I travel very frequently for business, and usually aim for a Marriott or Hilton brand, so I wasn't too thrilled to learn that I would be staying at a Best Western. I have to say that the Radford Inn was quite the surprise. The place was much bigger than I expected it to be, and clean as a whistle. My room was clean and comfortable. The free breakfast was awesome. I couldn't eat just one of their biscuits and gravy, I had to go back for a second. The folks in this town are very friendly, as were the employees. When I returned the following week, I didn't think twice about booking here. Great price, great people, great place. You won't be disappointed.

This stay was for my Father. He felt right at home here. The front desk staff humored him and the staff at breakfast helped him. He raved about the breakfast, and he enjoyed the fact that the Mexican restaurant had their entrane right in the lobby. He liked the salsa bar in Alejandro's restaurant enough that he ate 2 meals there during his 2 day stay.

My parents and I wanted to stay here while on a road trip. We handed the front desk person a coupon from one of the discount coupon books we had picked up at the VA visitors center. We use them always everywhere when we are on a road trip and no hotel has ever denied them. Well... this hotel did.
Even though it clearly said that the coupon was valid for another 2 months, she said that 'they were not acknowledging them this week' ?!? Which they cannot do. I understand it when there is not enough availability, but a hotel cannot simply decide not to acknowledge the coupons.
They then gave us a AAA rate, which was still twice as much as what we would have paid with the coupon.
I think a lot of people fall for this scam, since they are probably tired and just happy to find a nice hotel (it does look like a nice place). We decided not to stay here, and luckily did not fall for their little scam. So, just drive on and find another place a few miles further.

We were spending the weekend visiting our son who attends Virginia Tech. It was a football weekend at Tech and all of the Blacksburg hotels had been taken. We ended up making reservations at the Best Western Inn in Radford. We were pleasantly surprised how close the hotel was to Tech (about 15-20 min. drive). The hotel was well maintained and the lobby was very welcoming. We were greeted by a very friendly hotel clerk who explained all the amenities of the hotel. My husband took advantage of the pool which he said was very nice. We both had breakfast at the complementary buffet, which offered a nice assortment of hot and cold breakfast foods. There was plenty of seating available and it was a good thing for the hotel was obviously filled with many Hokie fans. The person working in the buffet area kept everything filled and kept the area tidy. Our room was clean and comfortable, and very quiet from outside noises. Our overall experience was wonderful and I would not hesitate staying here again,or recommending this hotel to others.
