Comfort Inn Blacksburg University Area
Hotel was conveniently located to the Virginia Tech campus. Staff were friendly. It the internet did not work very well at all - which was problematic. Room was ok but the hotel jacked up prices due to graduation and we paid over $500 per night for a >3 star experience. Breakfast was ok.

Tru By Hilton Christiansburg
Room was clean, bright, well appointed. Bed was nice and firm. Lavazza coffee was a morning welcome for the trip home. Problem was the phantom flushing toilet that “flushed” every 15 minutes. This was quite unsettling/disruptive.
