When my husband made the suggestion that we stop overnight in Roanoke on the way to Asheville and…read moresaid that the place to stay (according to the local Reddit threads) was a B&B I was admittedly unsure. We had never stayed at a traditional bed and breakfast and while the idea was charming (I've seen my share of Hallmark movies), thought that the experience was reserved for a different demographic...I thought the rooms were going to be dated and filled with frilly lace, that the dynamic with the owners was going to be awkward, that we would have to engage in forced conversation with other guests. It's not that we're antisocial, on the contrary, I just had a lot of misconceptions swirling around my head. I trust my husband though, he went ahead and booked it. I can't speak highly enough of our experience with Chris, Jayne, and their little pup Jax. When we mentioned that we would be getting to Roanoke a bit earlier than their check-in time, they were available to welcome us with smiling faces. Chris showed us the before/after of the home's renovations and how it was salvaged, the only one of four houses on the block where the other three were condemned. The home itself is gorgeous, they have put a lot of thought and care into how the rooms are decorated - the photos on this Yelp page are outdated, their website (blacklanterninn.com) does a better job of showcasing their beautiful accommodations. Chris and Jayne live on the first floor with 2 rooms and a shared kitchen on the second floor and a suite on the third floor. We were one of only two rooms booked for the evening, we never saw the other couple as they arrived later and left earlier than us - it was like we had the whole place to ourselves. Chris recommended a number of local breweries, bars, and restaurants for us to explore - he pointed out their 2nd floor deck, complete with cozy blankets and a fireplace heater (perfect for us to share a late night glass of wine). We stayed in the Black Lantern Room which was bright and cheerful, it looked like a page straight out of a restoration hardware catalog. The bed was incredibly comfortable and a welcome sight after a 5 hour drive and an afternoon/evening of eating/drinking our way through downtown Roanoke. In the morning we enjoyed a delicious all-organic breakfast crafted by Jayne. We were treated to yogurt sourced from New Hampshire, an incredible gluten-free coffee cake made with sweet potato flour (that Chris has gone on quite the goose chase to track down), and a veggie filled egg frittata on an english muffin with swiss cheese and bacon. I typically have to hide vegetables into my husbands food, but even knowing what was baked into his breakfast he hummed his way through (a sign he is enjoying his meal) the sandwich; we were also treated to Roanoke's own H&C coffee. We enjoyed our breakfast along with the company of Jax and the kind and genuine conversation of Jayne and Chris - they truly put a lot of love into the experience they provide their guests. As we were leaving, Jayne handed us 2 little baggies with locally baked croissants for our 4 1/2 drive down to North Carolina - they really do think of everything. I can't speak highly enough of our short stay here and would absolutely and wholeheartedly recommend the Black Lantern Inn and our gracious hosts to anyone looking for a place to stay in the area.

Operated under the Hilton brand, the hotel is currently owned by Virginia Tech. The mammoth facility has a Conference Center suitable for hosting large conventions, including banquet rooms, meeting rooms and guest rooms. Hotel Roanoke was the site of a large convention that I was a part of for many years. Serving as Vice Convention Chair for several years, I found the staff extremely easy to work with in both the planning and the event itself. Serving as Convention Pianist prior to that I found the pianos well tuned and positioned as requested. Checking in was easy even with the large amount of arriving guests. A special check in desk was available for Hilton Honors members, along with the appropriate amenities provided. Guest rooms were comfortable and roomy. Banquet meals were excellent and as requested. Dining was also available in different areas for meals not in the Conference Center. Check out for large groups was handled well. The years that I served as State Treasurer, the Convention billing was detailed and handled with efficiency, allowing both myself and the Finance Chairman to assure its accuracy. Should you visit Roanoke either a stay or visit to Hotel Roanoke is a must.

They allowed us to gather in the lobby for a few hours at night with others participating in the hike, which made it a great place to connect and spend time together. They also have a beautiful outdoor area with a fire pit where we were able to relax, enjoy some cigars, and have a few drinks after a long day. It really added to the overall experience. One of the standout touches was the staff opening the breakfast buffet early for us since we had very early morning hikes. They did this for two days over the weekend, which did not go unnoticed and was greatly appreciated. The staff was friendly, accommodating, and went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well maintained. Highly recommend this Hampton Inn, especially if you are traveling with a group. They truly went above and beyond.

Overall, our stay at the Hampton Inn Salem was okay, but there were definitely a few things that…read morecould have been better. It worked fine for what we needed while traveling, but I would consider it more of an average hotel experience. The lady who checked us in was very helpful and friendly. Check in went smoothly, and we had no issues getting settled into our room. The breakfast was also good. It was your typical hotel breakfast with the usual options, but everything we had was good and it was nice having breakfast available before getting back on the road. One of my biggest disappointments was the fitness room. I like being able to get a workout in while traveling, but only one of the three treadmills was working. Having three treadmills available looks great, but it does not help much when two of them are out of service. Hopefully they get those repaired soon. Another thing we noticed was a strong chemical smell throughout the hallways. It smelled like the carpets had recently been cleaned, but either too much cleaning solution was used or the carpets had not been completely rinsed and dried. The smell was pretty noticeable when walking through the halls and made them smell damp rather than freshly cleaned. I appreciate that they are cleaning the carpets, but whatever process was used could definitely be improved. The hotel itself served its purpose for our trip. The staff interaction we had was good, breakfast was convenient, and we were able to get some rest before continuing on our travels. Nothing happened that would make me say this was a terrible stay, but there were enough small issues that I could not rate the experience higher. With some attention to the fitness equipment and the carpet cleaning situation, this could easily be a better experience. For a quick overnight stop while traveling, it gets the job done, but based on this particular stay, I would consider it an average hotel experience overall.

A few years ago we were surprised to hear they now charge for dogs from an original no charge policy but we fully understand and they have kept it reasonable at $25. night. Key factors in our choice was the cleanliness of the rooms, the dog policy, the reasonable price and definitely the breakfast.
