Very ordinary motel like rooms at a premium price. Not worth it. Plus, when my wife went to the office to get a light weight blanket - we don’t need a big heavy down quilt in the south in the summer - the clerk said he had none. Only after I went back to complain did he bother to actually look. And he found one.

Warm, friendly, easy check in. Parked car directly outside of room door. Room was clean & comfortable. Everything in great working order. Good shower with nice fluffy towels.

Our trip to Blowing Rock was work related. We came in for a one night stay involving two rooms. The greeting at the front desk was warm and welcoming with Sam. We found our rooms to be very clean, cosy and comfortable. We walked to diner and back and appreciated the convienence of this neighborhood hotel Great place to stay when in Blowing Rock

I loved staying at Hillwinds Inn. The location was perfect for access to downtown shopping and eateries and easy access to highway. I did not expect everything to be so clean as the property has been at this location for quite a number of years, but the room and property were well cared for. When I checked in, the clerk told me that the best place for breakfast was the Hellbender, less than a block down the street. They had homemade biscuit sandwiches that were worth the trip! I stayed for 4 days and had a wonderfully relaxing time.

Clean but outdated

Hillwinds Inn was in a very convenient location right in the middle of all the action on Main Street, perhaps a 5 minute walk only. The staff was very friendly and courteous. However, the room itself, which clean, was very outdated - everything seems very old and when we entered had a stale smell - I guess just old furniture. In any event, it did the job for a night's stay.

We arrived right after 8 pm had to park a truck and trailer on the street since there was no parking a trailer in the hotel parking lot. We received a call from the office while trying to park and were told that they were closing and could not wait five minutes for us to check in. They left an envelope with the key in the drop box. We had no problems with our room but it would have been nice to to be welcomed; 8 pm seem pretty early to close on a Saturday night. The beds were pretty soft, and the curtain was torn from the rings on once side so we could not close it completely. But we were only there one night and it served our purpose.

Very nice property. A bit old but everything around this area is the same. Very clean though! Restaurants are a walking distance so it's very convenient. Easy to park in front of your room.

we have been coming to Hillwinds for over 30 years and we are never disappointed. It's one of the cleanest motels ever stayed in anywhere. It is not the Ritz Carlton nor is it meant to be. Is quaint and centered right near the center of Blowing Rock which is one of our places to go on our excursions from Charleston. Highly recommended it. 👩‍🍳👍

Fantastic location in downtown Blowing Rock...couldn't be better. The exteriors are quaint and fit in with the neighborhood. Inside, though, it's just tired and desperately needs a facelift...bearable for one night.

In great need of updating . The mattress was very worn and the window air conditioner was loud and had a musty smell. We will not be back and can find updated accommodations in the same price range ( which was not cheap) in nearby competitive lodging.
