Perfect for an overnight stop. Staff was extremelyfriendly and accommodating. Newly renovated very modern breakfast area with offerings we had not had in other LQ (biscuits, gravy and sausage). Rooms are decent size with fridge micro ironing board coffe maker. Bed and linens are very nice.Exhaust and Wc were quiet. Rooms and bathroom seem recently renovated too. Next to I-81 close enough to Salem for rrestaurants. Did notgo toRoanoke so cannot say about proximity.The general manager greeted personally guests and even went to our door to make sure everything was satisfactory. Only thing that might be a problem for some is that it is more of a hotel, but there are side doors to access parking. Area feels very safe.r.

We stayed one night while passing through Virginia. I pre-booked on the La Quinta web site. No problems at all. Asked for a ground floor room and had a nice one waiting for us. The rooms were spacious and clean, the entire facility seemed very well cared for. The wall may be a little thin, as we could hear someone stomping around in the room above us, but that ceased about 10pm and we heard them no more. Although they were booked up and the breakfast room was swarming with folks, the little white haired lady who prepared breakfast kept the chow coming with a smile and friendly greeting for everyone. Biscuits and sausage gravy, boiled eggs, waffles, pastries, cerial etc. We will try to time our trip up I-81 so we stop at the La Quinta the next we drive through VA to Maryland. Also, with a military discount the room was only $77 plus tax.

This was another good experience of the La Quinta chain. The room was clean and well appointed and breakfast was ample in nice, comfortable surroundings. The only point I would make is that the cold drinks machine buzzed on and off all night on the second floor. I am not sure how this might be remedied but it meant putting in ear plugs. This is the only negative. Apart from that everything was very comfortable.

Had an excellent stay. Room was very clean and spacious. Bed was very comfortable and quite. Did not hear any noise from outside during the night. Bathroom a little small but was ok with it. Breakfast was very good. Staff very friendly and helpful. Would stay there again if back that way. Loved it!

We have been traveling to Salem, VA for the last four years as our daughter attended Roanoke College. We have two small dogs and we liked to take them with us when we visited her there. Of course everyone knows La Quintas are the best when you travel with animals. BUT this La Quinta is my first choice even when I am not bringing the dogs. Everyone here is just so magnificent. I often travel alone and always feel safe and well cared for. I have seen the same people at the front desk as well as the nice woman who sets up the wonderful breakfast and those who maintain our rooms for the past four years. If you need something just ask, they are so accommodating. Often people write reviews to complain, I want everyone to know whether you are passing through, visiting Roanoke College, attending a wedding or a Virginia Tech game, this is the best choice for your stay. Thank you everyone at La Quinta on Sheraton Drive for being our home away from home.
