Definitely stay!
We only spent one night at the Hillwinds Inn, but we were impressed. We'll be back for sure. The rooms were and comfortable (cleaner than some very high-end hotel chains quite honestly). The beds were comfortable (pillows were too soft for me personally, but my family loved them). Walking distance to many shops and restaurants and Door Dash even delivers if the local flare is not to your style. The water pressure in the bathroom was great except for the shower, but it woke us up just fine.

1. Check in - the check in time posted on the website cited 3pm as check in. I arrived at 5:30pm and was informed that my room was not ready. I was not communicated with in advance that there would be a delay in check in and the staff offered no apology or means of making the situation right. We were also told that the room would be ready in 1 hr and that we would receive a call. An hour and fifteen minutes later, we had not received a call and walked back to check as we were anxious that the issue wouldn’t be resolved prior to the office closing at 8pm. We arrived to find the receptionist on her phone and still had to wait a few more minutes to get in to our room. Again, no apologies that we were not allowed in our room until almost 7pm and our dinner plans ruined. 2. No hot water - the next morning, we awoke to no hot water in our room. We tried the sink and the shower and let the tap run for 10 minutes to give ample time to heat up. I called the property to report the issue. After waiting an hour for help, I walked to reception to ask for help but it was closed. No one ever came to fix the issue, we had no hot water for two days & no apology. 3. Unacceptable room condition: pilling bed linens, damaged curtains, dirty towels, broken phone, etc. Also, housekeeping didn’t come for 2 days. 4. I emailed management to share my experience and did not receive a reply for two days. Upon calling, staff refused to refund my money and to allow me to speak to upper management.

A perfect cozy and quaint room. We stayed in the tarheel suite for the second time and it’s our favorite place to stay in the Blowing Rock area!
