Very nice place. It's a motel but felt cozy and comfortable. Don't let the motel vibe scare you off. It was perfect lodging for all we needed... Just two days in the mountain.

The location is definitely the best feature of this older property. Management has definitely worked hard to make nice changes to our unit… painted nicely, good linens and mattresses, clean, and an overall cozy place to stay. However, the shower water at 8am was lukewarm; the screen door to our unit is off its hinges and the deadbolt doesn’t work. And, the floors rattle when you walk across them. Despite these issues, it was still a 4/5 stay for us.

the location is wonderful, the refrigerator barely kept anything cold, the air conditioner was ridiculously loud, could barely sleep over the noise. the internet was spotty at best. Worked the first day we checked in but after that nothing!

The positives were that the location was great, walkable to everything and the room was clean. The negatives.. there was NO hot water... It was maybe lukewarm at best. We called about it but it was never fixed before we left and was told they had problems in the past with it. Also the mattresses were hard which made for a not comfortable sleep. Not sure if I would stay here again....

The hot water doesn’t work. The shower is cold. There is nobody here to contact to remedy this. So far we’re not impressed with this place in the least bit.

No hot water, knew there was a problem with enough hot water, but booked anyway. No solution or concern, no willingness or ability to check out early with a refund or to give any sort of credit related to the problem. The hotel clerk hung up on Expedia Customer Service when they called on my behalf to ask for compensation. Expedia representative was very kind and professional. Do not stay at Blowing Rock Inn

Needs updating. Ceiling fan rattling and getting ready to take off, dirty old carpet and broken bathroom fan. No extra toilet paper when we ran out. Move us to azalea inn across the street because of paving parking lot at blowing rock inn so this pertains to the azalea inn room.

The Blowing Rock Motel was very cute and in a good location. We enjoyed being able to walk to nearby businesses. We also enjoyed the gas fire pit that was available.
