Here are a few of my chief complaints: 1) There was no one to check me in when I arrived late after a long flight from California. After standing in the empty front room for a while, I saw a small sign saying to call a number to check in. I called twice before an insolent teen in sweatpants finally showed up to give me my key. 2) The inn adds a daily "tip" for room cleaning on top of an already high bill. (This is one of the more splurgey places to stay in the Black Mountain area.) If that wasn't rude enough, no one ever came by during my three-night stay to clean/tidy the room. The toilet bowl had dirt marks all over it when I showed up and there they stayed for the duration of my visit. No one made the bed. 3) Internet did not work. 4) Breakfast begins late -- at 8.30am -- because the chef has to take his five children to school. Seriously. So if you're staying there for work, as I was, you have to get breakfast elsewhere. That being said, after a lengthy argument with aforementioned insolent teen, the chef prepped me some breakfast items before he left for the night and left them in the fridge. That was very sweet of him.

I have stayed here twice, both times in the upper right-hand room with access to the wonderful covered porch. Rooms are comfortable, yet not fancy, and the innkeeper's, long-time Black Mountain residents, are delightful people who go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable. Have stayed most everywhere in Black Mountain, and this is my second favorite place. Recommend it highly.

This was a cute inn we decided to stay at while visiting Black Mountain. You can't beat the price…read moreespecially if you aren't planning on being in the room too often. The inn itself was super cute and cozy. The room was simple and small, but it worked. The bed and pillows weren't the comfiest, but again, for one night it was fine. They offered a dinner special which included filet mignon but we decided to go out instead. They do have a cute bar and patio, as well as rocking chairs out front. We had a night cap and sat outside for a little which was nice. For a quick one night stay, this inn is a good option.

Near the town square, the red brick historic Monte Vista hotel's large lobby warms your cold hands…read moreas the crackling fire illuminates the entire room with warmth and light. Relax on the cozy couches or check out the elbow room art gallery filled with local art. Tables from Southern Proper Hospitality's Milton's dots the lobby and adjacent rooms, and a large bar opens to the beautiful outdoor patio with a lounge and fireplace area! Upstairs, the beautiful hardwoods stretch into each room. Inside the room, beautiful wood pieces, original hardwood floors, and comfy bed invites you to stay the night. The beautifully renovated bathroom is bright and light! This historic hotel dates back to 1917 when a school was converted into the hotel with 33 rooms. In 1937 the building added the brick, while in 1950 a new wing was added. As a staple of the community, it has been renovated over the years but the touches and charm are still there to see! The most striking of the 1917 originals are the beautiful, original hardwood floors. Then, in 1975 a new building was built. So, the Monte Vista with its crackling fire and beauty has been housing and holding people since 1917! That's over 100 years! I read the recent reviews. I didn't have any issues with noise and was in the main building on the corner with a beautiful room. I'd make sure you were in the main building. Also, the staff at the front desk are amazing!!

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.
