conveniently located and very clean. The rooms are fine, nothing special but very clean. The hotel staff was excellent. I tried to eat in their dining room but as a solo guest they wouldn’t seat me in there as they did not want to give up any of their tables. The wifi was very slow and seemed to be not working for part of my stay which is surprising considering the location to a fine University. Overall I would stay here again for the room itself but plan on dining elsewhere if you do.

Got a better price and had better service this time. It made it worthwhile.

Nice clean hotel
I am not quite sure of the amenities (if any are offered) because I was here on a business venture BUT I do know that they have free WiFi and that they have a shuttle service into the town

They haven’t really renovated, but the hotel is better managed and better maintained since I last visited. The staff this time were excellent by providing information, opening doors, changing lightbulbs in the hallways, etc.
Even if you are traveling alone, I recommend booking a double room (same price). You get a smaller bed, but you get a larger room with no awkward «connecting door.»
Apparently the hotel restaurant, Preston’s, is great, but it wasn’t open for dinner on Sunday. :-(

This was a nice place to stay while visiting the Virginia Tech campus. The room itself was your basic hotel room, but it was clean and in a good location. The hotel wireless was EXTREMELY slow, which was a little annoying, but the staff were all very friendly. We didn’t try the restaurant so can’t comment on that, but it was nice to walk to everything on campus from the hotel.
We ended up checking out a day earlier than planned since the freshman orientation was over by noon rather than the 5:00pm that was advertised, and they still charged us for the third night since they have a 24 hour cancellation policy. That was a bit of a drag.

No complaints here. Staff is friendly, rooms are nice. Building is beautiful.

There are 3 hotels within walking distance of the Tech campus. I haven’t stayed at the new hotel on Main, but this is way better than the Holiday Inn across the street.
I usually don’t spend much time in a hotel room, but these are clean and the shower and TV are adequate.
There is a museum downstairs that I have been in twice. I have no idea if and when it is open to the public, but I have found the door unlocked a few times.
It’s normally pretty quiet, but every now and then a wedding party migrates down the halls, but hotel security usually hurrys them along if they are making too much noise.

I have stayed here about half a dozen times as it is the most convenient hotel to VT. I have had pretty good experiences but for the money you expect simple things like flat screen tvs especially since the hotel is relatively new. The rooms are just fine no real frills but typically the people at the front desk are very nice which help offset the bland interiors.
We were leaving Friday morning and were saying good bye to one of our freinds Thursday night and the night person decided to come out and yell at us for being too loud. I think he handled the situation very poorly and i was surprised by his brazen attitude when all we were doing was saying goodbye to a freind. His lack of tact has made me think about not staying here again there are nicer hotels in the area for sure.

Excellent hotel and we hosted a brunch here after my daughters wedding and they were organized, professional, made good recommendations and the food was good (better than the average hotel fare at a meeting or event).
It is fun talking to the employees many of whom are either going to school for a service industry degree or recently graduated from VT.
It is one of the most expensive places in town but not more than what you would pay back in DC or Atlanta.
