This is a great hotel with clean and comfortable rooms. The rooms were recently remodeled. The person at the front desk told us the remodel was done about 6 months ago. The only change I would make to the remodel is the toilet. The lid is against a shelf which is restricting. The bed was firm and the hotel provides... More

This hotel is very nice. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the breakfast was excellent. The staff was polite and helpful. We were located close to the downtown area yet within a few miles of The Blowing Rock. The only negative things we experienced was pillows. While the hotel tries hard to give you a choice of pillows, I... More

Good: TV, pool, breakfast, clean, very quiet rooms/halls. Bad: room ac didn't work well. clicked on and off all night. Ugly: Bathroom remodel poorly done. Shelf encroaches toilet so that lid cannot stay up.

Housekeeping staff here are excellent and very helpful. This is a nice place to stay if you don't want to stay in one of the more cutesy places in Blowing Rock. Much better breakfast and longer hours than some of the smaller motels in town that offer so-called continental breakfasts -- also bigger rooms. HIE is not cheap though on... More

A good value in a beautiful village. When it is HOT in the South it is 20 degrees cooler in the mountains. Blowing Rock is one of the best spots in the U. S. of A. and the Holiday Inn Express met all our needs.

I chose this hotel for its central location to several mountain attractions. After a day of hiking and sightseeing, it was nice to return in the evening to a cool, relaxing room. Breakfast was plentiful and good. The friendly, helpful staff were a plus.

I, my wife and three year old daughter stayed at this hotel for a couple nights on a little getaway to the mountains. We didn't have any complaints during our stay. The rooms were clean and spacious. My daughter really enjoyed the indoor swimming pool. The free breakfast consisted of eggs, sausage, bacon, cereal, muffins, etc. The location was right... More

We stayed on our way through NC to the coast. We stayed 2 nights and the hotel was beautiful! It was clean, well maintained inside and out! We were upgraded to a suite that was perfect. It was quiet and the beds were very comfortable. The breakfast was delicious and the service exceptional. Grandfather Mountain is minutes away and absolutely... More

This motel may have better experiences for some but the room was musty, dank and smelled of tobacco...door did not lock because it was misaligned. Shower was good. Allergy suffers beware, proceed with your epi-pen only..

Guest, I wanted to respond to your comment about our hotel. I understand that the guest room that you stayed in smelled of smoke and was musty. Thanks to comments like yours we were able to determine that our bathroom vents were not working properly. We have recently replaced the bathrooms vents and this has fixed our problem. Thanks again... More
