“My impression is that Holiday Inn Express Blowing Rock South has rooms that are generously sized, with big windows and plenty of space to hang belongings, though some prior guests have mentioned issues with cleanliness and noise. While breakfast is available, it's best to arrive early, as replenishing items seems to be an issue from what I've gathered. If you are looking for an affordable accommodation with basic amenities, and don't mind some potential inconveniences, this could be an acceptable option.”
