The Blackburn Inn and Conference Center

Highly recommended. One of my favorite hotel stays of all time. You'll feel like you're in a Jane Austen novel. Perfect for a romantic getaway. It's a historic building, grand and gorgeous. The room felt rustic but with modern touches. Large rainfall shower. Genuinely friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast is extra, will run you about $12-$20 per person in 2024. Not a big menu and we chose to eat at a local bakery called Réunion (amazing coffee & pastries!) which is a 10 min walk from the hotel, a couple of mins by car. There's a convenient parking lot on your left as you enter the historic downtown, only takes quarters at 75 cents per hour. There's free parking elsewhere but the paid lot is easy to access. The walk from the hotel to the downtown is short but not the safest at night as the sidewalks are narrow and you're walking close to cars. If you're lucky, you're in town for a play at the Shakespeare Center! Parking is free at the hotel. The main feature of the hotel is a spiral staircase. If you're fit to walk the steps, make sure you go to the top and enjoy the view! Only two suggestions for the hotel: - include more regular coffee pods in the room; happy to see a Keurig but only had one regular coffee pod, two decaf pods and one green tea - get the thermostat to stop blinking. This will only bother you if you're on the sofa bed, not noticeable from the bed itself. Dreamy hotel that I hope to return to one day. Glad I visited Staunton for this experience!

We enjoyed our time here. We walked to everything and took an Uber one night. The Kohler tube was great. Great amenities, service and location.

Great hotel, great amenities, great location. Ive stayed here 3 times in the past 2 months, business related. It has been consistently better than any of the others around this location. The cleanliness is above and beyond!

Hotel is absolutely beautiful! The front desk was so kind and did a great job welcoming us to Staunton and giving recommendations for places to eat in the area. The only thing that could have made it better is if there was a smart TV in the room instead of cable!

Beauriful historic remodeled well kept historic property. Staff was amazing. Rooms were great. Only bad can say is the original 100 year old knotty pine floor squeezed a lot. Great stay and will be back.

The entire staff could not have been more welcoming, capable, and accommodating. We loved every minute of its quiet tranquility and will definitely be back!

Easy online check-in with room key access through app. The room is very clean and comfortable.

This was a quick pop in to meet up with family for a longer trip. It was a little difficult to locate the parking lot and the door as it does not have a traditional entrance. I did not provide dinner as stated. The restaurant was suppose to open the night we arrived but never opened. They are not equipped at the coffee shop for those that are dairy free so bring items that you need for morning coffee. We would stay there again as the rooms were large but maybe pick up dinner ahead of time when traveling late. The choices were Mexican or burgers:(

We loved the Blackburn Inn for our girls weekend. The property is beautiful! Staff were all friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and nicely decorated. Rooms had a separate sitting area with a sofa/bed and television in addition to the television in the bedroom ( which would be nice for children). The renovation done to this historic property is fabulous while preserving the Jeffersonian look that Blackburn had in mind originally. I can’t wait to come again this spring to see the weeping willow trees and the flowers in bloom.
