Our stay at Blackburn Inn was one to be remembered with all the history it holds. The room was clean and comfortable but the breakfast, for the type hotel, does not equate. If you stay here, and I recommend you do, go elsewhere for breakfast. It's more like a contential breakfast served at your table. They had run out of napkins so we got brown "service station" paper towels after the silverware was placed on the naked table. The eggs (over medium, scrambled) were cooked to brown and the belgian waffles were nothing more than small, square Eggos. The waiter however, was very nice and knowledgeable about the hotel and the area and offered sites to see and things to do. Don't let the breakfast keep you from visiting The Blackburn Inn.

Short visit but the property was well maintained. Front desk staff very friendly. Rooms were clean - some larger than other but all amenities needed were available.

My room was spacious. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom was particularly nice with plenty of room. I appreciate a shower with good water pressure, and my bathroom had that. Love the view from the cupola and walk surrounding it.

A pleasant surprise and the loveliest of rooms. I was in town for Shakespeare and my friends' hotel was unavailable. In the end, I was happy for that. Everything was closer than a 15 minute walk. I enjoyed the art gallery on the 3rd floor! The staff was welcoming and helpful. I will be returning!

This is an old-school inn in Staunton, which is a pretty town with lots of great restaurants. Both breakfast and dinner options were abundant. There was construction going on, involving the opening of a new building, but it did not impact my stay. This being Virginia, there was a smoking area on the end of the front porch, which felt quite genteel. Would stay again if the price is discounted.

Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

The Blackburn Inn is such an interesting place to stay. Rich in history and very well maintained. I appreciated that the building still carries much of the details of its past. The only downfall was that construction was being done on one of the buildings (but yay for expansion!) so it was a little less pleasing to the eye. Breakfast was delicious and I enjoyed talking to the staff about the history of the building and some surrounding buildings. Would absolutely stay here again!

We had an issue finding a room that was available but Gwen was extremely motivated to find me a room. The room was comfortable with a nice sized bath. Perfect for a single traveler. I also had breakfast which was delicious. The grounds are beautifully kept and great for a morning walk.

Nice place to stay. I will again. When I got to my room, there wasn't any towels. It was taken care of immediately and I got a complementary breakfast out it which was also fantastic. Thanks Blackburn. See you again

It was an ok last minute stay. The property is being renovated so construction began early on Monday morning. There were cobwebs in our room and the floor was gritty. I just don’t think they were expecting guests maybe so the few hours booking notice wasn’t enough. I think I would choose elsewhere next time. The shower and showerhead were the nicest part of our stay. The gentleman at check in did offer some suggestions for dinner and that was helpful.
