The front desk person from 3 pm until 11 pm, probably should consider a different career given the obvious torture she appears to be in at work. Our stay is always exceptionally nice, with the exception of any afternoon or early evening contact we are forced to make with the unhappiness at the front desk. Cheers!

Everything was amazing except the host Stacy! She is so aggravating and made our stays very anxious! She is not cut out for the hospitality business. It’s bad enough that I will not stay there if she remains as a host!

Everything was perfect except: the host named Stacy. She is so aggravating, does not belong in the hospitality business. Thankfully she was there the first night only. The others were wonderful.

Everything at Embers was top notch! Staff, property, room, even the dining, which I find most hotel restaurants are mediocre at best. NOT HERE! We can't say enough good about this place! Location was great with other restaurants and shops in walking distance. We will be back!

Excellent Hotel in the heart of Blowing Rock

The Embers is absolutely beautiful - well designed and clean, smells amazing and the rooms were better than expected and very well appointed. The staff were always friendly and helpful, and even called before we arrived to let us know our room was upgraded due to discrepancies between the booking site I used and the rooms available. This when I didn't even realize there was a problem! Parking was easy and the hotel felt accessible yet secure. The location is excellent, within walking distance to downtown Blowing Rock. There were thoughtful design touches that made a difference; such as the option to select from a regular or rain shower head, the bedside reading lights and the in-room fridge and coffee options. It was wonderful to arrive to super comfortable beds and a cozy room after an eight hour train delay. Thank you so much for the wonderful stay!

Smells like a fire pit

Hotel smelled like wood-burning fire. The smoke from the fireplace at the ground level was even noticeable on the 3rd floor hallway and in bed. The window a/c-heater sounded like a loud propeller 2 feet away from the bed. I could not sleep. Otherwise, the location is great, directly off Main Street w all the shops. The staff was super nice and accommodating. The restaurant food was good. The bar and restaurant area was nice. But I would not stay there again due to the smell and noise.

Smells good, very nice rooms, really high quality amenities, and an excellent restaurant with great cocktails and thoughtful wine list. TVs are new and have a built in Roku (idk if it’s actually Roku but you can sign in to Netflix and stuff). Very nice hotel. Google says 3 star but it’s closer to a 4 star hotel IMO.

We had a great stay here. Staff was very friendly, it’s clean, nice bar area. As others mentioned, the heating/ac unit has a mind of its own. The temp you set it to is arbitrary. The same temp can be way too warm or too cold. Lots of noise from the room above ours so next time I’d get a room on the top floor. Would definitely stay again.
