Very clean, quiet and conveniently located lodge at a reasonable price. It was just remodeled in retro style, which is very neat. Lots of parking. No breakfast but coffee and tea station is open all day. This hotel was a very pleasant surprise. We travel to Roanoke often so we definitely will stay here again
