Historic inn

Check-in was easy but clerk was not overly helpful. The hotel is very nice, our room was comfortable but very small. The shower water leaked through the door causing water to pool on the floor. Although my hubby tried to clean it up, I slid and fell on the floor. Luckily I caught myself so didn’t get hurt

Overall, the hotel was beautiful, rooms were modern and clean. Pillows however were not very comfortable and somewhat small. Hotel grounds were the best part of our visit.

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.
