BRI is a charming little "old fashioned" motel. They allowed us to check in a little before 3:00 which was super nice. The location cannot be beat! The only thing that prevented me from giving 5 stars overall is the HVAC was LOUD and woke me up continually in the night.

Our room was very clean and comfortable. Had a Kuerig type coffe maker, small fridge and microwave. Enjoyed sitting outside our room in provided chairs with table. Would definitely stay at Blowing Rock Inn next time in town.

The location is great & vintage aspect is cool. Staff was very helpful, when I finally found someone, as nobody was onsite for anything- had to go offsite to check in.
Carpet was so disgusting, I never went without shoes & front door didn't shut properly, leaving big gaps & had no deadbolt or other lock. Other cleanliness in room was good & bed was comfy.
