We truly enjoyed our stay at the Blackburn Inn. My husband and I are caretakers for my Daddy and this was booked as a respite get-away. Upon arrival we were met by the sweetest lady, Ms. Q. She was a warm and gracious hostess at the front desk. Later we ran into another staff, Lynn, who gave us the most amazing history lesson on The Blackburn. The room itself was clean and inviting. The bed was a little low to the floor since it was an ADA room and one side of the bed was up against a wall. This was not a huge issue though since we were only there for a couple of nights. All in all, it was an awesome, relaxing time and we plan to return and do the train package.

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!

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:(

My room was very nice but my coffee maker didn't work. I called to get it fixed and was told someone would come and fix it for by my second morning since I had to leave at 4am - no one ever did.
Other than that, the parking is easy, virtual key is great. I only saw one staff member in the hall she was very nice. Nice property and third time staying there while visiting friends.

I had a wonderful stay at the Blackburn. It was beautifully restored, combining modern comforts with the best of the historical details: high ceilings, beautiful millwork, and original pine floors. The staff was welcoming, friendly and kind. The property is large and interesting, several buildings of the original hospital will be restored at a later date. I recommend it.

The Blackburn inn is a beautiful historic property and I wish I had more time to stay to explore all they offer. Unfortunately I only had one night as a stop over in the middle of a road trip. The service I did have was fast, friendly and great! The room was clean and comfy and well appointed.

Such a great experience to stay here. Friendly staff, clean room. The squeaky stairs were sometimes loud and we could hear people walk by the room, but it wasn't horrible and it did add to the charm.

Our check-in attendants were very helpful. Our room however was in the basement of the hotel which was very cold. We could not get our room warm so they gave us a portable heater. For the most part it was clean but the side table was dusty, and there was no place to sit other than the bed. There were no instructions for the tv, no WiFi and our window looked out at large air conditioning units. The coffee machine had leftover water in it and so when we put our water in, it overflowed extremely hot coffee. The restaurant was closed to us because of an event. There also was not any complimentary coffee until 7:00 am in the restaurant bistro and the chef said that the pastries, etc were part of the breakfast which was $17.00 per person. However we could have the coffee for free. Some type of written instructions would have been helpful.
Again the staff was very helpful but overall, I most likely will not stay there again.

At 10 am nothing was left of the breakfast coffee and a cake.

The architecture is magnificent…what ia project it must have been to restore this beautiful building…and so much history. The staff was very helpful and had some stories to share. We did walk up to the top of the tower. It’s a winding staircase but it was worth it. I highly recommend this hotel for so many reasons. My only wish was that there would have been a microwave. I realize that many hotels have eliminated them, but I miss having one.

The staff was wonderful.. recommended local restaurants. Delicious food I might add. The property was clean. Super quiet. Landscaping was up-kept. Great for pictures. Plenty of parking. No major complaints. Room was small but didn’t need alot of space for one overnight. Definitely would stay again when in town

Pros: Beautiful hotel, within easy driving distance of downtown Staunton and places to hike, ample parking.
Cons: Beds were extremely uncomfortable, we slept only a few hours and woke up very sore. Paper thin walls so we could hear men yelling in the halls late at night. There are weird gaps in between the top of the bathroom walls and the ceiling so there is no privacy if you’re staying with someone and don’t want them to hear you going to the bathroom. Breakfast was $18 and consisted of eggs, bacon, and baked oatmeal. I live in a HCOL of city and could still get a much better breakfast for that price back home.

A nice try to revive a historic building but far too many elements from its time as a lunatic asylum and prison especially the original doors with the painted over little windows to peep in or remnants of hardware from heavy duty doors or restraints. Creepy! Furnishings rigid, no carpets or rugs or curtains. Cold, front desk had no extra blankets. Nice bathrooms 😅

We only stayed one night but very nice property and the staff was wonderful and very welcoming. We checked in late and left early in the morning- but staff members greeted us when we arrived and made sure we were well taken care of.

this is a beautiful property with a lot of character. Modern decor in a historical building. Beautiful views from the cupola at the top overlooking the town. The beds are very comfortable. The breakfast is delicious and the staff could not be friendlier

Loved the history and how the hotel people did not hold back on any of the history Rather they embraced it! The room was clean but would have appreciated another table for toiletries in the huge bathroom. Also thought my husband could get an adult beverage in the bistro but it was not open
We were allowed to walk the grounds and see some of the history This was a place of healing for those who struggled with mental illnesses well as a correctional facility for awhile but it was built with the hope restoration and healing Did love how the rooms while well appointed also kept a lot of the original doors and other artifacts of the history Enjoyed our stay!

The room was not cleaned properly. Crumbs on floor from previous guest. Cobwebs hanging from lights and ceiling. Very little information communicated about the hotel like check out, internet, food.

Rooms were clean and very modern, yet maintained some of the original character. I loved the orginal wood doors of some of the rooms.

What a unique location! It was beautiful inside and out. It was convenient to have the elevator and it was great to snag a cart to help with our belongings. Each staff member we met was very helpful and friendly. The shower (we had an accessible room) was wonderful. The map of the property looked like it had been a copy of a copy and was difficult to read. Having a clearer copy would be great. It would have been helpful to know in advance that we could easily come in the left side door and take the elevator to the second floor to check in rather than go up the center steps. However, a friendly couple clued us in and it saved us many steps. We will certainly stay here again when in the area.
