Everything was good except the tub drained so slowly. It needs to be fixed. But the beds and bed linens were very comfy. Excellent location within walking distance to everything in town. And nice that we could bring our dog.

The room was nice and clean. It was on the older side but had everything we needed. It was a little challenge getting the heat setting where we like it but overall nicely comfy room and great night in BR.

Attractive property from the exterior, but showing its age inside. Clean and well kept. But baseboard radiant electric heat, ancient air conditioner unit mounted in wall.

My husband and I arrived at the village inn for a weekend getaway My husband had a very bad migraine, we arrived two hrs before check in time.I asked if there was a was anyway we could get an early check in because my husband's migraine was terrible and he really needed to lay down. The guy at the desk asked my name and looked at the computer for a minute and then said no the room was not ready. I said ok well what is our room number so we could park by the room and wait. He asked my name again and then this time really looked at the computer and said 'Oh looks like your staying at our sister location down the street. This told me he never looked at his computer for a early check in at all!!!!!! I went to the sister location and again asked if we could get a early check in so my poor husband could lay down and rest. Well the guy working the desk was no better he said flat out NO. There were no cleaning people around and all the rooms looked ready to go Both were Very Unfriendly and VERYVERY RUDE!!!!. I would never book this hotel again .we left 1 day early and was out 180.00. BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!

Good location, clean rooms, the only thing is a little old, but otherwise no complaints, it is quiet and you don't hear any noise, it is a little expensive considering the rooms.

Great property. Very walkable to all restaurants and shops. Stayed in the Tarheel Suite. Its was clean and nicely decorated. Only complaint is below us woke us up in the morning with slamming doors and talking loud. Not sure if its a common area or maybe cleaning. Other than that its a nice place to stay and we will be back with our pup.

Lovely quaint hotel only a few blocks from the Main Street of Blowing Rock. The rooms are comfortable and the amenities are great. We loved staying here plus it is pet friendly so we were able to bring our Great Pyrenees dog with us. The staff are very friendly and helpful as well. We will definitely stay here again.

I really had a great stay at the hilltop inn! The bedding and mattress was very comfortable and it was a close walk to many cute shops and restaurants in Bowing Rock.

We have stayed at Hillwinds twice in recent weeks and really enjoy it. It is a restored motel convenient to Main Street in Blowing Rock. The staff is vey nice and the location is great. This has become our go-to in Blowing Rock.

Toilet runs every 5 min; need to replace plunger in tank as it constantly refills loudly 24/7. The fridge also runs very loudly; something wrong with it. Update thermostat it is 39 years old and hard to see and hold right temp.

The property is "old" and dated. The sinks in the bathroom do not drain properly. The room was not clean. The lighting is bad. I do not recommend staying at this property.

Room was not ready at check in. I had arrived at 3:30. The employee said it should be any minute and he would call me. We left the property ~ came back at 4:45 (and he had no clue who I was). I reminded him that I was expecting a call when my room was ready. His reply was it must have just gotten done. Not okay. No apology. It was cold and we were wandering around the town (had a dog so couldn’t go in to stores or restaurants).

What a sweet, cozy place to stay! Our weekend visiting App State was filled with windy snowy nights made lovelier by the warm ness of the room. Walkable to eat, drink and shop! Highly recommend!
