This is the third visit that my family has made to Anderson for a graduation and 2 weddings over the last few years. All the wedding festivities were held at the Bleckley. The guest rooms are beautiful and spacious. No detail has been overlooked. Located downtown so close to great restaurants. Highly recommend!

We chose The Bleckley Inn as our wedding venue and couldn’t have been happier! Shelby was incredible and walked us through every step of the way. It was such a unique venue with modern decor and lots of character. Plus we had the entire property to ourselves the whole weekend! The rooms are absolutely breathtaking and the food was incredible! If you’re considering this as your venue or just for a hotel stay, you absolutely should!

I loved staying at the Bleckley Inn! The rooms were beautiful. The breakfast each morning was delicious and my server Katie was a gem! She took incredible care of each guest that walked in. I had 8 guests join me for dinner one night and the Chef provided each of us with the most delicious meal. Every person raved about their dish! It was nice that the Chef also came by our table to check in on us to make sure everything was ok. Our waitress for dinner was amazing too! I can't remember her name but she had a beautiful accent and made sure we all had what we needed. Shelby was accommodating to my

We booked the Bleckley Inn for our daughter’s wedding and we could not have been more pleased with our experience. We initially met with Shelby and she led us through the process of booking and planning our stay for the wedding weekend. Throughout the planning process Shelby was extremely helpful, responding to questions promptly, and went above expectations to accommodate us. Thank you Shelby! The Inn is so beautiful, the staff was wonderful, and the weekend was perfect. I could go on but I can assure you would not regret choosing the Bleckley Inn for an event or just a weekend getaway.

My #1 concern at a hotel is cleanliness and The Bleckley Inn was very clean. I always check closely.
It’s a beautiful old building that has been updated but kept so much charm. The location was nice. We walked to restaurants and even a chocolatier. Parking was not an issue. I will stay here anytime I travel yo Anderson.

My husband and I stayed for one night for our anniversary! Our first thought was how clean the building looked, but were blown away with the character and unique details. The location is amazing; right on Main Street, the ceilings are high, and they left chocolate on our pillow, which was such a sweet touch. We did have one small issue with our bed sheets being the wrong size which took a bit to sort out because it was late at night, but after explaining it to staff in the morning they made it right:) The breakfast was also very good and the room it was in felt so classy lol. We can’t wait to

This inn was outstanding. Spacious, clean, aesthetically pleasing rooms. Huge bathrooms, which helps with a family of four. Pleasant surprise was milk and cookies offered in the evening. Breakfast was included and it was such a peaceful, relaxing environment with delicious food and service. 5+ stars. Would definitely stay here again when back in Anderson.

The room was super clean with high ceilings, comfortable bed and very spacious bathroom. There was a custom molded chocolate on our bed...the chocolate came from a local chocolatier. Milk & cookies from 8-10 in the upstairs ice room, which was a really nice little perk. The included breakfast was AWESOME...egg/sausage casserole, hash brown casserole, grits, praline bacon, yogurt parfaits, pastries, fruit, oj/coffee, etc. If we are ever in Anderson again, we will be staying here. The staff was also extremely friendly and helpful. There was also in-room coffee and two bottles of water in the

Visited 3/5/2020 - I came here here with my girlfriend who was in town for a business conference. We generally stay at the large hotel brands but decided to try local and were really impressed.
They offer complimentary breakfast which consist of buffet style and typical American breakfast offerings. The Inn is historic and has that look and feel of old time luxury with high ceilings, wood floors, and massive foyer/staircase with beautiful chandelier.
They have free WiFi and I was able to get a lot of work done at the desk located in the room, in addition to getting great sleep on their oversized

I can't believe Anderson has an upscale hotel like this! I'm from here but live in Atlanta and stayed here for a work trip. The staff was attentive, went above and beyond and treated you like family. Lets talk about the breakfast, you will never find a breakfast like this in any upscale chain hotel provider. I give the cheese hashbrowns and Praline Bacon 5 stars alone! The beds were like jumping into a pile of marshmallows, extremely comfortable. Next time you're in the area or even if you need a "staycation", you certainly won't be disappointed!

My wife and I got married at the Bleckley Inn in 2015. We returned this weekend for our four year anniversary. The experience exceeded all expectations. There was a very thoughtful hand written note waiting for us in our room, along with chocolate covered strawberries and a bottle of sparkling cider (wife is pregnant). The breakfast was as spectacular as I remembered. Whether you are looking for a wedding venue or just a weekend getaway, I give the Bleckley Inn my highest recommendation.

Beautiful venue & Inn. Tasty breakfast daily in venue location; a two block walk from Inn accommodations. The rooms are cozy, well furnished & thoughtfully designed. The missing star was because the heater didn't work in room 103, with freezing temperatures outside. Convenient to downtown restaurants & charming evening walks.

Elegant inn with breakfast! Stayed at the Plaza section, which is 1 1/2 blocks away from the main inn and was $25 less. Huge ceilings, soft sheets and plump towels ! We had a corner room (105) with views of the quiet street from the second floor. Highly recommend this place. The main inn had breakfast with egg strata, grits, pastries, yogurt parfaits, sausage and bacon and potato casserole. All very good.

WOW!! WOW! JUST WOW! We stayed at the Bleckley for a VERY significant college reunion...1/2 a century. The entire inn is gorgeous, luxurious, intriguing, tastefully decorated...Our two Queen room was clean, no objectionable smells. The bathroom/dressing area was HUGE; no bumping elbows trying to get ready. There is complimentary bottled in the fridge. The mattresses were indescribably comfortable. The lobby area is appointed with comfortable sofas, loveseats, slipper chairs, interesting art work and historical information.
And then the meals. Complimentary breakfast consisting of hash brown casserole

I really wanted to love this place, but the last two hours in my room were terribly noisy. We had finished a fresh, delicious breakfast downstairs and wanted to rest until we needed to check out. From a little after 9am to 11am when we checked out, there was non stop noise from the Inn workers breaking down a wedding setup on the floor below us. It would have been nice if they could have started the work closer to noon when people either check out or go out. Other than that issue the room was great with a kitchen, dining area, and living room. The bed was a little on the worn side, but the sheets

The Bleckley Inn is FAR & AWAY the BEST option in the Anderson, SC area, and quite possibly the best hotel option in the entire upstate of South Carolina.
Now I know that sounds like an exaggeration, but trust me on this one! I live in NYC and I've traveled and stayed in some incredible hotels in Seattle, San Francisco, Tel Aviv Israel, London, Sydney, and Paris and The Bleckley is on par with any of those hotels in terms of quality, design, and comfort.
You couple the level of excellence with its incredible affordability and you've got an A++++ experience all around. The staff

I had a work trip in Anderson and chose to stay at the Bleckley Inn. From the friendly staff, comfortable bedding (you feel like you are laying on a pillow of clouds), robes hanging in the closet, water bottles stocked in the refrigerator, and all the extras. They made my stay feel very comfortable. Thank you for your attention to details, it did not go unnoticed. If you are ever in Anderson SC you must stay here, you won't be sorry. Whenever we go to Anderson that's where we will be staying. I can't wait until my next time.

So I really enjoyed staying here while in town for work as opposed to a chain hotel. When I called to book a room, there were none available for the whole time but the lady actually moved things around so I could stay there, and I actually got a suite! The bedding was to die for and the DirecTV in the rooms was nice. Once I figured out how to work the AV units those were great too.
Pros:
- Right in downtown Anderson so easily walkable to shops and restaurants
- Bedding in the rooms is 600 thread count and feels like you're laying on a cloud!
- nightly milk and cookies
- free breakfast

Highly recommend staying at this lovely hotel. It is a GEM! My husband and I usually stay at another hotel close to the interstate. However, my sister who lives in Anderson suggested that we stay at the Bleckley Inn as she had heard many wonderful things about it. Was she ever right!!!! So glad that we took her advice. The hotel is just lovely and the staff was wonderful. We enjoyed eight glorious days at this boutique hotel and pinched ourselves for finding this place. The owners, Steve and Lynn Kay, have made this property a 'must-stay' destination. From the beautiful decor to the location

Work recently had a departmental conference at Bleckley Inn. It is beautiful The ceilings in the rooms soar and the setting/décor is the perfect blend of true restoration + modern upscale comfort.
The dining area / continental breakfast are is lovely with a centered sky light. Huge sitting area and sweeping staircase in the lobby. Smallish conference are, but plenty big for our group of 10.
I believe I heard that there are 15 rooms in the main building + 10 more on main street, accessible by a secure elevator that opens to the street. My room was HUGE and sleep was restful and very comfortable

Gorgeous room. Stayed in the annex a block away by the courthouse over the J Peter restaurant. No idea what the rooms are like in the main inn, but these are beautifully restored with hardwood floors, large bathrooms and the most magnificent sheets in the world. Don't hesitate to stay here if the main inn is full.
