10/10 Excellent
"This was the cleanest hotel we have ever stayed at, especially the bathroom. It was also quiet, the beds were very comfortable. A small unique feature that I appreciated was that there was a black washcloth available for removing makeup. The room also had great lighting. The only thing that could have been better was if the fridge was bigger. Other than that, we were very impressed with it and pleased."

"We really enjoyed our recent stay at The Blowing Rock Inn! The property was clean, cute, and had a charming 1950s motor lodge vibe. The rooms were modern, spotless, and comfortable, and the beds were especially cozy. Enjoyed sitting on the porch area outside out room in the evening, watching the sun set. We would definitely stay here again!"

"The property was beautiful and decently maintained from what I could tell. We had a cobweb on our door we had to clear to enter our room. The toilet seat was held on with one bolt and is an accident waiting to happen. We used some electrical tape to keep it in place. The sink had toothpaste in it. The door code proces worked great. I didn't have to wait and complete paperwork to check in. We were not there long enough to really check out anything."

"We had a very enjoyable stay. The room was very nice. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. The restaurant not yet being associated with the hotel was a little annoying. We could not charge to our room nor get room service. The property itself is very pleasant and the walking trail around the lake is nice."
