    There is a lot to like about this hotel. First, the obvious. Yes, it is in the middle of no where…read more Things in the middle of no where tend to not be as shinny and bedazzled as the same thing in more populated areas. While the outside of the building looks like a smaller and less bedazzled building, it's in good shape and well maintained. The same is true for the rooms. Everything is plenty fine, clean, orderly, and not in any kind of state of disrepair. Staff is very nice and the hallways are clean and free of smells. It's a quiet place despite being right next to the interstate. The breakfast area is small, but it does a great job with what they have. They have folded egg omelets, Jimmy Dean sausage, make-your-own waffles, cereals, juices, fruits, carbs, etc. There is a small workout room as well. Next door is a Subway and gas station with typical convenience store items, and across the street is a home cooking' restaurant that locals seem to like. Driving south 4 miles or so will take you into Marion where there are many restaurants, Walmart, and other stores common in small towns. This motel is also about 4 miles from the Mount Rogers Recreation Headquarters and access to the Appalachian Trail. Bottom line, there is a lot to like about this model and they do the most they can with it.

    Great little place! Love the "inn" feeling -- down to the set of keys provided for both the room…read moreand the main places of the inn. Quaint and somewhat unique these days! Like a maze inside, but very cool. Great service by the young lady who got us checked in! Felt like distant family welcoming us to their home. Charming. Live music, good food, great back patio/beach, and wonderful rooms with a good view and walkout to a patio overlooking the river. If there weren't so many telephone/power poles around the front of the place, photography opportunities would be great. At least the backyard is picturesque. The only slightly negative thing worth noting is that outside it can be a bit loud considering both the river with its small waterfall and the live music. Def would go back!

    Loved my stay last week. From the moment I arrived, I was treated like family. After staying in…read moreprior years in smaller economy rooms, I booked a large room on the second floor with access to a shared balcony for 2 nights. The sound of the waterfall was extremely relaxing and since I was able to open windows it made for a restful sleep. My room was near the noise from the bar but it ended at 9:00. The breakfast in the morning was delicious (fluffy eggs, bacon, biscuits and gravy, fruit, muffins, toast, bagels and mugs of coffee), managed by a wonderfully attentive woman who went table to table to ask if everythi was ok. All of this was accompanied by a beautiful view of the river. Great way to start the day. Dinner of grilled trout, mashed potatoes with garlic and rosemary, and braised heirloom carrots from the new fall menu was lovely. Finally, I enjoyed the mix of people I encountered, from retirees (like me) there to ride the Creeper trail (currently the Damascus to Abingdon portion is open, trail from Whitetop to Damascus open Mar27), to a group planning to hike the Appalachian Trail for 3 days. Lots of adventure to be found in the area. My favorite though was relaxing and painting on the deck by the river. Will definitely be back.

    What a terrific hotel! Great location, literally right off of 81. Tons of parking. Lots of…read moreamenities, including an amazing breakfast that is included with the hotel stay. Super nice and clean rooms and common spaces. Very friendly staff. Service was amazing. The rooms and the entire hotel had a new smell. Easy to check in/out. They have coffee/tea available 24/7. There's a great indoor and outdoor space for sitting. These are also great spaces for when indulging in the free breakfast. The breakfast is an amazing value and it is tasty. Yogurt, fruit, cereal, waffles, bagels, toast, eggs, sausage, biscuits/gravy, coffee, tea, premade omelette... so many options! All the condiments and such are also provided. This alone is a fantastic deal!! The staff that were restocking and keeping things going were very friendly too. Very comfortable room. Nice bed/pillows. There's plenty of storage. A desk, a chair w/side table, fridge, iron, closet, and bathroom with all the toiletries included. Super cute decor and all local places in the art! Super cute. Hampton Inn is just a spectacular value for such lovely comfort, service, and convenience. Would for sure come back and would highly recommend.

There are 5 Tesla chargers in the parking lot and if you don't have an adapter, don't worry, just ask inside. We upgraded to a more spacious room for just a few dollars more and it was definitely worth every cent. Clean and spacious with a whisper quiet AC. No Red Hot Moments at this cold as you want room. Breakfast was elevated in its offerings and the employees were very helpful and friendly. They even have a 4 for $15 beer special. The best was the private dog park. This hotel thinks of everything. In the sea of hotel mediocrity, if I could give 6 stars I would.
