We arrived a little after 4p on Saturday, 11/15. Since this hotel is located in downtown Blacksburg, parking isn't in abundance. Main Street Inn has roughly 7-10 spots, then there are temporary spots available in order to check in. Check in was easy enough, although the man at the counter was asleep when we arrived. The room was spacious with 2 queen size beds. Also, there was a small flatscreen television and typical things you'd find in a hotel room (hangers, dresser, clock, iron, ironing board, etc.). The bathroom was spacious and clean. The one thing that was missing was vending machines, and I didn't see an ice machine. But there is a convenience store across the street and a 7-11 about 2 blocks away, so that wasn't a big issue. The room was $200 a night. I felt that was a good deal considering its proximity to Virginia Tech's campus. On top of it, the man at the front desk was kind and helpful. Thank you, Main Street Inn, for a memorable visit. JV

We stayed at Main Street Inn on September 8,2025, and were very disappointed. The front desk was…read moreblocked off with caution tape, and the lobby sitting room was sealed behind plastic curtains. Our room (205) was not as advertised--the only window faced a cement wall, the extra blanket had black stains, and there was black mold/dirt along the shower door. If there were water or maintenance issues, we should have been notified before booking. On the positive side, the two young women at the desk were kind and helpful, but overall, this was not the charming stay we expected and we would not return.

After the interaction, two other customers that saw it mentioned their bad experiences with her that night. Then she proceeds to give a koozie for free to a guy. Also will straight up ignore you and not serve you if she decides she doesn't like you. Get a real job if you don't want to bartend as a manager at YOUR understaffed bar.

The quiet reverence for 'true art' is overwhelming as the gallery manager stands quietly 'at your service' but not 'in your face'. The experience of slowly walking through this true gallery is so refreshing and a great place to find your center and open your eyes.

Fortunately I called ahead to set up a tour (205-5404754) because they are only open Saturday 11-4. What a gem in local history and artists. They had just opened a section on "Wheels" by George T Anderson, Jr on the history of wheels brought to life with hand carved and handmade examples throughout time. There was a native American section with more arrowheads than I have ever seen collected. A 2 seater outhouse and an African-American musician section. Loads of local history and so many other sections to see. We were there almost 2 hours and you could easily spend more time if you wanted. If you are looking for a unique experience this is the place to go!

The City of Roanoke is rich in the Arts. Today I decided to go visit this very unique Art Gallery…read morein that it's a Coop Gallery. The members get to exhibit their artwork there, and when it's sold, get to keep higher percentage of the sale than if they sold it through a regular Gallery. If you're an Art buyer or collector, you also win because you don't have to deal with a middleman and so the prices of the artworks are more reasonable. This Gallery is located on Campbell Ave, in front of the Center in the Square, in one of the most desired storefront areas in the heart of Downtown Roanoke. It has a reasonable size long space where different Art medium are exhibited such as paintings, photographs, sculptures, and some creative mediums, just to name a few. I had an opportunity to meet with some of the artists who are members and have their work exhibited there and they were so friendly and welcoming, talking to me about the Gallery and answering all my questions. I love art. Took several electives in Art History while in College. My most prestigious painting that I have ever had was an oil painting by Mary K. Trotter, an American artist who studied in Philadelphia at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts before moving to Paris. I bought it at an Art Gallery in Beacon Hill, Boston, and even had to put it in lay away to be able to afford it. This Gallery is the perfect place for those who love art to purchase their first artwork to exhibit in the living room of their home, or maybe even to begin their own Art collection. If you're an artist, either full time, or part-time, you can consider joining this Coop Gallery and selling some of your art. Whatever you do, I would highly recommend that you visit this Gallery and view the wonderful artworks exhibited there.

Absolutely love this gallery. Such a variety of art and artists. must go and visit !!read more
