The Spotlight on Relax Inn By OYO Natural Bridge I-81

Scenic Simplicity Close to the Music

Relax Inn in Natural Bridge offers a no-fuss, peaceful atmosphere just minutes from the stunning Natural Bridge of Virginia and a short drive to Lexington’s concert venues. Set against a beautiful natural backdrop, this 3-star stay brings you essential comfort with garden views, air-conditioned rooms, and reliable free WiFi—all at a price that keeps your concert budget intact.

Whether you're catching a show at Washington and Lee University or exploring nearby music events, this quiet, countryside location is a great place to unwind after the encore.

Why Concert-goers love it

With top local venues just 10–15 miles away, Relax Inn puts you close to the action without the noise. It’s a solid pick if you’re driving to a show and want a more serene setting to return to. The 24-hour front desk is a plus for late-night arrivals, and the easy check-in from 3:00 PM gives you time to settle in before things kick off. Checkout at 11:00 AM lets you sleep off the night—no rush.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends road-tripping to a concert and looking to save on lodging
  • Solo travelers attending bucket-list shows nearby
  • Couples pairing a concert with a scenic weekend escape
  • Fans seeking quiet recovery after a loud night of live music
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want value and comfort

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, the surrounding area offers several local diners and fast-food spots within a short drive. It’s best to grab a bite before heading back for the night, but rooms come equipped with the basics for a late snack. There’s no 24/7 room service, so plan accordingly if you're out past midnight.

Nightlife Options

This hotel is all about the quiet life, so don’t expect on-site bars or live tunes. That said, you’re a short drive from Lexington’s craft breweries and laid-back taverns—ideal for a pre-show drink or a toast after the encore.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the clean rooms, peaceful setting, and friendly staff. The affordability and proximity to Natural Bridge and Lexington make it a convenient home base for exploring or concert-going. Many note that it’s a solid value for a simple stay in a beautiful area.

Areas for Improvement

This isn’t a luxury spot—don’t expect fancy amenities or nightlife buzz. Some guests mention that the decor is a bit dated and that you’ll need a car to get to most places. But if you’re here for the music and the views, it hits the right notes.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers who want a quiet, affordable place to crash after the show, Relax Inn in Natural Bridge is a scenic and sensible choice.

Disgusting

Liked: The staff was friendly
Disliked: It was so filthy we didn't stay. I'm supposed to get a refund since we stayed 5 minutes. As soon as we got to the room we knew we couldn't stay.

I'd come back. Just hope...

Liked: Great location for me, staff was very nice .. it is basically what it is as advertised. Not gonna be a luxury stay .
Disliked: For the most part the property and room were nice enough. For the the price . The only issue appeared to be the bathroom wasn't actually cleaned. And it was 100 degrees in the room with ok a/c on at all. The bathroom , while I may have been cleaned at some point. Wasn't. I purchased bathroom cleaner with bleach while out . Sprayed it down and it came clean from mold and mildew with into a few minutes. The wall & ceiling( in a non smoking room) looked like it had never been even whipped with a good amount of tar stains and some mold issue where the paint was bubbling but there was a hole in the wall.... I have cleaned those for decades, both parents smoked ... and I cleaned that crud of the walls and ceiling a lot. That is the only real issue. Staff was very nice, location... no a bad stay , just needs some tlc and better cleaning.

Liked: No restaurant/food available onsite. Property had been renovated within past year or so to include wall and trim re-paint; new TV, refrigerator, air conditioner.
Disliked: Could not locate/install TV access card. TV would not operate. Most handles/fittings were coated in old, chipped paint. Many corners/edges not well cleaned/painted.
