My wife and I stayed at this all-suite hotel which is just minutes from Virginia Tech. It is our favorite place to stay when we visit our son at college. They recently revovated the rooms and lobby and did an excellent job. Hawthorne offers a very reasonable rate that include all of the extras; internet access, pool, hot breakfast, fitness... More

This is a nice hotel, albeit not architecturally distinguished; but it's quiet and well-maintained and the service is great. The only disappointment was that it wasn't as close to the Virginia Tech campus as I'd thought; but it is within walking distance, albeit a long walk, so if you don't have a car, you can either walk or have the...

Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. Your feedback is helpful to us and our potential guests. For the record, our hotel is exactly one mile from the entrance to Virginia Tech at West Campus Drive and a mile-and-a-half from Burruss Hall at the heart of campus. We believe this location offers the best combination... More

nice place, but on many weekends they raise price from $100 to $350!!! price goes up whenever college event on, but makes it impossible to be a regular there on business travels. highest jump i've ever experienced!

While it is true that our rates increase for special University events, the very highest rate that we have ever charged or quoted was $289. This year our max rate for football games was $209, and for graduation our highest rate was $259 for a double suite. We realize that these rates are still high for a business traveler, but... More

I'll start out by saying the front desk staff was great. Good attitudes, helpful, friendly, etc. Also has good proximity to VT. Everything else, however? Not so great. I do quite a bit of business travel and see my fare share of hotels rooms - I'd rate this hotel at the lower end. When I first drove up, I wasn't... More

We stay at the Hawthorn for all of the VT Home Football games. It is so convenient to the University and the suite makes it nice if you have a student you want to bring back and visit with. The breakfast (included) is good. We find it comfortable, clean and nice. We have probably stayed there at least 20-25 times... More

We had a smooth and easy late check in on Christmas Day to a wonderful suite for 5 of us who spent 10 hours in the car, for a reasonable AAA rate of $98. The young adults were motivated enough to use the exercise facility, and the full breakfast with 'make your own waffles' was the best we encountered on... More

its not a five star hotel but it is a five star experience. Pricey but not any more than the other hotels in its class. You have to give kudos to a well run business that really knows how to take care of its customers/travelers ... even if it means upping the competition for hotel rooms during prime weekends :)...

We stayed here for a VT football home game weekend. The rates are about 4x what they are any other time, but that is to be expected for a football weekend. But, for $240/night it is looking a little worn. When we checked in, they put an additional $25 incidental charge on our cards. I thought that was a little... More
