Top Downtown Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Boone University

10/10 Excellent

"We were very pleasantly surprised by the affordability of such a comfortable hotel, with wonderful amenities, and really helpful staff. Everyone was very nice, and ready to help whenever we had questions (we were unfamiliar with the lock on the microwave) or had issues (someone came to help us adjust the refrigerator). There were no pet fees, which made the trip even more affordable. The breakfast was delicious, and the outdoor roofed porch was fantastic (we had breakfast there), as was the outdoor picnic area (we had dinner there). The lemonade (pineapple or strawberry) was delicious! The room was very clean, very comfortable. The pet walking area was really pretty--beautiful trees, lots of birds. We would not hesitate to book again, in fact, we're looking forward to visiting the same hotel next time we're in town."

Holiday Inn Boone - University Area by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean...quiet. We did have a tiny problem with a few young children running up and down the hallway which was very annoying but the gentleman at the front desk nicely took care of that and swiftly. He let us check in a little early because he had great customer service skills and knew we were very ready to get out of our car from traveling. Thanks for a nice stay. This is our second time at this location near the University and we will definitely be back."

Boxwood Lodge

8/10 Good

"I enjoyed my 4 nights at the Boxwood Lodge. My room was very clean, especially the bathroom. It appeared to be recently remodeled, the beds were comfortable and the large mini fridge had good freezer space, the Keurig coffee maker and microwave looked new. Wish there had been a table in the kitchen area to store food & drinks. We asked for another chair and side table to be brought in, which the staff happily did for us. The room was very quiet, did not hear road noise. Our stay was during the week, so our room did not have neighbors, which was nice. The only uncomfortable issue we encountered was while the rooms near us were non-smoking, but as nice as the outdoor temps were, we could not leave the door open for fresh air or enjoy sitting on the porch in the rockers due to the outside smoking by others a few doors down, who seemed to be smoking a lot in their rockers. Lots of good parking available. The gals at the front desk were very helpful with requests we made, and with recommendations for restaurants and museums nearby. The walking proximity to the lovely downtown Blowing Rock area was perfect. We will definitely be returning for another stay at this lovely, well maintained inn."
