a lot for the money.
The design of the buildings shows an earlier time. However the grounds, outside and interior are all first class and up to date. The bed was very comfortable. There were two sitting chairs and one desk chair. All very comfortable. Probably best motel shower I have experienced in a while. Location could not be better as you could walk the entire area of Blowing Rock.

Awesome Stay.. Easy walk to Downtown
This place was Awesome! Very clean and we could easily walk to downtown. Everyone was very friendly. Our first time to Blowing Rock and hopefully many more! The scenery is breathtaking! The town of Blowing rock is beautiful! .❤️ We went to Blowing Rock to escape the heat here in Tennessee. It was around 78 degrees compared to 98 degrees here. I would definitely recommend this motel and Blowing Rock! Is a wonderful town with many great restaurants and shops.

Nice little motel
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.

We Will Be Back
The four-day stay was enjoyable and the location was great for Blowing Rock activities. Unit 222 was enjoyable being off the road and listening to the birds. Our phone identified nine different birds Sunday afternoon.
Suggestions:
More towel holders
Clothes hangers needed
A screendoor would be enjoyable

Clean room but air condition barely worked, blow dryer dead, coffee Keurig dispensed half of water on desk every use. For $250 a night definitely not worth it, invest and do better

Overpriced and not comfortable at all.
The internet was out as was the TV. There was only decaf coffee or flavored coffee. Check in was not at the hotel but at another hotel and it was pouring rain. The mattress was awful and the place is way overpriced for what it is and they know it.

Nice spot. A little bit of an older motel that could probably use some freshening up on the inside (longer or better black out drapes, windows that open more easily, upgraded towels, but the outside is very cute and seems to have been recently repainted. Bowling Rock is a charming town and this lodging makes walking everywhere a breeze. Recommend and it is perfectly fine.

Great stay! Room was very clean, bed was so comfortable! Easy walk to shops and restaurants. We were very impressed with the accomodations. We had an end unit so the extra window was very nice. I rated 4/5 for condition only because the rug seems to have suffered water damage at some point. Management seems very attentive and I'm sure it will be taken care of. We would definitely stay here again!

We stayed here after reading the reviews of how clean it was. I agree....the room was very clean! Beds were comfortable. We would stay here again! The only thing I would change, is we wished the bathroom had an exhaust fan.
