2/10 Terrible

Did not stay Left after one hour. Was filthy
Richard, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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 Excellent

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 Terrible

Stay away

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

10/10 Excellent

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 Poor

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

2/10 Terrible

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 Poor

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

4/10 Poor

Never again

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

6/10 Okay

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

2/10 Terrible

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

2/10 Terrible

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

4/10 Poor

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 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

2/10 Terrible

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

4/10 Poor

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 Poor

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

2/10 Terrible

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 Terrible

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

2/10 Terrible

no lights in the room worked. burn holes in the bedspread. black hairs all over the sink and faucet. no hot water ever.
charlotte, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

0 hot water. Asked to check in at 1pm, told $10 extra per hour. Asked for a 2nd night at same rate, told "because it is 11am price will be different." Young lady and young man polite. Older man very unfriendly.
Sabrina, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

No after-hours check in

I was not able to check in at all. I arrived about 1:00 am after a football game at Va Tech. There was no one at the front desk. I rang the bell but no one came. I was not able to get into a room. Terrible check in system.
Michael, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

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

4/10 Poor

It was not very clean got call asking if I left a gun under the bed a what! Yes a gun all rms non smoking non refundable deposit for room that was not as described only a tiny shower no baths tub rooms went to grab breakfast and the manager had been in my room while I was gone I am not happy at all about my stay I want a refund
Katrina, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

The OYO label wasn't anywhere on the property, instead it said "Blue Jay Motel". Only man working was at a different property next door so I waited about 15 minutes to speak to someone. It was run down and dingy, I was scared to stay there alone as a young female. Not to mention, it is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to get someone on the phone.
Zoe, 1-night trip
