The room had an obvious disinfectant smell… ..the light in the shower/toilet section of the bathroom did not work… and there was no shower curtain… so when taking a shower— water was all over the floor…
Pool was green, room door lock hung up every time I tried to go in, ceiling was crumbling and falling, shower had lukewarm warm water, trash on floor upon check in, no phones or alarm clock in the room, elevator hadn’t been inspected and certified since October 2023.
First night, we were first told there was no room for us. Then, after arguing with the staff, we we’re knowingly placed in a room with one bed, a strong foul odor and a water leak in the bathroom with an inch of water standing in the bathroom floor. It wasn’t until the 3rd night that they moved us out of the foul-smelling room into the room we paid for, which was a room with 2 beds. After that, our stay was fine, but not great. I will not stay here again. In the future, I’ll be looking for either hotels not run by Wyndham, or an Air BnB.
If you're looking for peace, tranquility, and a breathtaking view, this is the perfect place to stay. The scenery alone is worth the visit and truly steals the show. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and equipped with thoughtful amenities like an ironing board and hair dryer. The layout offers a cozy living room area separate from the bed, creating a welcoming space to relax. The décor blends a charming vintage feel with modern touches, giving the room plenty of character. Overall, the stunning views are what make this place unforgettable.

The best thing about this property is the view! Amazing view! No frills, but they price it right. Right on interstate 81, which makes it easy to get to Virginia Tech for a game when you can't find anything closer to Blacksburg. The people at the desk are very friendly and ready to help!
I booked and paid for a room for Friday evening, May 15th at the Howard Johnson Hotel & Conference Center in Salem Va. . When we arrived at the hotel approx 5:15pm the manager/owner would not release the room to me. He was the rudest person I have ever dealt with. He said I needed to call you at hotels.com to get you to release the funds, he absolutely said this was our responsibility. I did call your number at least 5 times and could not get a live person even though we waited on hold for at least 15 minutes. We did offer to pay directly, but he wanted his "today" rate which was over which was 3 times higher than the reservation rate. At that point we knew that we were getting scammed, classic case of bait and switch.! Needless to say, since it was Va Tech Graduation weekend, no other hotels in the area were booked solid, we had no other choice to return home. I am missing my granddaughter's graduation today. How absolutely horrible!!! I will never use Hotels.com again, and I would like my $$ returned.
This hotel is for people who needs something for the night while traveling. Room smelled disgusting. Didn’t book for breakfast and thank god😂. Never staying here again and won’t recommend to anyone. Front desk personnel were nice. That was the only good thing about this hotel.
My room itself was satisfactory and reasonably clean, but the overall property felt very run down. Several basic amenities were missing — there were no ice machines anywhere on the property. Another guest even approached us asking if we knew where she could find one because she needed to refrigerate her insulin. Her room did not have a refrigerator, even though the motel advertised that all rooms included one. We ended up giving her our refrigerator so she could safely store her medication, which should never be necessary at a motel.
The free breakfast was also disappointing: only boxed cereal, no yogurt or eggs, and the waffles tasted like cardboard.
The staff were courteous, but I was very uncomfortable when an employee offered to rent me a room “off the books” for $220 cash. It did not feel legitimate, and it made me nervous.
The room had maintenance issues as well. The toilet handle had to be held down for several seconds just to flush.
Another concern was that the back side of the property appeared to have long‑term residents living there, which made the environment feel less like a motel and more like a residential complex. This added to my discomfort.
Overall, while the room itself was acceptable, the condition of the property, lack of basic amenities, questionable staff behavior, and general atmosphere made the stay uncomfortable. I would not choose to stay here again.
I would not recommend this place to anyone! This hotel needs a complete remodel!! The bathroom sink was clogged, door key did not work after the first day, the continental breakfast is a joke, and the room could have definitely been cleaner!
I did not stay there. The room was dirty (the sheets had stains). The TV did not have a plug and the dresser drawers would not open.

Close to highway, you can hear the cars running all night. Hard to fall asleep. Good price if you just want to spend a night as a stop. Breakfast has very limited choices. Not appealing to have appetite.
Took too long to check on considering we were the only ones at the desk. Reception desk person seemed more interested in the conversation he was having with someone on speaker.
Tv in the room didn’t work and when tried to call the front desk the phone didn’t work.
There was no coffee in the room though there website said there was, but worse is that there was no coffee in the lobby. Supposed to be a

The room was clean, but the actual place was dirty and run down. Shower was cold so if you need a shower don’t book here. The shower was also really gross.
Those roaches crawling down the walls in the refrigerator the windows were absolutely filthy the paint was peeling off the bathroom wall there was a hole where the door knob had knocked the hole in the wall in the bathroom and the vents needed to be cleaned.
