The Bleckley Inn is a beautifully renovated, first-class property that offers outstanding value for money. Guests consistently praise the hotel's cleanliness, friendly staff, and convenient downtown location, with many calling it their favorite place to stay when visiting Anderson University. However, some guests have expressed dissatisfaction with the breakfast options, particularly for vegetarians, and a few have had issues with parking and signage for satellite rooms.

    Beautiful hotel with outstanding service. I frequent 4 and 5 star hotels, and Bleckley Inn is right with them. The breakfast was excellent, and the location next to the parking garage can’t be beat. EV chargers are available and the first two hours are free. The housekeepers are super attentive and detail oriented. Easiest check in and check out I’ve encountered. If you’re on the fence, book it. You won’t be disappointed.

Room was very nice and quiet and the milk and chocolate chip cookies was a nice treat. I highly recommend this hotel so if you are near Anderson don’t miss it!!!

    Beautiful property, lovely spacious and comfortable room. The front desk person was very welcoming. The only negative was the breakfast, which was terrible. For a vegetarian the only option was heavily cheesy potatoes. Had to ask twice for toast and it appeared after quite a long time, cold. I don't see any reason why there wasn't simply toast or rolls available at the buffet. Coffee was very weak.

    It was a great place to stay, but our room was a satellite location. Direction and signage where the worst. Parking was not convenient. Room and local restaurant were very good. Check in service needs help and inconvenient for their satellite rooms. Breakfast was good and so was the service, but had to walk about block to get there. Lucky it was was not raining. Make sure get a room at main location.

    Review for 2/2022 stay. Love the traditional/original floors and building features. Very clean and friendly staff! Buffet breakfast was delicious and we love the fresh fruit cups. We stayed at the off-site property and recommend the parking area be lighted for the guests. We arrived in the evening and it was dark and scary, although the area appears to be very safe.

    This is a better choice rather than staying on interstate motels/hotels. There are three buildings for this inn located walking distance. We stayed in the Plaza building and the room was large and comfortable. We also ate at the main dining for dinner as well as breakfast. Both excellent. It is a great place to discover Anderson! Anderson has an interesting history and southern charm just like this inn.

    Both my daughter and I heard the direction to the Plaza rooms and 20min later we still hadn't found it with the map she gave us. We were not told the construction blocked road to parking. There is promise of a decent property here but they need to hone their skills on the disjointed property if they want people to be repeat customers.

    Went to Anderson for the first time (wedding) and stayed here, which was the closest hotel to the wedding venue. I was in the 'plaza" section of the hotel, which was actually a couple blocks away on Main Street. I would suggest parking on Main Street to unload and then move your car to the free parking areas. The entrance (elevator) is right between 2 restaurants, but it's a gold elevator, so it's easier to see (even though I missed it). The room was very big with a huge bathroom. Even though I was directly on Main Street, the curtains blocked out most of the light from the street. Refrigerator in the room was nice (2 free waters). But the best part about my stay was the breakfast! I'm sometimes wary of "free breakfasts with your stay" cause I think it means bagels and cereal, but this was good stuff! They had hot egg/sausage casserole, hash brown casserole, and praline bacon! That was someone's grandmother's recipe! It was yummy! I would go back to the hotel and stay just for the breakfast!

    Hotel is picturesque but I didn’t realize I booked in a separate building a block away - not terrible but a little annoying to walk for breakfast. Breakfast was amazing!!!
