I have stayed here twice, both times in the upper right-hand room with access to the wonderful covered porch.

Have stayed most everywhere in Black Mountain, and this is my second favorite place. Recommend it highly.

This hotel is right off the exit across a little bridge crossing the river. I was not aware until…read morewe arrived that this was where the huge flood / Hurricane occurred in Sept 2024. We always book Hilton Brand hotels. It was cold and snowy and just such a pretty area. Upon arrival the desk clerk informed me this hotel had flooded all the way up to the ceiling on the first floor and a few amenities were not avail. Such as the Pool, fitness center and first floor rooms. They were just waiting on paint and some furniture and they would be good as new. Don't let that hinder your visit . Out of every single Hampton Inn I have ever stayed at ( which is a lot) this room was the most comfortable room. So nice and clean and the beds were so comfortable. Shower was nice and big. Everything appears to be brand new. Check this Hampton inn out. It's a 20 minute drive to Asheville and I highly recommend it. 10/10.

We stayed here during the 4th of July holiday weekend. We had recently driven through the area and…read morenoted this location and did a bit of research online. We have traveled throughout areas of the country and rarely see any hotel that has consistent 5 star reviews. However, this hotel does. We made our reservations online through the Hilton website and felt good about the price. We arrived on a Sunday afternoon after checking in on the Hilton app. We typically bypass the front desk since we utilize the digital key but we did stop in and chat with the woman at the front. The hotel appears to be very clean and well taken care of. In addition to assorted snacks and drinks they also have Black Mountain t-shirts, sweatshirts, stickers, etc. There is a nice outdoor patio with fire pit and indoor pool off of the lobby. We also learned there are free laundry facilities. Our room was located on the 3rd floor and was clean, comfortable, and spacious. We noticed three or four large tour buses in the parking lot when we arrived but we did not hear any of our neighbors over the course of the two nights. We would absolutely recommend staying here if you are in the area and we will likely be back as we continue to explore North Carolina.

BEWARE. Do NOT book this place! Read the other reviews, too. I felt so scammed. Thankfully my…read morecredit card company ruled in my favor and I got a full refund. I booked a stay here via AAA. The Inn's address given to me by AAA was (and still is) incomplete - which is the responsibility of the owner to maintain - and address given on Google was (and still is) incorrect. I was not able to find the establishment because of this negligence - I was navigated to the opposite side of town. I had to book a different hotel after a 10 hour drive and after an hour of trying to find this place in a random neighborhood. When I spoke to the owner on the phone the next morning (she wasn't answering my repeated calls at 8pm despite knowing her guest never arrived), she said she was aware of these issues, that other guests had the same problem I did, yet she had not taken measures to update her listings on AAA or Google - and was unwilling to give me a refund. She was also quite rude. Months later, I am seeing that the address has not been corrected by the owner for either online listing. Clearly the owner doesn't care if her would-be guests are inconvenienced or can't find the place, given that she has a "no refunds" policy. Other information on the Inn's AAA and Google listings was misleading and incorrect (there's actually a quite limited check-in time, breakfast is not offered, etc.), and if correct information had been provided I would not have booked with them to begin with. Agents with AAA attempted to reach the owner to tell her to update the information on the listing, too. Furthermore, when I was booking my alternate stay at a nearby hotel (Hampton Inn in Black Mountain - really nice stay, such nice people!), they said they've had other guests that booked with the Black Mountain Inn, took one step inside, and turned right back around! If anyone else runs into the same issue: file a dispute with your credit card company if possible. I made my case based on the aforementioned information, and they issued me a full refund.
