    Pros +

    • The location
    • It was very charming.
    • All one level; close to downtown; quiet; staff was friendly and helpful.

    Cons -

    • They advertise continental breakfast. We had a hard time finding a place that served breakfast. Ended up at a Mexican restaurant the next morning. There was no one at the desk when we arrived. Our key was in a mailbox by the reception outside door.
    • The room did not have a operating TV. Are check in was a little later in the day therefore, it was hard to get staff in order to repair.
    • Mini-fridge and microwave oven need to be upgraded; should be larger and located on a lower surface for short people like us. Would prefer regular coffeemaker over keurig.

    I¿m allergic to Dogs and it was Dog hair on the mat outside of the room being walked inside and my allergies were terrible the entire stay. Maybe certain rooms should be non pet rooms. We definitely mentioned it to staff on the phone prior to arriving.

    Loved this little motel. Room was clean and comfortable. No contact with staff due to COVID but plenty of towels & linens left in the room. Just a walk to Main St, Blowing Rock Brewery, shops, & restaurants. Would definitely go back.

    Outside not kept up well.. light broken and dangling outside room. No real continental breakfast other than a bowl of bananas and yougurts on a Sunday morning. Beds uncomfortable

    6Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 8-21-2019

    No stairs to climb. Older but nice & clean. Good water pressure in shower.

    Bathroom sink was very slow to drain. I was only able to get one tv station and the max volume on the tv was so low I could only hear it if I got next to it

    Location, quietness,comfortable beds,

    9Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 5-18-2016

    Nice room

    Clerk computer had airline blocked thus unable to print boarding pass. TV in room was tiny.

    8RyanPosted on: 9-8-2015

    Fantastic location, friendly staff, and a clean room.

    Toilet and the show drain was slow. Nitpicking here.

    7Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 2-11-2015

    Outdated, bathtub and sink were not working properly!

    8KathyPosted on: 7-21-2024

    It would be nice to have cups usable in the microwave in order to make hot tea.

    9JamiePosted on: 7-7-2024

    Staff was great. Location.

    Dated. Needs updated .

    10Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 12-30-2021

    Everything was great. We¿d probably stay here again if possible.

    Nothing comes to mind, but we were only there for one night.

    10HeatherPosted on: 3-11-2018

    It was cozy and adorable; great location

    10AngelPosted on: 11-7-2018

    They went above and beyond to meet my needs. A definite 10+!!

    Not at all.

    5DouglasPosted on: 1-22-2026

    It was a lot of money for having a small room with very old furniture.

    10MikePosted on: 1-19-2026

    Very close to everything.Felt very safe.Enjoyed the stay.

    We paid $45 dollars for breakfast somewhere else and would have been nice had we known the hotel had breakfast on site.No one told us!!

    4EstherPosted on: 12-31-2025

    The beds and bedding were great.

    We didn't realize until the 2nd day that we didn't have cell service except if we stood around the door in rm 104. Also got locked out the first night and it took 20 minutes for someone to let us in while we waited outside freezing. The phones didn't work in 104 or 105. Hated the cold floors and our feet were filthy from walking on them.

    9CarlaPosted on: 12-15-2025

    We love the location with the close proximity to shops & resturants. Staff was very friendly.

    It was very tricky to get the temperature in the room regulated. Even on a very cold night with freezing trmps outside, when set on 63 & it got unbearably hot. (I'm cold natured). Bumping it down just one degree got really cold. I wouldn't even mention this, except last year, our room never warmed up our qhole stay...and it was the nice suite that even had a fireplace.
