Hillwinds Inn - Blowing Rock

We have stayed at Hillwinds Inn several times in the past and were pleased. However, on this trip we discovered they no longer offer the services that made them stand out. They no longer offer a continental breakfast and afternoon snacks in their lovely reception area. Now that area sits empty. Landscaping also no longer stacks up against their competition. Also, they had an old rusted out truck parked in front of our room which made it challenging entering and exiting our parking spot which obviously belonged to management. We checked in on a Thursday and asked if they also had a vacancy for Friday night. They did, but double the rate (literally, from $152 to $299) which was my bad for not checking out the property before booking the extra night. To be fair, the room was clean, and the beds were comfortable. However, the things that made them unique are gone. Hopefully, their cost cutting initiatives have paid dividends because they are not going to generate future revenue from us!

Nothing

Pictures shown at booking are very different to the real rooms, very old….

Location was great and room was nice. Best cup of coffee I’ve had in a month of traveling and the heat worked very well. Would absolutely stay again.

Only small critique is that no one was at desk late am when I checked out and I had a question.

Quiet. Rooms had a mini refrigerator.

Far too soft mattresses. Hot water in the tub was influenced by other rooms- the water could and did suddenly become very hot. Tub was very slippery and no rubber mats were available. Cable tv was horrible. Cigarette urns outside room doors were never cleaned out during a 5 day stay. No replacement towel service.

Close to town and clean comfortable room with a very nice bathroom.

Everything was goid
