Clean but outdated
Hillwinds Inn was in a very convenient location right in the middle of all the action on Main Street, perhaps a 5 minute walk only. The staff was very friendly and courteous. However, the room itself, which clean, was very outdated - everything seems very old and when we entered had a stale smell - I guess just old furniture. In any event, it did the job for a night's stay.

We arrived right after 8 pm had to park a truck and trailer on the street since there was no parking a trailer in the hotel parking lot. We received a call from the office while trying to park and were told that they were closing and could not wait five minutes for us to check in. They left an envelope with the key in the drop box. We had no problems with our room but it would have been nice to to be welcomed; 8 pm seem pretty early to close on a Saturday night. The beds were pretty soft, and the curtain was torn from the rings on once side so we could not close it completely. But we were only there one night and it served our purpose.

Very nice property. A bit old but everything around this area is the same. Very clean though! Restaurants are a walking distance so it's very convenient. Easy to park in front of your room.

we have been coming to Hillwinds for over 30 years and we are never disappointed. It's one of the cleanest motels ever stayed in anywhere. It is not the Ritz Carlton nor is it meant to be. Is quaint and centered right near the center of Blowing Rock which is one of our places to go on our excursions from Charleston. Highly recommended it. 👩‍🍳👍

Fantastic location in downtown Blowing Rock...couldn't be better. The exteriors are quaint and fit in with the neighborhood. Inside, though, it's just tired and desperately needs a facelift...bearable for one night.

In great need of updating . The mattress was very worn and the window air conditioner was loud and had a musty smell. We will not be back and can find updated accommodations in the same price range ( which was not cheap) in nearby competitive lodging.

An OK stay
Liked the quaintness of this motel. I.e.the colonial features and the rocking chairs outside. My husband slept well but I didn’t like the mattress. The check-in clerk was pleasant but not that helpful. Great location!

The room was clean but there was no surface to put anything on other than a very small table, the bathroom is so tiny that you could scarcely turn around (I am barely 170 lbs), the A/C had to run continuously to keep the room cool (it was only in the 70s outside) and it did not take any humidity out of the air (miserably damp inside). The staff was pleasant and the property was very manicured and neat.

When we arrived the faucet handle was broke as well the hot water handle in tub didnt work, after unpacking we had to move rooms. Once settled again ready to take shower. No hot water. So the staff was very pleasant, apologized and worked to fix the problem. But at that point we were late for dinner reservations. The interior of the rooms needed updating, bed was ok, for the price though in that area, which is fantastic, probably you pay for what you get. We were Dissatisfied with the "oh well attitude" checking out at the end of stay, we werent offered anything for our inconvenience. Just a so sorry, leave a review. We stayed 5 days. Definitely would look for another place with a little more up to date amenities. All in all in the grand scheme everything being in a very close walk made up for most of it.
