I really wish all this wasn't going on so we could've sat downstairs on the patio and had some drinks. I have to give a special shoutout to the service there. I really wish we got the name of the woman working that night because she was so nice to us and she loved meeting our dog (This hotel does allow pups!). The next time we're passing through, we'll definitely be stopping here again, and I know my pup will remember the manager!

We were put on the first floor near the elevators, which usually wouldn't bother me, but we have 2 small children and heard literally every noise until people went to bed at 2am. The room was nice inside-- 2 queen sized beds, clean sheets, a small kitchen stocked with some dishes, a fridge, stove, and small appliances. The bathroom was clean and stocked with fresh towels. The heat was bumping, so we turned it off and the room was warm the entire night. The water cooler in gym was broken and wipes were dry, but they did offer towels in both gym and pool areas, which was nice. Our kids loved the pool and were able to swim in it for about an hour before bed. Signs on the wall are conflicting about times though-- the pool opens at 10am, but one sign said it closed at 10pm and another said 11pm. There was a restaurant and bar in the lobby, which made it very convenient to grab dinner when we got in. There must have been a company Christmas party in the coference center and people kept coming out to get drinks at the bar. My husband and I ordered hot wings, mozzarella sticks, and a burger and paid close to $50 including tip, which, I'd say, is fairly average. Food came quickly and was hot. We ate in the room with our kids and used the kitchen to prepare their food. The bummer was that breakfast wasn't included in our stay. I guess you have to be Diamond status or something to eat for free. Kids eat free, but it's $10 for breakfast otherwise. The people serving breakfast and maintaining the area we extremely nice and very friendly, but I'd say the food wasn't worth the price. My daughter said the cereal was stale and probably had been sitting in the container a bit. The cooler for the yogurts was either broken or not turned on because each individual yogurt I picked up wasn't super cold. However, there were plenty of "eggs," turkey sausage, and bacon. I believe hash browns and oatmeal were also options. My daughter got some thick sliced toast, which she enjoyed, but I honestly think you can get a better breakfast for less 2 miles down the road at Waffle House. Being a dog friendly hotel and the cleanliness makes me okay with coming back. I'll probably just make sure to pack more groceries next time.

I've stayed at this location and Starkey rd. and any time I'm traveling or need lodging for more than a week or two I would never go to another extended stay or business suite.

One of the worst experiences of places to stay in the beautiful Roanoke valley area…read more The Affordable Corporate Suites on Florist Road in Roanoke, Virginia was awful! Tiny room, expensive, walls so thin you can hear every sound from next room and above. People coughing and talking Could hear their TV's, water running, toilets flushing, bed's squeaking, doors slamming and anything else neighbors were doing. Plus, outside siren's and planes flying overhead. The studio rooms are so small we bumped into each other and the walls and doorknobs just walking around. Tiny kitchen with half size fridge and stove. The one contact had with the owner, Lance was to find he was an obnoxious, overbearing bully who started yelling, his face turned red and there was actual spittle on his lips when he threatened us! Not a good way to run a business! The property manager, Oona just stood there watching and listening! She was barely competent at her job. Shower collected water over ankles in just a few seconds and the toilet was too low to the ground, water level in it too low and moved when you sat down! Drawers stick on dresser and don't close all the way. DVD player doesn't work properly. The one good person was Tonie the housekeeper. She was pleasant, quick, competent and kept the place clean weekly. A very unpleasant place to stay! Not worth the money as there are much better places to stay in Roanoke! Save your money and go elsewhere!!!

First time rolling into Roanoke Virginia on an Amtrak train into Roanoke station. Like ever. Quite…read morefun and it was an interesting and quiet time. It was cheaper to fly into Washington DC and taking the Amtrak to Roanoke than flying directly in and out of Roanoke regional airport. And so, I took the Amtrak line direct from Washington DC Union station to Roanoke Virginia. It was nice and nonstop. It was a nice and warm March 2026 day in Roanoke, when I arrived. Upon arrival, we disembarked the train and onto the train platform. The Roanoke Amtrak station was nothing more than a stretch of concrete for travelers to walk on after they arrived and signage that welcomed the train and its passengers to the train station. There was no actual building or other facilities that told you what train was departing or arriving. It was just a train station stop in Roanoke, Virginia. Even though Roanoke was a sizable city with its own airport, it felt like it was a small town in the middle of Southwest Virginia. It was a gateway to rural southeast West Virginia and the surrounding areas, but it was the last station where the Southwest Chief train terminated. No train officials to direct you to anywhere, because it wasn't a place where you can transfer to another train. It wasn't the end of the line here in Roanoke. It was a little bit disappointing to see where nobody really cared, since you were on your own. Unless you were traveling with friends or family, you were on your own. The only thing about riding Amtrak is that it can be a very nice experience, especially with the prices. For a 5 hour morning train ride, I spent only $25.00. Quite nice actually. A bit disappointing that only the basic signage that you were in Roanoke and the railroad train tracks ended here. It was nice traveling on a train but the end result was a bit uneventful for sure. The overall experience here on the Amtrak train Southwest Chief from Washington Union station to Roanoke Virginia was very nice and quiet. The Roanoke train station was very basic and very quiet when we arrived on a basic March 2026 afternoon, especially for it being in a downtown area. Once I departed the train with my luggage, I looked around and saw the Roanoke train station signage and was happy that I made it to Roanoke, safe and sound. I looked around for anyone that could point me in the right direction, but only thing I had was my phone and GPS. No security or persons to escort me out of the area, no nothing. It was almost like a public bus terminal but without benches for people to sit and wait. It was like that. Kind of interesting but not really. No restroom facilities or even WiFi or anything. Just a simple space where Amtrak trains can safely park and let their passengers depart. The ambiance was nice and quiet that Wednesday afternoon. I ended up finding my way to the local area bus stop exchange 1/2 mile away, which I walked it with my luggage. After debating not to wait 1 hour for the bus to take me to grab lunch, I walked 2 miles towards my Airbnb for the evening and grabbed a late lunch and dinner around there. The Roanoke Amtrak station is located physically at 55 Norfolk Ave NE in downtown Roanoke. The Museum of Transportation History and the 3rd Street local Roanoke Valley Transit station is nearby. Bookings are typically made online for Amtrak, so best to do that. My time at the Roanoke Amtrak station was brief, knowing that any way out possible was either by walking or calling an Uber for fast service. I decided to walk it because I wanted to save money at the time. For the most part though, it was an interesting experience to arrive at an Amtrak station that did not have a building to house Amtrak station operations, even in a small city town like Roanoke. Just got off the train and walked out of the area and simply into downtown Roanoke. Just like that. It was cool though. No need to pass thru any security or anything to be able to get on or off the train. If you want to, you can use the local bus service to get you to the 3rd street station and walk 0.5 miles to here to wait for your Amtrak train out of Roanoke. If you prefer, there's always walking, Uber, and Lyft at your disposal. Roanoke is a walkable city but usually it's more comfortable if you took the local bus service or ride the local bus for pure enjoyment and convenience. The Amtrak train itself was comfortable and easy enough to sleep upright if you are sitting. They have outlets to charge your devices while traveling on the rails. 5.0 stars for the overall experience. Cheap and reliable transportation. Definitely worth considering versus flying. Support local! A+

The aesthetics from the outside was not attractive to me. No debris in the lot or walk up. No issues with parking and thank you for Diamond Parking. Check in was ok, no acknowledgment of Hilton Honors, no complimentary bottle water. Other experiences with the front desk during my stay were very good. The rate was fantastic which is why I booked. The general areas of the hotel seemed fine. I did not utilize the FREE breakfast. All areas I was in were clean. My double was prepared for my arrival and everything worked including TV. The bath had proper supplies except low shampoo that ran out day two. Beds comfortable. Wake up calls went off with no issue. I denied cleaning during my three nights. The room was decorated, or lack there of strangely in my opinion. Empty walls where art should be. Then art above the beds. I may, or may not stay at this Spark again. 3.5 fits them best, but rounding down.
