"Very nice"

Very nice and very friendly…

Robert S. (Group coordinator, booked 2 rooms)

Verified Review, stayed from Wed Oct 08 to Fri Oct 10 2025 at a $170.00 average nightly rate.

"A Beautiful Historic Hotel!"

We loved our weekend stay at the Blackburn Inn. From the moment we arrived, the staff was very friendly and accommodating. We were in town for the VA Scenic Railway train ride and the staff gave us some tips for that outing. The room was clean and had everything we needed. The Bistro has a good breakfast. We would definitely stay again the next time we are in Staunton.
