This is the only one that I can remember having cheese and charcuterie boards set out in the evening. I don't know if it was something they normally do on Friday nights or it was because this weekend there was a get to know the parents night at the local college along with some big game, but it was pretty spiffy nonetheless. You know what wasn't spiffy? The pricing. I get that on nights when there are important games or whatever that the price is going to go up n hotel rooms, but ... (whistles softly).

The Courtyard by Marriott in Boone was my anchor after my day in Ashe County and the next day in…read moreAlleghany County. So I was not in the hotel much, as I was off exploring the region. Having read some reviews prior to my stay, I knew to ask for a room on the backside of the hotel because of Highway 105 traffic. Although I am not sure how bad that would have been. But the hotel did honor my request and put me on the top floor. So I did have a peaceful stay to rest up. The exercise room, pool and laundry room were clean. Behind the hotel were some trees and a retaining wall. The front desk staff was helpful, especially Chris, with helping me navigate the traffic in Boone. He even seemed interested in the NC Musicians Mural Trail. The hotel has one elevator, and it is slow, so be prepared to wait. There was a chair in the hallway to sit while waiting. They really need another one for the size of the hotel. The location wasn't the easiest to get in and out of either, and it seemed dangerous to make a left from the parking lot. As nice as the hotel and staff were, I'd likely stay elsewhere next time because of the location and the slow elevator.

I had driven through Boone several times without stopping to stay the night before I found a reason…read morehere. Apparently everyone else does the same thing, because this hotel is on what is apparently the main road traversing the region, and the traffic noise was terrible, which is not what I thought was going to happen in Boone NC. The room was functional and I had no difficulty getting late checkout. The internet was functional for telework and I even found work space outside my room when I had to check out. Breakfast is not included, but I had no difficulty finding quality options in the town. I wonder if the road noise would be less with a room facing away from the street, but I'm not sure if that would be the case. Maybe the surrounding mountains create a bowl that reflects all the sound back in. If I had some real quality method of reducing the noise, I'd have liked the hotel more.

I would define it as "Sophisticated Simplicity". I was staying here for a personal getaway and was assigned to a beautiful room with a separate sitting room, a gorgeous bathroom, and a zen bedroom. The decor was lovely, stylish and tasteful. The staff was professional and helpful. It was quiet and relaxing and only a short walk away from the town center, perfect location! There is a pretty little creek that winds along the back garden area, I really enjoyed sitting out and watching the ducks. I am torn between keeping this little gem all to myself, and sharing its amazingness with the world! I can't wait to come back.

I left the following message via email and text as there was no attendant present and have never…read moreheard back. Management, Please know that we have chosen to depart early from the Cousin Sarah suite. While we appreciate historical sites and consider ourselves history buffs, this suite is unacceptable. I have attached a few photos of areas needing attention but the most notable was the bed. My husband and I could not stay another night on this mattress. It has no center support and we kept rolling towards the center all night. Additionally it is too soft. Perhaps firmness is of personal preference, however, it truly is past its useful life. It felt as if there was a piece of foam laid over the mattress in order to extend its life. In regard to the photos, a deep cleaning is in order, attention to detail as well as fresh paint and we would happily pay more in order to stay at such a North Carolina landmark. We appreciate your understanding and wish you and your business all the best.

Had an excellent experience from top to bottom on a quick weekend getaway to Blowing Rock…read more Parking was a breeze in the hotel parking lot, and the service was very friendly when we entered. This is a very new addition to Blowing Rock, built in 2024. And it shows, the place is spotless, modern and bright. The lobby has an amazing lounge and bar area with a full service fine dining style restaurant. Everything about is sleek and modern. We enjoyed an amazing evening at the bar and restaurant (separate review). Our room was immaculate, and again a very modern and sleek style. Beds and pillows were very comfortable, not a single complaint about the room or the cleanliness. And the views facing downtown Blowing Rock from the patio with the mountains in the background was superb. We enjoyed morning coffees and afternoon happy hours on this comfy patio overlooking the heart of Main St in downtown Blowing Rock. A pleasant surprise was the continental style breakfast which is included with the stay. A kicked up version with better food from what you'd expect at a Hampton Inn or comparable hotel. Highly recommend for a great stay in the heart of Blowing Rock!

Room rates clearly reflect the premium location, but are not as bad as you might expect. But there is also the less good news: the rooms (judging by our "standard king") are smallish (not European hotel small, but getting close...), and a bit inconvenient (our closet was awkward to get into). Ice can only be sourced from the front desk and the bar/dining area can be noisy. And as for noise, there were hotel mechanicals (we were told it was an exhaust fan from the kitchen 3 stories below) clearly and somewhat unpleasantly audible in our room. We were told that this was being worked on, but it seems to me that The Embers has been open long enough to have had this resolved by now. So net...a very good and convenient place stay, but don't expect it to be without some minor annoyances.

The Breakfast in the morning was good something satisfying to eat for Just about everyone. This is where it get's bad. Our first Night I was cold. I couldn't set the unit because it read E5. So I called and asked for help. I was put on hold and forgotten about. I called again and finally got someone to come up to fix it, done in 1 minute. The worst part, we found that our door NEVER LOCKED. That's right we went out to eat and leaving our valuables as well as sleeping in an unlocked room. When I called the front desk to complain, "the maintenance man will be here in half an hour. " I, I call back an hour later wondering what is happening. "The maintenance man didn't come in. My manager said we will have to move you." What I want to know, is when was the front desk going to inform me?

But I'm so glad we didn't make our first visit here in the winter. We would have never gotten up to the condo with how steep the roads were. Our condo was clean and well equipped but we won't return because it wasn't convenient to anything we enjoy doing. Also, as a Verizon customer we had no internet. That was unnerving. I think if you plan on cooking, have a 4x4 vehicle, and don't want to do much other than cook and enjoy the views in your condo, this is a great choice. But we are active with our kids and it was a chore to get on and off the property.

We chose this place due to the reviews and the lovely pics of the inside and of the view. Now I…read moreknow why the outside pictures didn't show much -- the roadway to the facility was treacherous. It is definitely not for anyone apprehensive of heights. The road to the complex is extremely narrow that makes me question if an emergency vehicle or fire truck could navigate it. In addition to it being narrow, it is a windy road on a cliff with no guard rails. I had a panic attack on the drive up; thankfully, I wasn't the driver. When we turned to road with the gated entrance, it was gravel, overgrown, and we couldn't even see past the gate. And this was at 5:30pm with full daylight. I was so panicked that my husband thought I was going to have a heart attack. We immediately turned around & made our way back down the horrid road, riding the brake the entire time & with a vehicle right on our bumper who apparently wasn't as upset as we were. Thank goodness no vehicle came in the opposite direction. I do feel there should have been some hint as to this "feature" of the facility. If I had known of this, there is no way I would have chosen this place for our well-deserved restful weekend. We ended up going back home & lost our money.
