Excellent customer service and hospitality skills. The room is a good place to sleep. Great bathroom experience. Overall you will enjoy your stay. If you want a bigger room, pay a little more for it, but even the cheaper rooms are a great place to stay the night.

Amazing historic hotel close to quaint funky town

This was our 4th stay at The Blackburn Inn and Conference Centre in Staunton, VA. We always make it a point to stay at this property when traveling on I-81 down South. Just walking about the front steps is very impressive and the rich history becomes palpable. The property grounds are beautiful. The hotel is steps away from restaurants, antique stores and shopping in the quaint and funky historic district of Staunton. The hotel staff is very kind and friendly and eager to make your stay super enjoyable. The rooms and colour schemes are beautiful, serene and calming with modern amenities. We loved the rain shower. The interior of the hotel shows its rich history with many of the original features left intact. The spiral staircase to the cupola is especially impressive. We loved the walking distance to town. Overall, this is a very unique and amazing property and we will continue to come here whenever possible. Highly recommended.

The stay was wonderful. Good, friendly service. The only thing that would have made the stay better was if there had been at least 4 towels and wash clothes in the bathroom.

Amazing historic hotel close to downtown Staunton

This is a one-of-a-kind historic beautiful hotel. We have stayed there before and made sure that we could stay again on our route down South. Just coming up the main driveway is hugely impressive and you see the splendour of this property, especially when illuminated at night. The staff at check-in was very friendly, personable and helpful and made us feel welcome. The room was clean, spacious and well appointed. The location is great, within a short walk to historic and quaint downtown Staunton with its beautiful shops and plenty of restaurants. All staff we talked to was super nice. It was quiet and relaxing. The architecture is nothing short of amazing, just look at the spiral staircase. We would definitely stay there again. Highly recommended and very special experience.

Switch Not Courtesy - Comes With Cost

We booked through Hotels.com and upon arrival realized we had been booked in a handicap room with a very sad shower. As we went to check on a reservation for later they ask about our room and ask if we would like to switch rooms. We said that would be great. We were charged $33 more for a much..much smaller room. We had to turn sideways to pass in the hall between the coffee pot and the bathroom. We were not happy as they were not full.

Unfortunately, during this stay the breakfast and the staff preparing and serving it were far below the standard for the rest of the hotel. The breakfast area was very cold, the french press coffee was made with the wrong grounds and was full of sludge, the kitchen did not have any lighter fare except toast that was served cold with rock hard butter and only one option for jam while the signature dish was missing mushrooms, a key ingredient; and service took almost 45 minutes. For the rest of the arts of the stay, the hotel was great as usual and we will come back, but we will get breakfast out, as we did on our second morning.
