Top hotels in Merrimac
The Inn at Virginia Tech and Skelton Conference Center
Good and clean rooms, friendly staff, comfortable beds, and excellent location. Restaurant under renovation so that impacted my rating on amenities. Overall very good choice if visiting Virginia Tech.

Mountain Lake Lodge
Fantastic place- it’s just beautiful. Very clean, super comfy beds and great staff. We happened to be there during the recent snow storm. Staff was amazing! They went above and beyond to scrape our car the next morning. Would love to visit again in summer for all of their activities.
