The free wi-fi was non-existent for most of our stay. If it is to be advertised as an amenity, it should be improved. The rooms are not consistent with the kitchen facilities.

Sorry you had problems with the WIFI. It was non-existent during your stay. We had a storm which ligtning hit two doors down from us. The whole street was affected. Charter had to service several on the street. We had to have a router replace. It was fixed by the next day. Maybe you can give us another try someday

Our room is small but the nice appointments and cleanliness throughout make it very nice. We’d come again. Nice town. I’ll take small and spotless any day over large and tacky.

We are sorry you did not enjoy your stay. I know you were upset when you arrived because it was snowing very hard. When confirming your room, you were asked if you had 4 wheel drive because the roads were bad, you said"yes". But when arriving you only had front wheel dirve. You wanted to cancel because we had snow in the parking lot and lots of snow on our street. You were informed you could. You wanted to go to a hotel with no snow. You were able to get in the parking lot. Your room was beside the office so that was easy to get in. I was not being rude to you, you were just really upset about the snow. As for the towels , we are sorry. We do not put dirty towels in the rooms. I could have gotten you more. But you were still upset about the snow.. We hope you had a safe trip home

My family and I so enjoyed our stay. The property was especially festive because it was the holiday season. My grandson enjoyed the fire pit. We needed a screwdriver and even though the office was closed, we contacted Brian and he saved our evening game night by bringing over a screwdriver. That is some excellent customer service.

So sorry you had problems with your room. You did not say anything to us upon check in, during, or check out about the problems you had with your room. Maybe we could have upgraded you to a different room or something else. We dont know which room you were in so we can address these problems you had. We hope you still enjoyed Blowing Rock

Our room was damp and humid, also dark. Our clothes felt wet when we got dressed, and the toilet sweated getting water on the floor. I let Donna know a dehumidifier was needed. Our floor sloped in several directions from a previous use, so be careful not to fall. The hosts were very friendly, the grounds gorgeous! So close to everything, and I felt very safe outside reading in one of the quiet nooks on the property and in the gazebo! Decor very pretty, I would stay again just not in that particular room. The refrigerator even had a freezer, for those of us who use ice packs!

Sorry you did not like your room. the air conditioner was very cold so made the room damp. This room was checked on check out. The machine in your room is not a dehumidifier but a air purifier. These were put in every room during Covid. We have left them in the rooms. This room is not damp. As for the slope in the floor, you were informed of the slight slope on check in. You said you were good with this. Or you could have been moved to a different room. We have lots of different rooms. Maybe you can get you into a different one next time. We hope you enjoyed your visit to Blowing Rock.

Great location for shopping and dining.
The inn appears to be an old motor court (motel) that has been renovated over the years. A lot of attention to detail was apparent, from the wooden animal carvings over the front of the office, to inlaid creek stone in the bathroom floors, and handmade benches and items specifically for the inn. The inn was in very nice condition and was clean. Most important, it is in the old section of Blowing Rock and is nearly perfectly located for shopping and dining on Main Street.

Room was really dusty at check-in. Sweet housekeeper came and dusted the surfaces well. Toilet would not flush. Had to keep taking off the lid to reconnect chain. Eventually flipped the connector and toilet flushed. Only had one tissue in the box and kid had a snotty nose. Beds and linens were extremely comfortable.

I so wanted to love the Hemlock Inn, and did... sort of. The people are very nice and easy to work with. The area is super convenient to shopping and dining in Blowing Rock (no need to move the car.) The place is really clean and the decor is charming. BUT... The walls are so thin we could hear every word of the conversation in the adjacent room. There is also a window at the top of the door with a very sheer curtain. Any tall person walking by could see us lying in bed. (We tested it. My husband is 6'4") There was a lot to love here, but our experience was mixed.
