Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was awful. Located in the basement with windows overlooking an alley. Cement floors with no covering. Tiny space. Ten inches on one side of the bed to the wall. No chair because there was no room. Ill fitting sheets that were not even tucked under the mattress. Restaurant not open for lunch or dinner and nothing within walking distance. I would never book this hotel again

Our first room had bad AC and never cooled off. The evening attendant was great about looking into the problem and giving us a fan to try out before we ended up in a new room.

This property is amazing! My wife and I wanted a place to get away with a downtown that is walkable for shopping, dining and drinks Staunton is great. The staff at Blackburn is the best, especially Amber! Live the history of this resort and we can’t wait until more of the renovations are complete. Will definitely be back!

Wonderful hotel in the Shenandoah Valley

The facility was marvelous, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was very comfortable. I enjoyed the reading room, which had very comfortable seating. The grounds are wonderful, and the view from the tower is amazing. The town of Staunton is so full of history and beautiful architecture.

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.
