My family and I had a comfortable stay at the Inn at Blackstone. Once an all-girls college turned hotel, it was a great place to host our family reunion. Upon arrival, you couldn't help but notice the fairly large property tucked away at the end of a long country road. The grounds were well-kept, and check-in was a breeze. The staff was friendly, professional, and consistently engaged in polite conversations.
The accommodations were fine after some additional love and care. There were a few things housecleaning missed, but it wasn't enough to deeply impact our stay. The Patriarch King Room was spacious. It included a kitchen, full-size fridge, stovetop, microwave, dishwasher, and large wall unit with television. We loved the layout and the view of the patio from our window; however, the squeaky wooden floor and shower door were a bit noisy--nothing they can't fix.
The complimentary breakfast was decent, and the seating in the Acorn Room was sufficient for couples and larger groups to socialize.
One thing I will say is that we felt well cared for during our stay, never overlooked. We enjoyed walking around the grounds, hanging out on the outdoor patio, which was beautifully lit with rustic lights, and the children in our group had a great time in their indoor pool. Overall, everyone we encountered- both guests and workers- was genuinely nice, which we really appreciated.
In addition, this pet-friendly hotel made it easy for us to bring our fur babies along. They pretty much went wherever we went no questions asked, it was quite liberating, to say the least.
If you're looking to visit the Blackstone area and searching for a property that maintains its small-town charm, while providing a peaceful, calm, retreat-like setting, then consider this hotel. I would recommend it. read more
