Top Backbone Rock Recreation Area Hotel Reviews

Quality Inn & Suites Abingdon

10/10 Excellent

"Quiet"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Abingdon, VA

6/10 Okay

"Great breakfast, comfortable bed, but the room had a funky smell that smacks you in the face when you open the door. This must have been a smoking room back in the day, b/c you could smell the stale cigarettes. As an extra annoying cherry on top, the sheets don't fit; they are too small so as soon as you sit on the bed, they pop off the corners. Nothing catastrophic, just a bunch of petty annoyances that impact the overall impression of the place"

Delta Hotels by Marriott Bristol

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay at Delta Marriott. The rooms were very well appointed, clean bathrooms, good bedding and mattress, great free parking. Our only complaint was so little staff. The hotel felt like a ghost town. Could not even get a cup of coffee at 10am. No one in the restaurant, no one in the coffee bar. It’s like one person was running the whole place. Still had a nice stay. Went to Chili’s for dinner and a fast food for coffee in the morning. Would stay again."

Spark by Hilton Abingdon I-81 near Fairgrounds

8/10 Good

"Television had very useful subscriptions that could have been much better explained with a card left in the room. No ice buckets in the room but easily rectified at front desk. Bedding was very comfortable and bed lighting allowed for easy reading at night. We will be back."

Spring time in your own 3 acre Forest!

10/10 Excellent

"This was such a cozy cabin in an idyllic location. The views were gorgeous and the peace unmatched. The porch was the best part - since it rained most of the weekend, we got to hang out on the porch and be outside (even made s'mores!) while staying dry. I wasn't quite prepared for how steep the hill to the house was, but other than that it was a wonderful time."

Damascus Old Mill Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Spent memorial day weekend at the inn with my boyfriend and we had an amazing time.The old Mill inn was a hidden gem,the staff was super friendly and helpful the food and drinks was remarkable,I highly recommend this place and looking forward to coming back.Thank you for an amazing stay at the Old Mill inn in Damascus Virginia"
