Loud, slow, but new & good breakfast

Our check in at just after 1am on a Friday night was painfully slow. There were 2 people in front of us and it took over 30 minutes to check in. We were exhausted after a long drive in and it was such a wait. Once we did get into our room and went to bed we realized how LOUD the hotel was. Slamming doors, people walking loudly, banging things. There's no carpet in the rooms so there's nothing to dampen the sound. We slept horribly even with a white noise machine because every time we started dozing off something made a loud banging/pounding sound. Breakfast was good with lots of options, minimum seating though. Thankful for a kind man who gave myself & my three kids his table.

Exceptionally clean and orderly, very well designed for simplicity and ease of stay, extremely polite staff. Chris from the hotel even called us after we’d checked out to let us know we’d accidentally left an item in our room. Such an honest and thoughtful thing to do! This hotel was just as clean and well-kept as the luxury hotel we’d been staying in the previous few days…and possibly even more so!

I have stayed at many hotels in Roanoke and Salem, but I will always stay at Avid from now on. The rooms are clean, beds are comfortable, bathrooms are immaculate. Very friendly staff. I never have breakfast at hotels but this one is the exception. Excellent.
