Thomas, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I am a repeat guest. The Inn was very nice and comfortable. Service was poor. I was asked to upgrade my room to avoid staying next to a barking dog. A complimentary upgrade was not offered.

6/10 Good

Did not have a balcony.. room was clean and had enough towels. Parking was right at the door of the unit, did not see help except around evening when someone was at the desk to help me with the TV.

Nice room with kitchenette. Walking distance of historic downtown.
Michael, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property is old and could use some updating but it was clean. Its a great location to Main Street with easy parking and walkable to shopping and dining. It was pet friendly which is the reason we chose this property. The TV does NOT allow you to stream just FYI.
Tammy, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The location is great walkable to several dining options but very quiet. Bed was nice. Bathroom was dated
Joe, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was a lovely older property that has been upgraded. It was extremely comfortable and the amenities were more than expected. It’s a block or two from Main Street and there are many eateries and boutique shops there. A nice breakfast spot is across the street. The information given out at check in was generally good but gave the wrong location of the ice machine. The only real downside is that we could not figure out how to get the TV to operate properly. There were two remotes but only one seemed to work and that one you couldn’t control the volume or channel selection. The other one which appeared to be a cable box controller didn’t seem to work at all. Maybe they were just too smart for us. But that was pretty minor in the overall experience.
Constance D., 1-night trip

I really had a great stay at the hilltop inn! The bedding and mattress was very comfortable and it was a close walk to many cute shops and restaurants in Bowing Rock.

Great location and very comfortable room.
Lisa, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was nice and clean. It was on the older side but had everything we needed. It was a little challenge getting the heat setting where we like it but overall nicely comfy room and great night in BR.

The property is old and a bit musty. However it was clean with nice beds and tub. Cozy! Reasonably priced!
James, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Cute, clean, quiet, comfortable and had everything we needed. Great location, great price. Would totally stay here again. FYI- it is a motel-type inn where the doors open to the outside, but there are cute rocking chairs right outside the door and it’s in downtown Blowing Rock which is quaint and walkable.
Alicia, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We have stayed at Hillwinds twice in recent weeks and really enjoy it. It is a restored motel convenient to Main Street in Blowing Rock. The staff is vey nice and the location is great. This has become our go-to in Blowing Rock.
Kendal, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Family trip

Good location, clean rooms, the only thing is a little old, but otherwise no complaints, it is quiet and you don't hear any noise, it is a little expensive considering the rooms.
