We enjoyed staying at the Hillwinds Inn in Blowing Rock, NC. Check in was easy and the room was nice and clean. The beds were very comfortable and the location was great, right beside The Famous Toastery. It was a short walk to Main Street. I would recommend Hillwinds Inn!

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
I know it is an older property, but the furniture was very worn. The mattress had rips and tears in it along the sides. The remotes to TV needed new batteries. The coffee maker did not work (didn’t realize until morning we were going to leave). The mini refrigerator made an annoying noise. We addressed some of our concerns to the front desk person when checking out and he offered no apologies. I would not recommend staying here.

We enjoyed our stay. Our room was very spacious with a full kitchen, large bathroom with jet tub and 2 nozzle shower and a separate bedroom with a small fireplace. It was quiet and centrally located to downtown and within walking distance to many shops and restaurants. We would definitely stay there again.

Went there for my wife's birthday. The young man at the check in desk was very rude and condescending to my wife. The woman that replaced him later on was very nice. The place was ok but the bed mattresses were really mushy and sunk in, I guess from age. Go there again - most likely Not!!

The Inn is in serious need of updating. The outside and inside need cleaning and painting. The staff was friendly but because there are no amenities they just do office related things. Positives- parking is right in front of your room and the Inn is close to Main Street.

The bath tub plug was full of mold/mildew. Bathroom grouting mold/mildew. Not worth the extra money for balcony, which simply faces lower rooms. The balcony floor is steel grating. Easy parking and good location. Check in was easy.

The price was high for not being more updated and because it needs a good cleaning. Otherwise it was ok. Don’t use Expedia for reservations, it has false advertising of the place.

Our stay was pleasurable. The Davidson Suite was very nice. The onlybproblem we encountered was many of the electrical outlets were not usable, especially in the kitchen area. Other than that we were very pleased with our accommodations.

The location is great, being within walking distance of center of Blowing Rock. Parking is convenient being right in front of room. Room was clean and consistent with prior stays over the years. Only thing that should be improved is better quality toilet paper. The single ply is not in keeping with the overall positive expeir.
