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gorgeous, they have put a lot of thought and care into how the rooms are decorated - the photos on this Yelp page are outdated, their website (blacklanterninn.com) does a better job of showcasing their beautiful accommodations.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.

It must have been updated recently and it came with an air purifier/white noise machine that kept the room fresh and made sleeping a joy. I have never slept better in a hotel! Staff was great...housekeeping, bar/restaurant staff, bell staff, valets...everyone was a true service professional. I loved the 1882 Bar and stopped there every night for a drink (see separate review). The convenience to downtown is also a plus. Although I did eat a couple of meals at the hotel, the skybridge to downtown makes access to more stores, restaurants and entertainment options very easy. Access from the highway is ridiculously simple and it's only 10 minutes to the airport. We will definitely stay here again.

Both restaurants are really good. Had breakfast, drinks and dinner and they all were enjoyed. Negative Parking. Parking is far from where you need to go, long walk to get to lobby. If it is raining plan on being soaked through. I suppose trying to get you to use the valet. Also, need to scan room key to leave, and when I did, the gate at the other exit opened? Had to back out and go through the whole thing again Train a train runs by the entrance to the hotel, seem to come by every 30 minutes at night, so enjoy that. Customer service. Not very accommodating or helpful. App says gym closed at 11:59, so had dinner, did some work then got to the gym around 945. About 10 or so came in and told me I had to go, gym closed at 10. Showed them the app but didn't care, said they were told it closed at 10 and showed me a sign on the door someone had taped there with hours from 6-10. Complained but essentially told me to go F myself. That doesn't happen at a 5 star hotel. Pretty expensive for a sub par experience. Look elsewhere

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.

First, the location is close to I-81 and convenient for the 20 minute drive to Blacksburg. Second, the interior lobby is cheerful with colorful glass art.
