Toilet runs every 5 min; need to replace plunger in tank as it constantly refills loudly 24/7. The fridge also runs very loudly; something wrong with it. Update thermostat it is 39 years old and hard to see and hold right temp.
The property is "old" and dated. The sinks in the bathroom do not drain properly. The room was not clean. The lighting is bad. I do not recommend staying at this property.
Room was not ready at check in. I had arrived at 3:30. The employee said it should be any minute and he would call me. We left the property ~ came back at 4:45 (and he had no clue who I was). I reminded him that I was expecting a call when my room was ready. His reply was it must have just gotten done. Not okay. No apology. It was cold and we were wandering around the town (had a dog so couldn’t go in to stores or restaurants).
What a sweet, cozy place to stay! Our weekend visiting App State was filled with windy snowy nights made lovelier by the warm ness of the room. Walkable to eat, drink and shop! Highly recommend!

Great place to stay, clean and cozy, highly recommended.
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!
Everything was very clean ,nice and quiet. Staff were helpful

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
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 However the property is so outdated.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.
