Spark by Hilton Roanoke Airport
Great hotel, staff was amazing and so accommodating, they allow pets, but it didn’t smell like they allow pets. Great hotel will stay there again for sure.

Baymont by Wyndham Salem Roanoke Area
Dirty bath tub. Complained. Tub cleaned next day of our 2 day stay. Floor in bathroom not well cleaned. TV not working when checked in. Notified desk and eventually tech came and corrected the problem. Breakfast buffet somewhat less than other brand hotels.

Hyatt Place Roanoke Airport/Valley View Mall
Clean large updated rooms. property was under remodel when I stayed but I’m sure it will look great once finished. I wasn’t impressed with breakfast, extremely limited so that is something that definitely should be improved. Lots of parking space.
