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.

Located in a fantastic mountain setting, it is truly a retreat center and offers hospitality not found at commercial hotels. It is only a few steps from the Presbyterian's Assembly Inn and several miles to the Baptist's Ridgecrest and the YMCA's Blue Ridge Conference Center. We give it an A+ rating in every respect.

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.

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!!

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 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.
