Main Street Inn Blacksburg

There are both pros and cons for this property. It has potential, but needs investment. First the cons, no remote for 1 of the 2 tv's. The missing remote was for the tv in my bedroom which was the one most needed. The other remote had batteries that were corroded. I obtained new batteries at front desk and cleaned out the remote so it would work at no charge. I had to change channels by getting out of bed and pressing the buttons on back of tv. This could easily be fixed by going to Walmart and obtaining a Universal Remote for $11. The rooms are dated and need update. They also smelled damp and musty. No breakfast included, nor do they have space to have one. Pros, front desk was accommodating and friendly. Ample parking was available, plus they had a safe and iron in the room. Beds were very comfortable as well as pillows. Air conditioner was much more quite than most hotels. They will all make some sound since in room. Theirs was very tolerable. Location was downtown and part of VT campus. Near many restaurants and bars within walking distance.

The only ice maker for the hotel was out of service. There were No accommodations made for the outage. Only 1 out of 2 TVs worked and that was with the switches on the back of the TV, the only one remote did not work. On the weekend, there are no assistance from the front desk or a manager available. What ever is wrong with your room, you get what you get! Very disappointed.

Charming hotel at the heart of Blacksburg within very short walk of VT. Great place to stay for a quick weekend. Comfortable bed, very clean!

The suite is dark and dingy looking. The bedroom is very small. There is no sound proofing. There was no house keeping during my 3 night/4 day stay. No maintenance available to fix burnt out light bulbs. A coffee machine only for breakfast. Two of the receptionists were friendly but they are at the front entrance. Not worth the price.

Strange and disappointing experience. Great location as always but the property has gone downhill. Not very well maintained. When we checked in we were told we could not park on property so that they could save spaces for staff. They said we had to park across the street. They paid for this but it seemed backward. Shouldn’t staff park across the street? When we acted surprised we were told that it was a college town and it was football season. It’s March and it was not an event weekend of any kind. Then the TVs in our room were extremely old and small. We had one remote for two TVs and neither TV was working. The front desk person came up and showed us how to retune the channels. It was like being in the 1980s again. Seriously I had a better tube TV than these. We got one TV working. Horrible picture. Not what one would expect in this day and age of super cheap smart TVs. Although we do love the location and have fond memories of this Inn we definitely won’t stay here again.

Definitely gone down hill since our last stay. Similar to other reviews there are issues with the TV, cleanliness, not enough light in the room because our window looked into a wall- need to add a lamp. No soap in the shower.... staff seemed disinterested...but location location location is still on point.
