Arrived and name on motel was Bluejay, not what was advertised. Would not suggest others to stay. Towels felt like they were hung dry. If I wasn't so exhausted would not have stayed.
1-night trip

6/10

Quiet and accessible
4-night trip

10/10

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!
1-night trip

10/10

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.

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

2/10

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.

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

10/10

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.

Think i rather sleep in my car then there again

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

6/10

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

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.

4/10

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.

2/10

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.

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

4/10

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.
4-night trip

4/10

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

2/10

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.
2-night trip

8/10

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.
1-night trip

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

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
