Hilton Garden Inn Blacksburg University

About The Hotel

The Hilton Garden Inn Blacksburg University on Plantation Road is the town’s benchmark 4-star hotel and Virginia Tech’s visitor default — an indoor-pool, restaurant, bar/lounge and fitness-center Hilton at the northeast corner of campus, walking distance from the Duck Pond and 5 minutes’ drive to Lane Stadium. Subratings run consistently strong (cleanliness 4.7, location 4.7, rooms 4.6, service 4.6), and recent 2025 reviews highlight comfy beds and pillows, cheerful late-night check-in staff, Hilton Honors welcome touches, and clean pet-friendly rooms. Best for Hokie football weekends, parent visits, campus recruiting and Virginia Tech families wanting a reliable pool hotel adjacent to campus.

What Guests Are Saying

“Had an amazing experience at the Blacksburg Hilton Garden Inn while there for a football game with family. Hotel was well prepared for the rush of a game weekend and is so close to campus and downtown it made getting around super easy. The staff was very friendly and helpful, including the manager, Robert, who made sure our stay was memorable. Room was clean and spotless and the made to order breakfast was delicious. Prices were reasonable, too. Highly recommend for those visiting the school.” — Jay N., 5 stars

“I stay here for work couple of times a month. Location is great. Got a great atmosphere. The personnel is great especially Vicky and Bri and we came forget Austin at the bar. The rooms are always clean. Got a real nice exercising room and a nice pool indoors of course if you like to walk, they’ve got Trail to walk. It’s just a super great place to stay. It has a great value also.” — bill V., 5 stars
