Checked in on Friday evening, November 8. Upon entering, greeted by the stench of a moldy wet basement. Room (#238) smells the same and is rundown. Mattresses (flat) and bedding (soiled) were uncomfortable and appear to be originals from 1891. Shower head pipe was coming out of the wall. The "complimentary breakfast" on Saturday, November 9 was to start at 7 but didn't open until 9 am (some guests had been waiting since 7). No apology or explanation - just the sounds of the staff enjoying their own conversations in the kitchen. We gave up and checked out early. Listed in "Historic Hotels of the World" but is not worthy of inclusion. read more

Sadly it's just an old hotel and all the charm is in the lobby. The rooms are so terribly dated. Decades old dated! Cleanliness, and upkeep, are very poor. Save yourself - this historic hotel will be a disappointment for a nights stay. And the complimentary breakfast is not worth the wait or enduring the poor service. Our stay in April '24 was a big disappointment. read more

Great friendly staff is the only saving grace. Hotel elevators are broken and apparently have been however they don't inform you of this. Hotel is in disrepair and it's clear has been on a downward trend for years. Entire lace is carpeted, is dirty and dusty. Hotel is an allergy nightmare. Brown water came out of the sink and tub every use. Bed was like a hard plank and pillows seemed like they were 30 years old. It could be a charming place with some investment. read more

During my stay, I decided to visit the bar and enjoy a cocktail. While I was sitting there, the manager approached me and proceeded to engage in a conversation. At first, she was pleasant. After a while, she started telling me a story about a man who had an encounter with a black person and said he had a gun with a *n word* name on it some years back. This conversation was within five minutes of meeting her. She was comfortable enough to say the n word to me twice. This encounter made me feel so disturbed and disgusted that I closed my tab and left. Her lack of basic human decency and cultural awareness was horrific and frightening to me. I pray that no one else has or will have this experience. Stay away. Also, the rooms are extremely outdated. The bedding looks like it's from the 1950s and the tub and sink were rusted and dirty. read more

Skip this one. Outdated rooms and fixtures. "Made to order" breakfast if you want just scrambled eggs. Outside looks nice but skip it. Did I say skip it? read more

I was so excited to get to this inn after reading their description on their website. Love to stay in charming old inns, but this was quite a disappointment. There was no chocolate turn down service, towels were not fluffy nor were the pillows supple and the room and bathroom needed major updates- didn't measure up to their description at all. Expected better for what they charge for a night. Totally loved the style of the inn, and the ambience of the main area, but it needs some major updates to bring it up to the glory of what it once must have been. read more

This inn is a good alternative if you are going to Boone and the hotels are full or asking for rates of $300+. We stayed here recently for our son's graduation from App State. The inn is pet friendly and we were happy to pay a pet fee to bring our dog. The inn also has encryption turned on for their WiFi which made doing work at night easier. The beds and pillows were quite hard and stiff. Also it can be foggy at night if it has rained earlier in the evening. read more

I just finished managing logistics, route planning, meal planning and hotel planning for an annual multi-day charity motorcycle ride. We traveled over 1600 miles and stayed 8 nights in hotels. The staff and accommodations at Green Park Inn were some of the best not only on this ride, but on any of the 19 rides we've taken. I planned the route specifically to take in the history and ambiance of the Green Park, and it did not disappoint. From Charles Ellis on piano in the lobby to Laurie, Hunter, Eric and especially Kerrie, everyone dealt with our medium large group of 35 with grace and a service-oriented mindset. You want cookie-cutter rooms and a bland environment? You want cold cereal for "breakfast"? Go elsewhere! But if you want charm and class (and an absolutely great complimentary breakfast!) in an historic setting, please consider the Green Park. read more

This place is a nightmare. When we checked in the desk clerk was not at all knowledgeable. She didn't know if the restaurant was open. Also, the desk area smelled like a dog kennel. Which we later discovered there was a dog in the office. The room was horrible. It had not been updated since the 60's. The pillow shams were stained, the bed was lumpy, carpet unraveling, window air conditioning units, stained bathtub, broken tile, flat pillows, the room was extremely small, for the short time we were there, you could hear all the noise from other rooms, small tv, etc. We had booked two nights but we ended up being charged only 1 night but we still did not stay. We checked out within a hour. Beware, do not stay here. This had to be the worse place. I cant understand how this place passed an inspection. save your money and go elsewhere. read more

We stayed the day after they re-opened after Covid, and there were just a handful of guests. They did a great job of distancing and requiring masks in the lobby and wearing masks and stuff to make it a safe stay. I'm glad we read reviews across a few sites because we knew what to expect: an old hotel that is short on modern conveniences but long on charm. It's like staying at an old European 3-star hotel. The rooms don't smell "new construction fresh" but they're nice and clean and big! Ours had a great balcony. We also got a great made-to-order breakfast, included, which they delivered to our room. read more

Great place to be. I love the history of the location. They took great care of our group of 35.

We took our honeymoon here 38 years ago so we were shocked at how the town has changed. The trees in front of the hotel had grown up so some of the views are restricted and also blocking the beauty of the hotel. We were kinda sad to see peeling paint and rotten wood different locations. The owners evidently don't have the funds or staff to keep it up. The lobby is old and nostalgic as well as the old smell. It just adds to the charm. I would much rather the old look and feel than new cookie cutter hotels. The staff was awesome and very welcoming. The bar and restaurant staffed by the same people were beyond nice. The room was nice and bed comfortable. There again was painting issues in the room that was not matching but needed attention. The sheets and bed spread was old style and soft. Actually we had a very quiet and peaceful 2 nights. We look forward to coming back and hope to see a fresh coat of paint. read more

Historic inn in blowing rock sc. looking for a neat place to stay in lieu of a not so memorable hotel, we decided to give the green park a try. It is a historic inn being built in the 1800's. The outside is warm and inviting. The inside is as well and well appointed. The staff were very friendly. The rooms and hallways need updating badly, or at least a facelift. I do believe they are in the midst of renovating but have a ways to go. The best art of our stay was the free breakfast which is done to order in their restaurant and was quite good, the best complimentary breakfast I've ever had. We did feel like the majority of the clientele were on the older side so if you're young and looking for excitement this is likely not the place. In all not a bad experience but I would recommend looking elsewhere if traveling to blowing rock at least until renovations are complete. read more

I haven't stayed in the Inn lately, but want to pass along a lovely customer service experience that I just had this weekend. I had some special requests involving reservations for a relative. Christy, the early daytime reservations person, was extremely pleasant and helpful. She went over and beyond, and reminded me of some special discounts I could apply that I had forgotten to use. In today's world when people are harried, overworked and anxious, customer service has taken a toll. My experience with Christy was such a welcome surprise. Reviews tend to focus on the negative; it's human nature sometimes not to reward the positive things and just move along if all goes well. I just wanted to take the time to thank Christy. She's a wonderful ambassador for the Green Park Inn! read more

I was a housekeeper at this hotel. The desk ladies are likely but not guaranteed to be polite to you. Depends on who you get. Beyond this, you should know the patterned pillow cases and the patterned quilts are *not washed unless stained*, in fact housekeepers who worked there longer told me its likely been years since they've been laundered. You should know that in some of the rooms there is mold in the walls, as well as holes in the walls that they have not covered. Legally these rooms should be closed, because of risk of insects, however they neglect to do so. Someone was booked into a room with mold in the drywall while I was there and was not told of the mold. You should be aware that some of the rooms A/C units are very modern and others are old, half broken and ineffective at best. The staff allows workers who slack, so you are likely to get dirty rooms. The management knows, other housekeepers have complained. Trust me, we don't like it either. These rooms are expensive, and it's frankly just not worth it. If you're going to spend your money, go somewhere nice. (Worth noting I quit and am not an angry past employee who'd been fired.） You are paying a lot of money for the "historic" nature, but with it comes years of neglect and poor management. I study history, I 100% understand why that is a draw. My advice though? Go to some other historical landmark and stay in a normal, clean hotel. read more

I was set to stay at the Green Park Inn for about 20 days due to being in town for work. It is an old, cute inn. Good to visit for a night or maybe just for their restaurants but I would not recommend staying here. I have stayed at plenty of "old" inns that offer more modern amenities that this one is lacking. Not every room had air conditioning when I was there, there are no mini fridge in the room, WiFi was spotting, etc. I switched rooms to get a nicer room that had a sitting area. The rooms are pretty dark. They did have tv and cable in the rooms. I checked out after 2 nights because on the second night there were mouse droppings found in my room and this mouse had gotten in my bag of food on the table. I told the front desk employee about it and he offered an insincere apology and gave me my receipt. If you are staying in Blowing Rock I suggest just driving to Boone to stay. read more

This review is being written the same day we checked out for a one night stay in hopes of others avoiding our fate. First, the staff at the hotel were lovely. That's where the positive ends. Our room was on the second floor immediately over a piano player in the lobby who played for 3 1/2 hours making it difficult to enjoy the room. The room was also over a ceiling fan in the lobby that we heard throughout the night. The room was extremely small. There were only two pillows for two people and they were quite flat. The one spare pillow we found in the closet did not have a pillowcase and it was filthy. The light for the room would only turn on/off when plugged in and unplugged. No microwave. No refrigerator. And the bed felt like sleeping on cement. Save your money and go someplace else or make sure you're not located over the lobby. read more

This place is truly a hidden gem. Charming, romantic, packed with history, this beautiful bed and breakfast made our trip a true joy. They pay attention to every detail, the room is packed with all the essentials to make you feel at home ( we stayed in the standard room), including a Keurig in the room! The room was so clean, not a hair was found in the bathroom. The sheets and blankets on the bed smelled fresh. This place is 127 years old and the staff are on there A game. The place spotless and so well kept. The breakfast that comes with your stay is better than any five star restaurant. We had dinner at the Tavern downstairs the night before and truly had amazing food and a wonderful time. We will be back the next time we are in town. Absolutely loved our stay. read more

We stayed three nights and I gave it five stars because of what they offer and deliver. Is this place perfect? No. Did my wife and I enjoy our stay? YES. This is a vintage hotel, built in the 1800's. If you do not want charm, creaky tilted floors and old furnishings, then it is not for you. But we very much appreciated the staff, the large room, good tv and wifi, the quietness even though it is next to a busy highway, the quaint vintage furnishings, a short drive to the middle of town, and the price. The only complaint was that the hot water in the shower came up fast but the sink took a couple minutes for hot to get there. I can be patient, I was on vacation. If you like vintage historic hotels, this is it. Even the owner who stays there occasionally stopped to talk to us. He is knowledgeable of the area and attractions and the hotel itself. THANKS! read more

It's an old looking building and cute and quiet and even dog friendly! The things I didn't like: the shower head is super short. I'm about 5'6"/5'7" and I had to literally bend over backwards to wash my hair , very annoying. They also didn't have mini fridges? I get it it's an old building but when renovated they should of thought of those two things read more

My [now] fiancé booked a room at the Green Park Inn for the weekend as he was surprising me with a proposal on the top of the mountain that we hiked. (How romantic? I'm still gleaming!) As always, I am aiming to keep an honest review. The Inn: The inn is a historical landmark and is over 120 years old; so, that is definitely something to consider when booking a stay here. I've seen some reviews where people have said it's outdated; but, personally, I feel that should be expected due to the overall aesthetic of the Inn. I will say that they could do a better job with general upkeep and with potential structural issues. The flight of stairs we walked down felt a bit wobbly and creaky. One of the steps shifted when I stepped down onto it. On the first floor, there is a sitting area, a tavern, and a restaurant. This made it pretty convenient for staying in and grabbing a bite to eat. The food at the Chestnut Grille was tasty (I did a separate review for it on Yelp). We had a complimentary breakfast that we redeemed when we were checking out and the options included were pretty impressive. I ordered a cheese omelette with home fries and toast and my fiancé ordered two eggs, bacon, home fries, and toast. It was yummy! Our room: We stayed in the couple's suite, which had a king size bed, a small bathroom, and a small seating area right inside of the door. (Cable and WiFi are available, too.) The room was actually pretty clean, although, we did notice a stain on one of the quilted pillows. One thing that surprised us was that they did not have a mini fridge in the sitting area that had glassware, a Keurig, and and a bottle of wine. They did have water on the table; but, it was in a carafe and was not cold (which was weird). The light in the seating area wasn't functioning and the tile in the bathroom shifted when you walked on it, as well. There is a connecting door within the room that I'm assuming leads to the adjoining suite. We did hear our neighbors talking from time to time; but, we can't complain because our pup let out a bark or two and they may have heard her. Something to consider if you're planning for a quiet stay. [Note: It is pet friendly, which is awesome (as we take our pup everywhere). They have designated pet areas outside, as well. The only downside is that there is only one entrance and exit to take your dog out; so, you have to walk your dog through the crowd of people in the sitting area/past the piano man. This is not necessarily a bad thing if you have a dog who doesn't crave belly rubs from strangers, haha.] We were also told the room would have "views;" but, unfortunately, all we could see from the balcony was the road nearby, part of the golf course, and the garden behind the establishment. It was a pretty foggy afternoon; so, we didn't spend too much time on the patio. [Note: you can also unintentionally see inside of your neighbors' rooms from the balcony due to the way the privacy walls are built. We made sure our blinds were closed because of this.] Other comments: The stay was also supposed to have a couple's massage; however, the masseuse cancelled three days before our reservation and said they were overbooked. This was definitely a bummer as it was part of his surprise for the weekend. :( Luckily, the Inn refunded us for the massages on the final bill. Overall, we had a really nice weekend and I am still over the moon for our special occasion. It's a cool place to check out if you're interested in staying at a historical landmark that has been around for many years! read more

If you are looking for a place that reminds you of your great aunt s house look no further This place even smells musty.

I am pretty sure that we will not stay there again. read more

This place is very plain and overpriced. We were near what sounded like a compressor that turned on every hour or so. The bathroom could not have been more poorly done. The food was plain. We were disappointed overall The high point was a great bar with super nice staff and ambiance. read more

Because I was in charge of planning our Blowing Rock vacay, that meant I got to choose the hotel. When I found out that this was where Margaret Mitchell wrote some of Gone With The Wind, I was sold. It's one of my all time favorite books and I love visiting and supporting places with so much incredible history. Other notable guests to this historic hotel have included Annie Oakley, President Cleveland and Marilyn Monroe, just to name a few. Check out this really incredible article about the inn's history and restoration here: http://www.foxnews.com/travel/2012/07/16/historic-north-carolina-mountain-lodge-reborn/ Upon arrival, we were greeted and given a real key to our room. Although there is a musty, "historic" smell in the hallways, the room smelled really fresh and clean. Amenities were nice and although the fixtures were classic, there was an hdtv and free wireless internet. Perfect mix of modern and historic. Do be careful about flushing the toilet while someone is in the shower--needless to say, it was unfortunate. We enjoyed drinks at the bar, which we brought out the rocking chairs out front and dined at the inn's restaurant. Food and drinks were immaculately prepared. The free breakfast in the mornings was also incredibly generous and delicious. My only complaint is upon checking out, the service was a bit less than friendly. We had to wait while the clerk accosted a man for not returning a room key he claimed to have never received. It was an unfortunate blemish on an otherwise wonderful stay. read more

We saw a segment on NC Weekend on PBS about the restoration of the historic Green Park Inn and decided to give it a try. We have stayed at a number of historic hotels so, we thought we knew what to expect. First, it is a historic hotel. That means old. It was obviously built over several years with wings added at some later time. It has been nicely restored. First impressions weren't great. As we approached the front door, there was a female employee standing there texting away at hundred miles an hour. She paused long enough to smile at us and open the door. We checked in quickly and went back to get our baggage. There she was, texting away again. We loaded up and headed back inside. She again paused long enough to open the door. I'm not sure if she was supposed to be a doorman or was just an employee that picked a lousy place to take her break. The common areas are gorgeous. There is a large sitting area in the lobby, a large front porch (unfortunately, routinely occupied by smokers) and a great little bar with stained glass windows. We upgraded to a balcony room and enjoyed it. The room was spotless, large and nicely decorated. It did have an odd flowery-stale smell tho... The restroom had some of the original decor, the toilet was cracked and just looked old. The balcony was a great place to enjoy the cool mountain weather. We spent a fair amount of time there. I routinely harass my wife about carrying her hair dryer when we travel. All hotels have them. So.....the one time she leaves it behind, we get the hotel without hair dryers and irons in the room. Fortunately for me, they had them available for checkout at the front desk. Another pet peeve of mine is that when I'm spending in excess of $180 for a night, the least the hotel could do is have real glassware in the room rather than crappy shrink wrapped plastic cups. C'mon, how much can glasses cost? The linens were nice quality and the beds were comfortable tho... Housekeeping didn't get to our room until after 4:30 and after I went to the front desk and asked about it. I know that someone has to be last but, we were out of our room by 8:00 AM. When they finally arrived, our housekeepers were efficient and as nice as they could be. Breakfast was included in the rate and was pretty good although, a bit boring and uninspired. Eggs, waffles and french toast cooked to order. The staff couldn't seem to keep up tho. Coffee cups were nearly always empty; a cardinal sin of breakfast service. All in all, it was a nice stay although, I'm not sure we'll be back. read more

Lots of charm and a good value. It's an old hotel and things feel a bit dated, but it was clean and the staff friendly. We had some noise from drunk wedding guests in the hallway, but the hotel can't really control that. I would come back.

Fantastic first stay! I was greeted by Lisa at the front desk. As she checked me in, she went through the normal check in conversation..breakfast time...check out time...bar hours. Etc. About 1/2 way into the check in procedure, the hotel phone rings and Lisa politely excuses herself to answer the call. I could tell pretty quick the call was in reference to a reservation. Lisa politely asked them to hold on because she was in the process of checking someone (me) in. Lisa returned back to finishing up my check in and asked me if it was the first time at the hotel for me. I answered "yes it is". As quick as those words came out of my mouth, Lisa practically darted from behind the desk and began to briskly walk me through the lobby explaining some more of the history and pointing out even more particulars of the hotel. Needless to say, I was blown away by this personal attention. I thanked Lisa very much for her time and attention and headed up to my room. After getting settled in my room, it was time for dinner. I proceeded back downstairs to "The Divide", which is the hotels bar (serves food as well). Again, I was politely greeted my the bartender/server. I inadvertently missed getting his name but did notice his initials of "SCG" on my receipt. I just so happened to be the only customer in the bar at the time. He did a great job at offering drinks and dinner. He pored a great beer as well as made some great suggestions for dinner to me. I ordered Lobster Bisque soup and Mac & Chicken for main entree. The soup was brought out and was absolutely fantastic! The strangest thing happened though as I was eating my soup though. I noticed out of corner of my eye a man approaching me. It was the chef! He wanted to ask me just how spicy I wanted him to make the Mac & Cheese for me! WOW! That was a first for me. The chef obviously took great pride in making his food just as the customer (me) wanted it. Needless to say, the entire meel was fantastic! I thanked the bar tender for the great conversation and more historical facts that he shared with me while I enjoyed my time in the bar. I retreated to my room for the night. Morningtime came fast and it was time to check out. I didn't have time to enjoy breakfast but promised myself next stay, I would. As I checked out, the very nice blonde lady at the desk was super friendly and genuinely seemed to care how my stay was at this hotel. I thanked her again for the great experience that I had in my short stay. I can't say enough good things about this very unique hotel. From the awesome staff to the decor...to the cleanliness. I have paid much, much more for a one night stay in a hotel and got far,far, less in amenities and even more importantly, fantastic service!! A+++ rating in my book!! read more

Great place for bringing the New Year!! Old charm.

We have been at The Green Park Inn for 4 nights and hate leaving this morning. We were able to bring our 2 small dogs, who now know and love the whole staff. Everyone has been so kind, accommodating and friendly. The breakfasts have been lovely and filling. We spent 2 nights eating outside of the inn, but found the last 2 nights that the food at the inn was much better, so from now on, we will eat here. I love the history and stories surrounding the inn. It has been a wonderful experience at the Green Park Inn and we will be back! read more

We had our son's rehearsal dinner there on Dec. 6th, 2019 in the garden room. I can not say enough nice things about the place. Kerry the event planner was so nice, the food was excellent and the garden room shined after all the tables and lighting were in place. Pricing was also good. read more

We began working with GPI several months ago in preparation for our daughter's wedding. The Inn was chosen as the site for the reception and rehearsal dinner. Most of our guests planned to stay there. First the positives... The Inn is lovely, with plenty of space. The food was delicious, the bar exceptional and the piano player in the lobby first rate. The restaurant and adjoining room were ideal for approximately 100 guests. Parking was ample. The condition of the rooms was dated, but well maintained, as was expected. We were less than pleased with the service. Weeks prior, the bride, groom, matron of honor and bride's mother had scheduled a menu tasting. They drove over 2 hrs each way. Not only were more than half the items to be served not available, the chef was far too busy to meet the couple. This would be a sign of things to come. I called and specified rooms, by type/name of occupant, several weeks prior. I wasn't informed of a limited number of "Deluxe" rooms or that we'd be charged for "Superior" rooms instead. Most of our group was shocked when presented bills significantly higher than expected for a 2 night stay. A confirmation email had been sent, but upon review, went to the wrong address; although, all other messages to me were correct. When booked, our rooms were to have been together to limit travel between rooms and excess walking for parents/grandparents. A later request was made by the groom to keep groomsmen together which resulted in the bridal party being scattered throughout the hotel. Why the two requests were treated as mutually exclusive, we don't know. We spent over 90 minutes working out room assignments at check-in. Unfortunately, the individual responsible for coordinating our group with the hotel was unavailable. This would be a running theme. We were 2.5 hrs checking out and, when a rate was agreed upon, weren't given the bridal party discount (10%) as offered. At one point, the gentleman behind the desk complained he was "tired of cleaning up other people's messes". Again, the coordinator was not present. The "standard" room for the bride's grandparents was small, dark and had only a small mirror on the wall. It was, in my father-in-laws words, "the worst room we've ever stayed in". After speaking with the desk about conditions, someone swapped the single light bulb in the room for one with higher wattage. That was it... Breakfast was delicious, but understaffed. Many waited an inordinate amount of time for meals, coffee refills, etc... despite the Inn knowing how many were staying. During the reception, the wait staff seemed anxious to tear down the room early. Tables were cleared of meals and drinks not yet finished, and many in the party never got to eat any of the wedding cake since plates were removed while they were dancing. Also, the top layer of the cake somehow disappeared. The bride and groom were to have had a slice of each of the three layers, and no one in the entire reception got a slice of the tiramisu. It vanished during the cutting, presumably eaten by the kitchen/wait staff. When questioned, no explanation was given. The rehearsal dinner included homemade ice cream for dessert; however, they were still making it during the dinner and there wasn't enough to go around. Many left without. Again, poor planning considering they knew how many were in attendance. Overall, communication was poor and the one person responsible for coordinating everything at the Inn for this very special weekend was conspicuous in her absence. While the facility was lovely and suited our needs well, the feeling we were being "nickled & dimed" was present throughout the weekend. The lack of wait staff, serving delays, missing items, over 4 hrs lost checking in/out, and being rushed through the reception all combined to spoil an otherwise wonderful event. If we had it to do over, I'd look elsewhere, They just didn't seem up to handling this event, despite months of planning and preparation. read more
