Beautiful place but buckle tight
Pros:

Location. The room.

Cons:

For the luxury price charged, there was no fitness center or business center. The staff that was there were kind and friendly (except one). It felt shot staffed and cramped.

If location is what you want in Blowing Rock, The Embers Hotel is one you should check out!
Pros:

The location was perfect for walking into town. Fairly new hotel so everything was clean and taken care of. They provide housekeeping everyday which he unheard of these days for hotels. Bar area was nice and outside bar area on balcony was enjoyable to sit during the evening listening to live music. The lady who managed the food & beverage was awesome and helping out everywhere around the hotel.

Cons:

service at bar area inside was really slow when crowded and took a while to get drinks and to cash out. The restaurant was disappointing once we arrived at the hotel. From the website it looks very elegant and nice but it's just an extension of the bar area and is really noisy during dinner. We had a reservation there but decided to cancel and get at another location in town that was quieter and more had a better atmosphere.

Une seule envie, y revenir !
Pros:

Terry à l’accueil est FANTASTIQUE ! Gentil, serviable, à l’écoute, juste parfait ! L’emplacement, le balcon et ses rocking-chairs, la simplicité du petit-déjeuner. Le restaurant est très bon.

Cons:

Un peu bruyant. Les clients partent tôt et on les entend un peu trop bien !

Magical stay!!! Would love to stay again soon!!!
Pros:

The property is beautiful!!! Location is excellent!!! Staff is amazing!!! Love it!!!

Cons:

Our short stay!!! 😉
The only thing I would point out is that the twin sofa bed is not in good condition. Mattress is very stiff. Consider getting another room if you need another bed. Apart from that, it is amazing!!! Would love to go back!!!
