Suite above the office was a romantic chic style with an oversized jacuzzi tub and a balcony. Comfortable bed just keep the door open between the rooms for optimal climate control. Front desk was helpful with 12pm checkout. Definitely would stay again!

The room was not adequately cleaned. There were dirty towels in the bathroom and personal hygiene items under the beds. We stayed 2 nights and on the second morning there was no hot water. The beds were clean and comfortable. A pleasant walk to Main Street of Blowing Rock.

The end is very close to all of the main attractions in town, and there is ample parking. It is right on the creek, which is beautiful. However the property is so outdated. Both beds in the rooms had very visible people dance, so I had to choose which of the two had, the lesser dents.

Very ordinary motel like rooms at a premium price. Not worth it. Plus, when my wife went to the office to get a light weight blanket - we don’t need a big heavy down quilt in the south in the summer - the clerk said he had none. Only after I went back to complain did he bother to actually look. And he found one.
