Bleckley Inn

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
Cons:
— the fitness room was semi far in a basement that reeked of mold and mildew!!! I have allergies and get shots and I couldn’t be down there for more than 3 mins without eyes watering and sneezing. There are several other spaces that could go! Needless to say I did not work out!
— they are renovating the park outside and there was an odd smell in my room from the construction
— every time I went to take a shower it seemed several gnats had congregated in the tub
I would stay here again as I think overall it was good. I would give it 3.5 stars.

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 décor to the location, you cannot beat this place as a home away from home. Just loved this place.
Breakfast was beyond wonderful! We gained five extra pounds as we enjoyed the brown sugared bacon, grits, eggs strata, fresh fruit, pastries, cereals, coffee and many more items from which to select. We hit the jackpot with this property!
Thanks so much to the owners, Steve and Lynn Kay, for making this a ‘go-​to’ place to stay and maintaining the rich history. We loved the elegance and sophistication of the property. It was hard to leave!
If you have not been to the Bleckley Inn, I recommend booking your room quickly! We were lucky to have the opportunity to spend time there.

The Inn is beautiful, clean and well decorated. The staff is very attentive and kind. Our room had blackout drapes, granite and stone bathroom, keurig, iron and ironing board, mini fridge, laundry service, good air conditioning. I could have slept in the bed all day long it was so soft and comfy. Great location too!

Awesome! Beautiful room! Lovely hotel. We stayed in a plaza room right on Main Street (there are two locations — the plaza is right on main and the main hotel is just behind main) everything is gorgeous… really classy finishes and CLEAN!
There’s a high end little kitchenette in the room and a coffee pot and robes and the whole nine yards. Even chocolate on the bed! There’s also a rooftop sitting area that’s just for guests. We went up with two glasses of wine after a long road trip… and had it to ourselves. It was perfect. Put our feet up and just chilled. Really wonderful. Looking forward to the included free breakfast at the main hotel this morning.
Be sure to visit Johnny Angels for happy hour and Summa Joe’s for dinner!

Perfectly delightful! Well thought out design down to the smallest detail with fine appointments. Lovely, quaint, downtown setting. Already planning to return.

Our family of 3 was in town for a reunion and we had a lovely stay at The Bleckley. Our suite, or rather apartment, in the main building was charming and super spacious! I was stunned when we checked in and realized we had a full kitchen with a dining area, and a proper laundry room! It’s so nice to see an old building brought to life and the Bleckley has done it with style!
Would be an amazing venue for a big event, wedding etc…

What a great place! Highly recommend as the rooms were huge and very clean. Breakfast was great as well and chef was very accommodating to me as a vegetarian. Would love more fruit/​healthy options for breakfast but can’t really complain. Would stay here again:

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.
The place is central and lovely and the rates were extremely competitive.

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.

Love this place. Great location and beautiful room. We met the owner and he is super nice. We will definitely stay there again when we are back up that way.

The place is awesome on a variety of levels:
1. Had my daughters wedding reception and the groom’s family had the rehearsal dinner there — the service and help the staff gave was first class the entire weekend.
2. As part of our package we had all of the rooms (suites) rented. You could not ask for a better room with a full kitchen, bath, sitting room etc. And oh, how that bed slept.
3. The food, as part of the deal was a free breakfast which was one of the best I have ever had. The Almond Bacon is super thick and out of this world — if you are in the Anderson Area and just want a great breakfast buffet — I highly recommend just coming in and getting the buffet from the Bleckley.
So overall, I cannot say enough about this place for the service, accommodations and the food. Great stay. A thank you from everyone involved in the McMann-​Laney Wedding.

Very nice
A hidden gem
Underrated
A wonderful experience
I’d recommend with little to no hesitation

The Bleckley Inn is simply world class.
The rooms rank with Inns in Italy, Ireland etc only better and no I am not exaggerating. The breakfast is quite good but they do need less starchy and sweet offerings. The help is nice and helpful.
Go !!

This is one of Andersons hidden treasures. Absolutely beautiful inn. Rooms are beautiful. This is where my cousins are staying and I cannot tell you how impressed I was with this lovely Inn that is right in downtown Anderson.

Best Inn! The rooms were very comfortable with everything we needed. Milk and cookies served at night and an awesome breakfast in the morning. The staff and owners were very nice and attentive and we were close to lots of shops, restaurants and pubs.
