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.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property and rooms were very old and outdated.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.

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.

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.

This hotel looks NOTHING like the picture And is named the blue jay hotel NOT oyo … i thought we were in the wrong place!!! had the trip scheduled 2 weeks in advance when I show up they leave us in the cold saying they have no rooms available. We spent 20 mins looking for a new hotel the next group of people checking in checked in smoothly. The receptionist comes back and tells us all of a sudden a room is available then when we get it it looks terrible! What’s worse is we booked for 3 days on day 2 someone is banging on the door demanding us to check out. The worse experience ever!
