6/10 Good

Lost some of the charm

I don't know if it because of new ownership and transition, but my wife and I were commenting that it seems like the soul is gone from the Monte Vista. I officiated a wedding there several years ago and it seems like a lot of the charm of the facility is missing. That charm is the main reason I booked there. I hope that it comes back.

If you want everything perfect go to super 8 but this place is awesome! Nice clean room, friendly staff, and beautiful property. You’ll get squeaky floors and no tv in your room. But you’ll get something away from the typical. Support local in this great little mountain town and enjoy a night without the tv blaring.

The room was spacious and clean; staff was very nice and walked us straight to our room. Staff also provided recommendations for breakfast, since the restaurant was closed.

I liked the location and proximity to the town’s restaurants and shops. The environment felt more like staying in a home than a hotel which made for a comfortable stay.

My wife and I stayed here for a couple nights because of the affordable rates. Hunter, the bartender was great. We met a number of people from SC also getting away for the weekend. Food was great in the Hotel and Black Mountain. Highly recommend Fresh brick oven pizza. Enjoyed our stay. We’d recommend it

Very accommodating

The hotel is very quaint. The staff was amazing in every single way. Everyone was awesome. Great location. We ate at the restaurant and it wasn’t that good but we were impressed how accommodating they were with my husband who got sick and had to stay at the hotel. Will come back next year!

Very clean, comfortable room in a lovely older building. Excellent meal and service in the Garden room. Very friendly staff. Older guests should be aware of elevator. Hope to return.

6/10 Good

The property is conveniently located in walking distance to downtown Black Mountain, NC. It's hard to get a good feel of a hotel when looking just at photographs. The room was very small. And I'm not convinced it was a Queen size bed. Although they claim all of their rooms are Queen size, unless you pay extra for the king. The rooms are not well kept Resulting in large cracks and small holes in the ceiling and walls so i cut them some slack due to the recent hurricane flooding in the area, although I'm not sure it affected this hotel. On the plus side, it is a dog friendly hotel, but for the price, I don't think you get your money's worth.
