6/10 Good

Quiet and accessible
Kevin, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great value! Traditional road-side motel - no frills, but clean and a nice bed to sleep in. Really easy check-in/check-out with not issues!
Charley, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Aged property and non-smoking room smells like smoke, but there is a fridge with freezer, microwave and a nice Mexican restaurant a mile down the road. Inexpensive compared with near by options, and close to trailhead.
Rachel, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Stay away

Looked nothing like the pictures in the the actual room, name different on the sign
Sean, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

They posted Hotel OYO but it motel name Blue Jay. It’s terrible ad
Viet, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

room was terrible and I'm not a picky person
john, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

This was a scary site when we pulled up and the sign at the road does not even read OYO Hotel, it reads Blue Jay Motel. I would pass on staying here again, we were supposed to stay 2 nights and only stayed 1 and I would not even use the shower, I took my shower somewhere else and not at this scary place.
Erica, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

No heat, no new soap only a used soap bar, no tissue, broken sink, needs a total renovation
James, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very much enjoyed our stay here. After reading previous reviews we almost canceled and went elsewhere. I'm glad we didn't do that. It was quiet (other than traffic which is not something that they can control) and there were no issues at all. I would stay there again.
3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Never again

Think i rather sleep in my car then there again
Michael, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

I don’t usually give reviews and certainly not bad ones but seems this property had its heyday in the 1950s and hasn’t been updated since. I should have read the prior reviews as I mistakenly assumed the OYO connection helped but there was no sign, literally, of OYO and the pictures online are very misleading. This property is what it is - a rundown roadside motel - and you get what you pay for.
Valerie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It doesn’t look like the pictures at all. But the owner was the best!! And it still was super clean!
Shawna, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Good for a single night. The soap was so old that it didn't work until you left it in water for awhile.

4/10 Fair

The place needs to be renovated. Bathroom had broken tile and the caulking was a mess. The outside looks like it has been abandoned. I would say it is about. 20 min drive to Va Tech and easy to get into and out. If you are staying one night then it’s doable.
melissa, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Sub standard no service

This place is a dump, it listed check in as 4pm-Midnight, we got there at 11pm and no one was at the lobby. Two cats roamed the dirty lobby room, the hotel sign said Blue Jay Hotel, not listed on the info. I do not recommend this place, we are hoping to get a refund for no service.
Jennifer, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Towels were dingy and stained, room smelled like mold, carpeting was soiled
James, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

I arrived and there was NO RESERVATION FROM EXPEDIA. I had to scramble and find another hotel in the area during a sold out Virginia Tech Parents weekend trip. I had to pay $300 a night at two different hotels to accomodate me and my son. Then Expedia says that I am not going to get a refund. This was a horrific experience. Not only do I deserve a FULL REFUND (cannot believe you said I am not getting one) but you should ALSO reimburse me for the two hotels I had to find LAST MINUTE in the area.
Melanie, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

The property and rooms were very old and outdated. The bathroom door had to be slammed to shut and yanked very hard to open. Nobody was ever at the office window. Not once was there ANY housekeeping and I had to borrow their vacuum to vacuum my own room. I was there for 4 nights of yuck.
Dianna, 4-night trip

4/10 Fair

Shabby and uninviting. No water or coffee
Richard, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The place was overbooked. No notification that it was. Had notified that we would be late arriving. Had to find a new place at 11.30 pm
gayle, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Poor outside signage.....had previous motel signage in front of property. Rather worn furniture around entrance to property. Bed was comfortable and afforded us a good night's sleep. Room was clean; TV worked well. All outlets on room operated off entrance switch light switch. Did not notice until next morning as my phone did not charge. Would stay again.
John, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Run down facility. TV didn’t work. Bathroom in bad condition.
Kenneth, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Need a lot of work , facelift !!

The room is nothing as it showed on the website, I never check the reviews but after this experience believe me I WILL !! There were cracks in the walls, the bathroom was disgusting, no many amenities, try to contact the attendant we never find it …..???
Beatriz, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Customer service was an absolute terrible experience the staff at first said theybdo not rent to anyone local due to an bad experience from a previous tenant which i understand but why foes that apply to new coming customers. Either way just fron the poor customer service and rudeness i will not return to this establishment
Dexter, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

no lights in the room worked. burn holes in the bedspread. black hairs all over the sink and faucet. no hot water ever.
