Very convenient to walk to shopping and dinning. Hotel needs some updating and the air conditioning was not great in our sleeping area of the suite. I would surely stay again but updates would be great.

Late night check-in was easy. Ground floor rooms so we could park in front of our room. Carpet in our room should be replaced. Mattress was soft. Yet for a late night check-in for 1 night stay it was fine.

We loved our stay at the Hillwinds Inn. It is conveniently located with restaurants close by and a short walk to downtown Blowing Rock shopping and dining. We stayed in a room with a balcony and it was clean and spacious. The fridge, sink and microwave were perfect for our two day stay. The bathroom was updated. The staff was very professional and helpful and the grounds were wonderful. Included parking was a pleasure. They allowed us to bring our dog and what a delight that was.The whole town is so dog friendly. Even when I left something behind in the room when we checked out, I easily and promptly got it returned to me just 2 days later. We will definitely stay here again and I could not recommend staying here more. It was a perfect short trip to get away from the summer heat of Charlotte!

Everything was good except the tub drained so slowly. It needs to be fixed. But the beds and bed linens were very comfy. Excellent location within walking distance to everything in town. And nice that we could bring our dog.

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.
