Comfort Inn Blacksburg University Area
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Comfort Inn Blacksburg University Area is worth booking if you have a car, want the lowest price of our three Blacksburg picks and value a hot breakfast. If spotless rooms matter more than saving roughly €16 to €19 a night, our other two picks score higher with guests.

This is a practical base for drivers on a budget. Parents visiting students, sports fans heading to a game and people passing through on a road trip will find the basics here: free parking, a pool, a gym and breakfast listed as American buffet.
Pets appear in the property tags, which helps if you travel with a dog. Confirm the pet policy and any fee directly before you book.
Skip it if cleanliness is your top concern. Some guests report musty odours, missed housekeeping or pests. It is also not the place for travellers without a car who want to walk to campus or to restaurants.
Location and getting around
The address is 3705 S. Main St., Blacksburg. Guests describe the setting as quiet and a short drive from the university, restaurants and shops. Read that as a car-based location, not a walkable one.
We have no verified walking times to campus or to the town centre, so plan on driving or arranging a ride. The property lists a free airport shuttle. Which airport it serves, its schedule and whether you need to book it are not confirmed, so ask the hotel before you rely on it.
Guests rate the location 8.7 out of 10, which fits the picture of an easy, calm spot with parking rather than a central one.
What guests say
The overall score is 8.1 out of 10 from 492 reviews. That is a solid number, but it was the lowest review score among the 7 hotels we compared in Blacksburg.
Breakfast earns the clearest praise. Guests mention a hot buffet with a large variety of fresh options and waffles. The quiet setting also comes up as a plus.
The main complaint is room cleanliness. Many rooms are described as clean, yet some guests report musty smells, housekeeping that did not happen, or pests. This is the tradeoff you accept for the lower price.
Price and how it compares with our other Blacksburg picks
In our reference check, a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults came to about €82.30 per night, roughly €165 for both nights. That was 17% below the median of the hotels we sampled. These are reference prices seen for those dates, not live quotes, so check today's price for your own dates.
Hyatt Place Blacksburg/University, our Best Value pick, was about €98.47 a night with a guest score of 9.2. The Inn at Virginia Tech - On Campus, our Luxury pick, was about €101.06 a night with 9.1. The gap is small: around €16 to €19 a night buys a noticeably higher guest score. If budget is tight, the Comfort Inn saves money. If it is not, the other two deserve a look.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 7 eligible hotels in Blacksburg. The Comfort Inn had the lowest eligible reference price once the upscale choice was set aside, which made it our Budget pick.
It also brings useful extras for the money: pool, gym, free parking, free Wi-Fi, air conditioning and a breakfast guests like. Its guest score of 8.1 is still good, even if it trails the rest of the field.
Before you book
Check whether breakfast is included in your rate, since breakfast inclusion has not been assessed. Confirm the cancellation terms, the pet fee and how the airport shuttle works.
Room size, noise and renovation condition have not been assessed either. Recent reviews are the best place to see whether the cleanliness complaints are still current. Pool and gym opening times and any fees should be confirmed for your dates.
