It’s tough to have to travel on a budget and trusting images descriptions online as this was a really bad place. Luckily I didn’t experience bedbugs but there was a bad odor, sheets with hair on it, dead cockroaches, stinkbugs hiding, mold build up, and trash like condom wrapper left behind. It was loud with the two highways on either side and the shower took forever to warm up, many minutes. Luckily they didn’t try to overcharge me and I only needed a quick stay to sleep but this is one of the worst places I’ve seen across the country, not worth $50/night spend more and go elsewhere ![Mildew ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/fb6a6cc4-8b4e-4162-a3ff-eb7db43b8958-1761048729313.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Cockroach ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/281eeb58-8855-4779-9457-5c9ecb60682e-1761048728180.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Condom wrapping ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9742c0be-74c0-4473-ab44-09b033bdde37-1761048729233.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Broken lock](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1efcad9f-c279-4a50-9294-b9186c6aed0e-1761048728975.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Steven Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kevin 12 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Quiet and accessible ##### Kevin Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charley 10 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great value! Traditional road-side motel - no frills, but clean and a nice bed to sleep in. Really easy check-in/check-out with not issues! ##### Charley Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Richard 21 May 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Did not stay Left after one hour. Was filthy ##### Richard Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Esther 16 May 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Not a good motel, not a hotel. Arrived and name on motel was Bluejay, not what was advertised. Would not suggest others to stay. Towels felt like they were hung dry. If I wasn't so exhausted would not have stayed. ##### Esther Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel 17 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Aged property and non-smoking room smells like smoke, but there is a fridge with freezer, microwave and a nice Mexican restaurant a mile down the road. Inexpensive compared with near by options, and close to trailhead. ##### Rachel Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 27 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Very much enjoyed our stay here. After reading previous reviews we almost canceled and went elsewhere. I'm glad we didn't do that. It was quiet (other than traffic which is not something that they can control) and there were no issues at all. I would stay there again. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Viet 21 Sept 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities They posted Hotel OYO but it motel name Blue Jay. It’s terrible ad ##### Viet Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Sean 10 Nov 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Stay away Looked nothing like the pictures in the the actual room, name different on the sign ##### Sean Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Viktor 20 May 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This motel is in the middle of the freeway, right next to the gas station and there is nothing around. It is very run down place. Picture of the room is from a different motel or taken 30 years ago. There are no people were around and i saw staff member only twice-when i got the key and on check out. There was a power outage for about 6 hours or more, i could not find anyone to ask for a flashlight or a candle. I guess when you need a place with a door for one night, i’ll do. ##### Viktor Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### john 28 Oct 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities room was terrible and I'm not a picky person ##### john Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Erica 15 Nov 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This was a scary site when we pulled up and the sign at the road does not even read OYO Hotel, it reads Blue Jay Motel. I would pass on staying here again, we were supposed to stay 2 nights and only stayed 1 and I would not even use the shower, I took my shower somewhere else and not at this scary place. ##### Erica Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Michael 18 Sept 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Never again Think i rather sleep in my car then there again ##### Michael Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Shawna 1 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities It doesn’t look like the pictures at all. But the owner was the best!! And it still was super clean! ##### Shawna Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Thomas 12 Jun 2023 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Good for a single night. The soap was so old that it didn't work until you left it in water for awhile. ##### Thomas ### 2/10 Terrible #### Anne 29 May 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Norman Bates Took 20 minutes to register site. Clearly shows there is new paint and new bedding and new linens and new flooring, but apparently these are just showrooms. I ended up in a room that hadn't had the carpet changed for 50 years. Colors were brand new but over the top of dirty stained walls. Stains already starting to show through no bathtub. Just a shower tiny clearly says on the check-in. No refunds which should have told me something right then ##### Anne Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### James 1 Dec 2024 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities No heat, no new soap only a used soap bar, no tissue, broken sink, needs a total renovation ##### James Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### melissa 27 Oct 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The place needs to be renovated. Bathroom had broken tile and the caulking was a mess. The outside looks like it has been abandoned. I would say it is about. 20 min drive to Va Tech and easy to get into and out. If you are staying one night then it’s doable. ##### melissa Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### James 10 Sept 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Towels were dingy and stained, room smelled like mold, carpeting was soiled ##### James Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Richard 14 May 2023 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Shabby and uninviting. No water or coffee ##### Richard Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### John 21 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Poor outside signage.....had previous motel signage in front of property. Rather worn furniture around entrance to property. Bed was comfortable and afforded us a good night's sleep. Room was clean; TV worked well. All outlets on room operated off entrance switch light switch. Did not notice until next morning as my phone did not charge. Would stay again. ##### John Stayed 1 night in Jun 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Winchester by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hotel-Suites-Winchester.h1090593.Hotel-Information) > > [Timber Ridge Lodge and Waterpark](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Geneva-Hotels-Timber-Ridge-Lodge-And-Waterpark.h1043867.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Santa Clara](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Clara-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Santa-Clara.h4313.Hotel-Information) > > [Shirley's Bed and Breakfast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Roanoke-Hotels-Shirleys-Bed-And-Breakfast.h17137300.Hotel-Information) > > [Baymont by Wyndham Mishawaka South Bend Area](https://www.expedia.co.uk/South-Bend-Hotels-Baymont-By-Wyndham-Mishawaka-South-Bend-Area.h1976.Hotel-Information) > > [Solterra Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Solterra-Resort.h18526478.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [Aspen Select](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Aspen-Select.h12245240.Hotel-Information) > > [Maui Coast Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kihei-Hotels-Maui-Coast-Hotel.h28645.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge by Wyndham Winchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-Travelodge-By-Wyndham-Winchester.h9600.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Winchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Winchester.h1497898.Hotel-Information) > > [Wuksachi Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sequoia-National-Park-Hotels-Wuksachi-Lodge.h893730.Hotel-Information) > > [Gurney's Montauk Resort & Seawater Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Montauk-Hotels-Gurneys-Montauk-Resort-Seawater-Spa.h7033726.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Marguerite Anaheim/Garden Grove, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Garden-Grove-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Garden-Grove-Anaheim-South.h917954.Hotel-Information) > > [Anvil Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jackson-Hole-Hotels-Anvil-Hotel.h894210.Hotel-Information) > > [Yosemite View Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/El-Portal-Hotels-Yosemite-View-Lodge.h576660.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Cocoa Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Cocoa-Beach-Oceanfront.h894002.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Price by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Price-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Price.h9253345.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Myrtle Beach - N Kings Hwy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Myrtle-Beach-N-Kings-Hwy.h6849.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea Crest Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/North-Falmouth-Hotels-Sea-Crest-Beach-Hotel.h25567.Hotel-Information) > > [Cartoon Network Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lancaster-Hotels-Cartoon-Network-Hotel.h50407269.Hotel-Information) > > [Bayshore Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Traverse-City-Hotels-Bayshore-Resort.h34264.Hotel-Information) > > [Bar N Ranch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/West-Yellowstone-Hotels-Bar-N-Ranch.h11548135.Hotel-Information) > > [Archer Hotel Tysons](https://www.expedia.co.uk/McLean-Hotels-Archer-Hotel-Tysons.h66734754.Hotel-Information) > > [Yosemite Southgate Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oakhurst-Hotels-Yosemite-Southgate-Hotel-Suites.h3650.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Key Largo by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Key-Largo-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Key-Largo.h7230.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Winchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Winchester.h2169428.Hotel-Information) > > [The View Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kayenta-Hotels-The-View-Hotel.h59418009.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [Balmoral Resort Florida](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haines-City-Hotels-Balmoral-Resort-Florida.h19447044.Hotel-Information)
