The suite pictured on the website has two rooms. The one we were allocated had only one. The elevator only goes to the third floor, so if you are on the foirth- as we were - you are left to drag your luggage up a long flight of stairs. The room was tidy but the bathroom smelled of urine. The walls were thin, so you could hear everyone coming and going. To use the gum, you have to sign out a key and hike uphill to a different building.

My beautiful bride Tressa and I spent two nights at the Blackburn Inn. It was our second visit to this lovely hotel. Both times we had travelled from Virginia Beach to Staunton to enjoy the 3-hour train excursion operated by Virginia Scenic Railway. I wanted to share what wonderful service we received from both Amber White, your front desk supervisor, and Devin, one of the wonderful housekeepers. Both of these young ladies went out of their way to make our stay a wonderful experience. Because of my wife's medical issues, I had made a few special requests during our stay. Both Amber and Devin were so pleasant and attentive to us, it made us feel very special. I won't bore you with specifics, but suffice it to say that these two ladies are incredible representatives of both the hotel management and the Blackburn Inn. It is because of them that we will continue to come back to this beautiful property for our future visits to Staunton.

We loved the property and thought the room was very nice. The contactless check-in and check-out process was smooth and convenient. However, we didn’t love that we had to download a separate app just to access the room key—especially for a one-time stay. Our digital key also stopped working an hour before checkout, which was frustrating as we were loading up the car. Thankfully, a staff member was able to help us get back in. Overall, it’s a beautiful place and we’d still recommend it, just with a heads-up about the app.

Excellent stay

Fun place to stay. Very comfortable but don't expect the normal room layout. If creaking floors bother you, ask for a room on the highest floor. The building is old with original flooring. That said, the little restaurant is superb. The cook is great and as she is the wait staff so is the staffing. There are places to sit and read or look out the windows at the views. The campus is quite lovely. It's history will interest many.

Stunning Architecture, Exceptional Staff

This hotel is beautiful and lovingly preserved. Every staff member we met was friendly and went out of their way to answer questions, especially about the building’s history. Breakfast at the Second Draft was perfect (get the iced collagen coffee!) and we really enjoyed the spa. The historical walls are literally a foot thick, so you can’t hear a peep from adjacent guests’ rooms. There’s even an art gallery on the third floor. Can’t wait to visit again!

The hotel is beautiful in a large estate-like property so it is very grand. The area is quiet but close to the town. You can walk to town (about 12 minute walk). The room was small (we got the classic room) but comfortable since we didn't spent much time there as we were in town most of the day. I would stay there again. It has great history.
