Very interesting history to this Inn, it will appeal to some folks just for that reason, but it is lovely, clean and modernized. Beautiful setting in Staunton and within walking distance of downtown and restaurants.

I travel quite a bit and usually stay at corporate run properties. This was a boutique hotel which is far better. Property and hotel are immaculate. Very well decorated and kept.

We are caretakers for my daddy and my brother is a pastor near the Blackburn. He provides a respite weekend every Easter so was our second stay here. Everything was wonderful - friendly staff, beautiful setting, and clean room! It's a great place to just get away from the stress of living 🙂 I highly recommend!

Interesting unique historical setting. Our room was spacious and comfortable and quiet. Just a walk or short ride to downtown restaurants and shops, Shakespeare playhouse, etc. We were disappointed that bistro/bar onsite wasn't open.

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.

The stay was wonderful. Good, friendly service. The only thing that would have made the stay better was if there had been at least 4 towels and wash clothes in the bathroom.
