Suite above the office was a romantic chic style with an oversized jacuzzi tub and a balcony. Comfortable bed just keep the door open between the rooms for optimal climate control. Front desk was helpful with 12pm checkout. Definitely would stay again!

The room was not adequately cleaned. There were dirty towels in the bathroom and personal hygiene items under the beds. We stayed 2 nights and on the second morning there was no hot water. The beds were clean and comfortable. A pleasant walk to Main Street of Blowing Rock.

The end is very close to all of the main attractions in town, and there is ample parking. It is right on the creek, which is beautiful. However the property is so outdated. Both beds in the rooms had very visible people dance, so I had to choose which of the two had, the lesser dents.

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.

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Clean but outdated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 However, the room itself, which clean, was very outdated - everything seems very old and when we entered had a stale smell - I guess just old furniture.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.

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.
