I liked the Hillwinds as soon as we arrived very late and found a note as to where to find the room key, information on breakfast, an emergency number and request that we check in in the morning... ...the staff was very friendly...breakfast very reminiscent of a typical "chain" continental breakfast...plenty of parking...the room was comfortable, well-equipped and clean....the Hillwinds...

I read the other reviews on this place, but our experience was not consistent with some of the other reviewers. We arrived kind of late in a pretty big rainstorm. The room was clean and appeared to be well maintained. Bed was comfortable. Wi-fi access was available. The breakfast was supposed to last until around 10 am, and we were... More

Hotel staff of the property was very helpful but there were some negatives that made my stay disappointing. When I checked in my room had no clock and the first morning there was a broken and flooding toilet. The buffet breakfast was not worthy of a B&B. It consisted of pre-packaged or pre-frozen items. Only fresh item was a bowl... More

This was a cute and comfortable stop for us on a motorcycle trip through the area. It was nice to park right outside our room and have a couple of rocking chairs to relax on in the evening. The room was a little dark, but nicely decorated and offered a comfortable bed. It a nice stroll into town, which offered... More

Rooms were small and cramped. Housecleaning was not sufficient, housecleaning staff obviously just did a light brush over, if that. Furniture seemed very dusty and dingy, as were the half hung curtains. The bathroom is TINY! Can not even get out of the shower without hitting the toilet. That in & of itself defeats the purpose of being clean considering... More

Overall, we had a nice one night stay this past weekend. The front desk attendant was friendly and provided good service. The wine and cheese hour from 5-6pm was nice and breakfast then next morning was better than I expected. Only negatives were that the toilets flushed VERY loudly and continued to make noise for about a minute after flushing... More

We stayed in the Davidson Suite, and it was wonderful! The pictures on the Hillwinds website were accurate, it was clean, warm, and a nice mix of modern/quaint. There is also a full kitchen. The hotel is right downtown, and you can walk everywhere that you need to go. I can't speak to the regular rooms because I didn't see... More

We were on a Goldwing Trip with another couple just traveling along the Blue Ridge Parkway and taking our time enjoying all of the sights. As the sun started to set, we decided it was time to find a place for dinner and a good nights rest. Our next exit was Blowing Rock, so we got off the exit and... More
