Default I need your help. We are coming for a short visit and thinking of staying at corporate suites...

There are 3 locations to choose from. Can you tell me which is in the safest, nicest area and which is closest to downtown: Florist Rd or Lanford St or Overland Dr. Much appreciated

Default Extended Stay

The Lanford Street location is off I-581 which will make it easy to get downtown. I believe it is where the Extended Stay Hotel is located. I have had friends who have stayed there and found it to be the most convenient to Valley View Mall, restaurants and downtown.
The Overland Drive area is in a more affluent area but I don't think it is as easy to find for a visitor nor is it as convenient, in my opinion.
Good Luck!!

Overland Drive location in SW county is the easiest accessible to downtown.
Coming into Roanoke, via I-81 South, exit onto I-581 South, to Rt. 419 exit @ Tanglewood Mall. Turn right off of ramp, onto Rt 419 S, go about 3/4 mi to Left onto Starkey Rd. - suites on left approx 1/2 mile @ Overland Dr.

Easy to return to downtown area from suites, get back onto I-581 N, go to Elm Ave. exit - left turn (end of ramp) to Jefferson St. - turn right on Jefferson, to Campbel Ave. (rt. turn) - you will be on the Farmer's Market - this time of year - lot's of activity, food etc. Enjoy !!!!

I forgot to mention the Overland location is also easily accessible to Salem via Rt. 419 North

I also made mistake in my previous directions to Overland - @ Tanglewood Mall ramp turn right onto Rt.419 North to Starkey Rd. You can get easy direction from the suites to downtown Salem via Rt. 419 N.
