Detailed Reviews
This was our first stay at a Hyatt Place and we were blown away! EVERYTHING was perfect! Very comfortable bed and sofa bed, quality sheets and comforters, spotless, very modern decor, fixtures and fittings, breakfast was excellent served with real plates and cups. No noise was heard from any other rooms. The only small gripe was that the sliding door to the shower was only attached at the top so would bang back and forth on opening or closing.
We DEFINATELY be back every time we visit our Hokie!

Perfect location for touring VT with my son. It’s very conveniently located across the street from campus with a Kroger and Starbucks within walking distance if you prefer to get your steps in rather than drive. Hotel is super clean and the rooms were spacious and comfortable, not to mention it was a great value! We also didn’t need to drive to dinner because there were so many great restaurants just steps away from the hotel.
My only negative remark would be the breakfast closing promptly at 9am and I mean promptly. I had misunderstood arriving so late the night before and thought I remembered the breakfast lasting until 9:30. We arrived to the breakfast area at 8:57 and began getting our items to make our way to our table. Within minutes, all of the items were being loaded up and removed. When I glanced at my phone it was 9am and everything was removed by 9:03. The gentleman saw that we had just arrived to eat and seemed irritated that he was unable to wipe our table down and place the chairs on top of it. So if you intend to eat the free breakfast definitely get down early and give yourselves longer than 3 minutes.
Other than that one hiccup, I highly recommend Hyatt Place.

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveler reviews.
Two seniors stayed here for 4 nights in early June in a king room with a sofa bed/sitting area and were mostly satisfied. We would rate this hotel a 4.5 if we could due to a couple of issues. The housekeeping service was really hit or miss over the 4 nights we stayed here. They took all of the hand towels and washcloths one day and didn't replace them. No bath towels another day. We almost ran out of toilet paper and no service at all on our last full day here. Also only 2 luggage carts for a 6 story hotel. That said, the lighting was great and the room was very clean. Nice hot breakfast with the absolute same components each day of eggs, bacon, potatoes, waffles or very "tough" french toast or pancakes on Sunday and sausage, bread/bagels/muffins, cereal, fresh fruit, yogurt, etc. Room furnishings were in excellent condition. Very friendly and helpful staff. Wi-Fi was fine with no dropouts except you had to log in every day. Would stay here again as it is directly off campus. Note that the hotel is located in a very congested area that would be hard to navigate if the university was in session, but it is located close to restaurants, grocery and gas.

Warm Regards, Mathew Hoffman General Manager

The hotel fell far short of basic expectations. Staff were unhelpful, and shockingly, room cleaning and bed-making weren't provided daily. These standard services were only available upon request, a fact not communicated at check-in.After a long day of work and travel, returning to an unmade bed is particularly frustrating. It's disheartening to face a messy room when all you want is to relax. This lack of basic housekeeping shows a disregard for guest comfort and hygiene. The absence of fresh linens and a tidy space significantly diminishes the overall experience, making it feel more like a low-budget hostel than a proper hotel.

This was one of the Worst experiences, the bed look like someone had slept in the bed, my husband and I slept on the sofa sitting up with our legs on the ottoman. The room had a smell which was unusual. We had to buy blankets at the Walmart about 15mins away. When coming in we were asked for our credit card when the hotel was paid in full a month prior to our stay and I still have a hold on my account for this charge of $15 which no additional fees were supposed to be applied due to how I reserved our room. The staff was not professional at all and they looked like they just rolled out of bed. We were never greeted in I should say a cheerful way to even make us feel comfortable not a good feel when you travel 7hrs to a Hotel and what’s crazy is their ratings is what caused me to pick this location when the reviews were not accurate It’s Horrible Here!!! They will Never get my money again. It was absolutely Nothing to what we ever stayed in Don’t Waste Your Money Here!! Find another place if you can, I wish I had pictures but I ran out of there as fast as I could and I definitely will be seeing if we could at least get back out money or some of it.

For years traveling down the coast we'd stop overnight at a Comfort Inn or similar $99 stay. The Hyatt Place in Blacksburg next to the VT campus was a breath of fresh air. Clean, modern, contemporary bath room with actual honest to goodness towels and an extremely comfortable bed. The included breakfast was far superior to the standard fare and it even had a bar with snacks. The reason I didn't rate five stars was that the front desk staff while very young and friendly weren't particularly
Helpful in determining if the rate we received was the best available. A simple request that they couldn't answer. Also, the room was very nice but could have used a few more essentials . For a price that was only marginally higher than than the usual options off of the highway the Hyatt Place cannot be beat and it's located in the lovely college town of Blacksburg . Highly recommend

We were here for a family wedding (I believe there was at least one other group there for another wedding) and the staff was incredibly attentive, accommodating, and personable for such a hectic weekend! We have stayed at the Hyatt Place before for VT football games and graduation and we absolutely knew we wanted to use the hotel for a wedding room block and they did not disappoint. I know everybody who came for the wedding were so satisfied with their stay. Additionally, Hyatt Place breakfasts aren’t usually something to write about but there was something special about the Blacksburg location. Breakfast truly was amazing every morning. The breakfast attendants were so accommodating and remembered us everyday. Thanks for a great stay and helping to make our wonderful weekend so special!

I've been staying here multiple times per year since the hotel was built. Today is the first day I tried to check in early, rooms were available, and the front desk staff wanted to charge me a fee for early check-in. There is no mention of this (new?) fee in the terms and conditions associated with my stay. When I factor this fee into the total cost of my stay, it would have been less expensive to stay at competing Marriott-branded hotels for essentially identical quality. If you're planning on a stay here, make sure you have zero intention of checking in early and, if you do, be sure to inquire about the (new?) early check-in fee and factor in that added cost before choosing to make a reservation here.

Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I appreciate your feedback and am sorry to hear your arrival experience did not meet your expectations. We do have the option to get a guaranteed early check-in at 10AM for a $25 fee. There are pre-arrival emails sent out that offer that option. Outside of that, the normal guaranteed check-in time is 3PM. We do often try to get people in early upon request based on availability, occupancy levels and on housekeeping for the day. It is my sincere hope that we would have another opportunity to serve you in the future. Warm Regards, Mathew Hoffman General Manager

Didn't get a wink of sleep sadly. Doors close very loud and people were in the hallways a majority of the night talking. Shower was slippery and I almost fell when I went it floor of shower was also dirty. Bed was lumpy and pillows were flat. You would think for $200 a night there would have been more sound proof rooms and better pillows and mattress overall very disappointed and probably would have been better off going to comfort inn. The only reason I picked this location was because it was close to the university.
