Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Only issue we had was the air conditioner is at the.head of the bed and blows directly on you which is extremely uncomfortable for the person sleeping in the bed next to the air conditioner.

Was about to leave my house, chk in is at 3:00. Got a cancellation call bcse of a water issue. Needed to make a last minute reservation at La Quinta. Best thing that happened to us, La Quinta was less expensive, closer to the venue and had a no hassle chk in all with a direct interaction with the hotel. No middle man needed, Ill be doing that from now on.
The hotel did not honor the reservation as there was a water issue on the site. I am contacting my credit card company to contest the charges as Expedia does not make it easy to get a refund.

They canceled my reservation because the property had no water
Ou room wasn’t thoroughly cleaned before check in. We found a shirt in the armoire, a pizza box in the microwave and snacks in the dresser drawers. So gross.
Blowing Rock is a cool place. Staff was very friendly. Place was a clean HIE, so if you have been to a good one, you should know what to expect. Recommend this place, would stay again.
