Hampton Inn Blue Ridge
Good breakfast. Great location with ability to easily walk to restaurants and shops. The only complaint ( which only bothered us early in the morning) was the train horn is very loud in the hotel rooms.

Reid Ridge Lodge
The room looks fantastic. The best were very comfortable. There was no breakfast to speak of the rooms are in no way soundproof you hear everything from every other room. Bring earplugs. It’s in a great location though.
