I found staff was nice, the gentleman with a great mustache knew the history of the building.
I had large room, nicely done.
I look for good access - not far beyond Blacksburg, off the freeway, over the overpass bridge, right there.
I want clean rooms and linens - very nice; I want a nice comfortable bed - which I had.
Wi-Fi was very good, TV was excellent. Double pane windows meant the room was fairly quiet.
With this hotel, I was looking for an Older but Renovated Hotel with it's charm, and this had it - Very nice woodwork, great history, nice building. I had read the reviews, and there were mostly good with a couple not so. Like most old buildings, I did have to wait for the water to heat up in the morning, and there were some creaks, but overall I thought it was excellent renovated Hotel.
Another thing to consider was the price was very reasonable, and the other hotels I had on the trip at that price point were really not very good, while this one was.
