Room was clean. Nice coffee and cocoa available. Breakfast was standard. Good selection of items. Adequate seating. They ran out of sausage. Check in was a wait when there was two registers and three people chatting. When it was my turn, it was fast and efficient. I would recommend you stay here.

The breakfast buffet was good and the food substantial. Omelets, potatoes, sausage, pancakes and muffins,etc. The bed was too soft and marshmallow like especially in the middle. Could have used another blanket but the heat and air worked well and was fairly quiet. Enjoyed the access to coffee, tea and hot chocolate 24/7.

This hotel was located in a good position for me to be able to walk to near by restaurants. The only thing that upset me was the toilet didn’t want to flush right. The mattress was wonderful and helped my back not to hurt so much.

Room was nice and quiet. We had handicapped walk in shower with seat and hand held sprayer. My husband wanted to take the shower home with us--excellent water pressure and hot water. Bed was comfortable. We slept great. We specifically requested a hotel with pool. Well, it has a pool but not a drop of water in it! We were informed it was out of service all summer. Very disappointed! Go elsewhere if you want a pool.

I got a room for my wife and me for a good rate for 2 nights. Convenient location to Main Street Blowing Rock. The complimentary free breakfast was above average compared to other hotels - not great, but good enough. Majority of the staff were friendly and helpful. Our room’s bathroom drain needs some work. It drained too slow. I brought it to the attention of the lady at the front desk but told her that since we were only there for 2 nights that it didn’t need to be addressed immediately. Just wanted them to know for future reference. However, this issue could not have just occurred and hotel management should have already resolved this.
