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.

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.

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.

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.

The owner was pleasant. The property however, was HORRIBLE! If I could give zero stars I would. The bed was hard, the shower was a linens closet in the bathroom with tile from floor to ceiling and a broken shower head. Needless to say we did not use the shower. The property is VERY dated. It doesn’t look like it’s ever been update or maintained. The tile behind the bathroom door was cracked, pieces missing and just horribly dirty. The bathroom floor was sticky. The walls are blue and there are patches done to the wall (which are big spots of white). I was extremely surprised that OYO had their name on the motel (it’s NOT a hotel). The sign out from is the Blue Jay Inn. Another example of lack of cleanliness, maintenance at a huge price.

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.

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.
