The Blackburn Inn and Conference Center

When we pulled into the entrance gate and I saw the magnificent view of the main building, we were blown away! The grounds and building are wonderfully maintain. The history drew me here but the sheer beauty and how they’ve retained it, leaving so much of the original structure, is such an accomplishment.

We've been coming for years, no place like it. Remarkable renovation on a storied place. If you live history and luxury, look no further.

The hotel is very nice, but the main entrance doesn’t show up on Google Maps. It’s a bit old place very close to downtown Staunton. Btw - we went for the least expensive room. Since it was on the first floor, the view was of the air conditioners. I wish I had known the location (including no above grade windows) since I would have gladly paid a little more to have more light in our room.

Beautiful historic hotel. Friendly staff. Clean spacious room. Easy walk to downtown and shopping and dining. This will definitely be our go to place to stay in Staunton!

We loved our time at the Blackburn on a family girls trip. Hotel has lots of history and wonderful, newly updated rooms. Staff was very accommodating and breakfast delicious.

The malfunctioning a/c upon our arrival and the smaller than advertised pull out couch both put a damper on our stay. Interesting if creepy history for the place as an asylum for the insane and prison until as late as 2003 something we knew about in advance.

Great

Everything was as described. Old remodeled facility. Lots of history.

Lovely discovery and highly recommend visiting this hotel.

The staff were wonderful. Travis was always super helpful and very enjoyable to talk to.

The property was historically interesting, but still has a bit of an “institutional” feel about it. The reason for the average rating mostly comes from the fact that it was challenging for me to manage bringing in the necessary bags and equipment that support my husband’s needs as a stroke survivor. I did use the bellman’s cart, which helped, but then it was difficult getting into the elevator and manage pushing the cart, then helping him to enter with his walker. When I had called to be sure that there was a restaurant on sight I was told yes, so it was a disappointment to find out that it is only open for dinners on the weekends. The young lady who prepared breakfast was most helpful, and even offered to carry my husband’s breakfast to our room, as I had my hands full. I greatly appreciated her help.

Beautiful restored property with welcoming and friendly staff.

A historic building with a lot of stories to tell! Staff was helpful and knowledgeable. Room was comfortable. A good place to home base from while exploring Staunton.

The front entrance to the hotel is confusing - my GPS didn't bring me in the road in front of the property so it took me awhile to find where to check in. There was no designated parking for check in and two sets of steps to walk up so not handicapped accessible that I could see. Same for parking by the hotel. It's not far but there were no ramps, only steps and a small one way road that I guess you could pull up and unload your suitcases but it would block the road completely. I had two rolling suitcases and other equipment and it wasn't easy to unload without making two trips.

We booked a queen bed for our anniversary. Turned out it was a full bed instead. It was so small and my boyfriend had to sleep in the floor because it was so uncomfortable. We left at 430 am on the second night because we couldn’t take it anymore.

3rd time that we have stayed there, and it just keeps getting better, and it was absolutely Great the first time. Thank You

Amazing hotel with a unique history. Absolutely wonderful and personable staff.

The room was cozy and very clean. The staff was super nice during the whole trip. Amanda went out of her way to help me. Thank you for a nice stay!

Very nice property
