Amazing historic hotel close to quaint funky town
This was our 4th stay at The Blackburn Inn and Conference Centre in Staunton, VA. We always make it a point to stay at this property when traveling on I-81 down South. Just walking about the front steps is very impressive and the rich history becomes palpable. The property grounds are beautiful. The hotel is steps away from restaurants, antique stores and shopping in the quaint and funky historic district of Staunton. The hotel staff is very kind and friendly and eager to make your stay super enjoyable. The rooms and colour schemes are beautiful, serene and calming with modern amenities. We loved the rain shower. The interior of the hotel shows its rich history with many of the original features left intact. The spiral staircase to the cupola is especially impressive. We loved the walking distance to town. Overall, this is a very unique and amazing property and we will continue to come here whenever possible. Highly recommended.

The stay was wonderful. Good, friendly service. The only thing that would have made the stay better was if there had been at least 4 towels and wash clothes in the bathroom.

Amazing historic hotel close to downtown Staunton
This is a one-of-a-kind historic beautiful hotel. We have stayed there before and made sure that we could stay again on our route down South. Just coming up the main driveway is hugely impressive and you see the splendour of this property, especially when illuminated at night. The staff at check-in was very friendly, personable and helpful and made us feel welcome. The room was clean, spacious and well appointed. The location is great, within a short walk to historic and quaint downtown Staunton with its beautiful shops and plenty of restaurants. All staff we talked to was super nice. It was quiet and relaxing. The architecture is nothing short of amazing, just look at the spiral staircase. We would definitely stay there again. Highly recommended and very special experience.

Switch Not Courtesy - Comes With Cost
We booked through Hotels.com and upon arrival realized we had been booked in a handicap room with a very sad shower. As we went to check on a reservation for later they ask about our room and ask if we would like to switch rooms. We said that would be great. We were charged $33 more for a much..much smaller room. We had to turn sideways to pass in the hall between the coffee pot and the bathroom. We were not happy as they were not full.

Surprise view 😉
We were in awe when we first pulled up. The front desk personnel were so nice. The room was cozy and clean. We were not a fan of the creaky hardwood floors, but not a deal breaker. But you must climb the spiral staircase and go out on the observatory. Breath taking☺️

We love staying here! The rooms are a nice size, check in is easy, and we love that it’s dog friendly. It’s the perfect spot to spend a little Staunton getaway! The pillows aren’t my favorite-a little small and soft, but everything else is great. They still give you a little lotion, shower cap and q tips in the bathroom which is nice, and the bathrooms are big and bright. We’ve stayed here twice and we’ll be back!

Room was small but wonderful. Only complaint is that the carpet rug was filthy. I let the front desk know and they apologized.

The historical distinction of this Jeffersonian inspired property is a great story...an early american psychiatric care facility known as Western State Institute, later a medium security prison and now a classic americana hotel with impressive grounds, roof top cupola with spiral stair, comfortable bedding and helpful staff. But minimal toiletries (water glass/towels), no in-room bottled water or daily maid service, and surprisingly squeaky wooden floors detracted from the overall experience.
