It’s a bit dated but the room we stayed in was big and had a private balcony with a nice view. Everything was clean and bed was comfortable. The office closed at 5 and we were going to be later than that, so the staff was kind enough to leave our key in an envelope inside a small mailbox on the side of the building. The cost was a bit pricey for this type of hotel and room, but we stayed on a Saturday night and weekend rates are usually higher. Other hotels in Boone and Blowing Rock were more expensive, which is why we chose Cliff Dwellers.

Not even quaint… old motel at 200+a night - no room service or making the beds, no fresh towels, no ambiance and no regular tv service (streaming only) Haven’t stayed in a place like that since the early 60’s… if it hadn’t been for the July 4th weekend I might have found another room, but alas…

The property was older, but the room was clean and quiet. The balcony wasn’t really a balcony. It was just chairs outside the room door. But the scenery was nice and we enjoyed our stay.

Very happy with our stay

Room was nice and spacious, bed was comfortable. Room was very quiet. Balcony was big and spacious and the view was great. The only thing that wasn't great was that the shower ran out of hot water. Check in employee was very friendly.
