Great Stay!

The high ratings on most travel sites for the Embers are well deserved. We found the hotel to be very clean. Ben and Thomas at the front desk were both very courteous and helpful. The only negative was jackhammering in the middle of one night by the NC DOT. But that’s not the hotels fault of course. The restaurant on site is excellent as well as the service. Will be returning!

Hotel is beautiful, conveniently located, newer, wonderful service, and above expectations. enjoyed the restaurant and the ambience. Perfect choice for this area. That was a little soft and uncomfortable for me as I don’t care for memory foam, but some may. Everything else fabulous.

The Embers is perfeclty located in downtown Blowing Rock offering easy access to the main street restaurants and shops. The property was clean and fresh and has great views of the surrounding area. It also has a great bar and restaurant onsite. We could not have been more pleased with the accomodations and overall experience.
Joel, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Isaac, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!

I recently stayed at the Embers for one night and wish I had a longer stay. the location was very private and beautiful. the area around it in Blowing Rock is great, with lots of dining options. the rooms are spacy. I had the single king size room . the bathrooms and showers are just beautiful and they have all the essentials you need. Very Clean, beds are comfortable, coffee water & expresso available in your room. robes and slippers are provided

8/10 Very good

A hotel above and not just in altitude.

Super stay of 5 nights over the July 4th weekend. Room was on 2nd floor facing the town. Afforded us with great view, nice cool morning and afternoon, evening breeze. Were able to view from the balcony the parade on morning of the 5th and then a surprise viewing of fireworks display from a nearby location, all from the balcony. We mostly came up for the cooler air, but got so much more. Hotel has only one guest elevator that was out of service for a few hours. We went out and upon returning found it was repaired. Great job to the management for getting this attended to so quickly. Just a couple of suggestions. First is to get the main entry doors on automatic electric openers. This really should be a priority, comifrom someone that has been involved in hotel construction for many years. 2nd is, and trying to be picky, but the young lady that was attending the bar really would be so much better with a smiling attitude towards the guests. She always appeared to be so busy that it was too much trouble when asked for assistance. Yes, she did the job, but given the bar is a prominent focal point when entering the hotel, the attitude displayed is very much also a focal point. Food for thought. Thank you for a wonderful time. We will return.

No room service. They have take out but it comes in boxes. You order at the bar and take the carton to your room. You have to eat out of the carton since no plates were provided. Had no choice. My wife hurt her feet hiking and could not walk and go to the dining room.
Manfred, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

No sleep-disturbingly loud AC and so close to bed!

Horrible stay, beautiful looks aren’t everything. The worst of all which impacted us the greatest was the extremely loud AC in the room. Plus, the AC unit was within mere inches from the left side of the bed and blew directly onto you all night. No regular pillows were provided, only down. The elevator was directly across from the room and the elevator announced through a speaker what floor, and other instructions. The walls were also very thin and you could hear the TV playing next door. From the main entrance you walk right into the lobby which is also the restaurant, wide open with no separation. It was very loud from the acoustics and not private. I cannot state enough how very loud the AC was - it was like I was traveling under the body of an 18-wheeler all night. Never have I experienced this before. As a result, neither of us managed to sleep. Upon check out the attendant asked us how our stay was and offered to comp our breakfast but we had already eaten somewhere else off the property so all we got was a sorry to hear that. The prices are astronomical and with a brand new hotel you would expect much better.

Excellent property from top to bottom! Beautiful clean hotel with a laidback vibe! The staff warm, friendly and accommodating. The restaurant was wonderful! Right in historic Blowing Rock. Less than 2 miles from the park! We will be staying here again!
