Did not like the suite as it was sparse, dank and located behind the main building almost like two small cabins with a common walkway off a gravel driveway. The manager was very gracious, we discussed our options and she showed us another room that we took. It was adequate but with a very noisy heater. Location was good ! One issue was that for the suite there was only one picture shown for this room and it focused only on the bed. It didn’t reflect the baroness of that room. We did find out that the property was recently sold and they are in the process renovating the property.

The room was okay and clean. But for the money we paid it wasn't as good as I expected. The sheets were well worn and not soft. The maid came in without knocking first. The pillows were not comfortable. The bathtub would not stop up and I couldn't take a bath. The checkin and out was good. The TV was excellent.

We had a great stay. We spent a day snow tubing and this hotel was the perfect spot. Close to dining and small shops were within walking distance.

I was a little disappointed in my stay here. The location is cute and the outside is very well kept, but my room was in poor shape. I went up to the area to try and stimulate the economy after the hurricane and so I am giving this property, some grace, however, the issues I had with my room were clearly ones that preceded Helene. The biggest issue I had was the carpet. I don’t have any other word but gross. There was clearly long-term wear to the point that it was rippled and very dirty. I had to call for an additional roll of toilet paper because all I had was an almost empty roll and no spare. The heater was efficient, but located underneath a window with a very long curtain and so when you turn it on the heat goes under the curtain and not in the room. It would’ve been nice if the hotel had provided away to secure the curtain since I was there in the winter and it was quite chilly. Having said that, the bed was comfortable and it was nice to have a TV that allowed me to log into my own streaming services with the security of knowing it was gonna log me out when I checked out. Additionally, the location is lovely. I was able to walk a short, walk up the hill and be downtown to experience the restaurants and shops.

Blowing Rock is a pretty little mountain town. The property is a converted motel and is well kept. The people working there are friendly and helpful. The apartment that i stayed in had multiple rooms with a different heater in each. If you are skiing at Sugar Mountain, the shortest route requires AWD however it isn't too much longer to go back through Boone and stay on main roads. Blowing Rock has restaurants and Boone has more restaurants and grocery stores. Overall this was a great find and a great value. I would go there again.

nice roadside motel

we were at this motel during a freezing cold snap in NoCarolina; it would have been nice to have a fireplace but the heat in the room was OK. the location of this motel is excellent with walking distance to town (in a warmer time of year). Coffee and fridge in the room were much appreciated

Perfect location, cute and comfy room!

Great location and super cute property! Comfy room and seating areas with fire outs on the property and sister property across the street. Walking distance to everything! We had a rainy day and appreciated that the TV was streaming capable. Would definitely stay here again!
