Holiday Inn Express Blowing Rock South, an IHG Hotel

Being moved to another room closer to the lobby. The lobby was very welcoming with two fireplaces and comfortable seating. We enjoyed having a cuppa coffee and watching TV by the fire. Breakfast was good.

For the price, the hotel was modern, clean, room was spacious and looked up to date, good water pressure, hot breakfast offered was a plus, gym was small but had good equipment and weights. I was able to walk to the downtown area and other attractions from the hotel.

The breakfast was very good. The food was hot and was replenished frequently. The posted sanitation grade is 100.0 The bed was comfortable and the room overall was "roomy". There is plenty of space in the bathroom for toiletries.

Friendly customer service. Assistant general manager, Allen, was superb and friendly with our greeting at 10:00 pm arrival! This was unexpected. Breakfast staff was also very personable and welcoming. We felt taken care of and will definitely recommend this location to others! The accessibility for our dogs was great on the first floor. As a fur-friendly family this set up was perfect! Not many facilities have such an open grass area for pets. A plus!!

I have stayed in many hotels/motels/boutiques for business and vacations, and this Holiday Inn Express bested all the others in cleanliness, efficient and friendly staff, EXCEPTIONAL free breakfast, very comfortable beds, and a spacious room.
