Ok, but not as good in the past

We've stayed at the Monte Vista before and loved the old-fashioned charm and little touches like the chocolates in the room. This stay was different. They were supposed to close for renovations earlier this summer, but those have been delayed, so the hotel feels like it's in the process of shutting down. No chocolates this time, hardly any guests. The restaurant is closed. My socks were dirty from walking on the floor of the room. Not sure I would stay here again until they decide whether they're going to remodel or not.

We really enjoyed staying at The Monte Vista during the Sourwood Festival. It was great to walk to town to eat and attend the festival. The hotel is old but very charming. It has a lot of stairs and no TV in some rooms, so be sure to book a room accordingly.
Great front porch at the hotel.

This place is a GEM. The staff was so friendly. The rooms are super cute and historic. Everything is within walking distance and you can't beat the view of mountains in the background. Their restaurant was closed as they are getting ready to renovate the entire property. Nice little bar with anything you want really. The front and back porches are so nice to sit and enjoy a cool evening. We will for sure be back after the renovations!

This was about our 10th stay. We have family in the area so we’re in Black Mountain several times a year. Our stays at the hotel are usually OK, but this was an exception. Waited to check in— no one else in line, no staff at desk. No staff available for 15-20 min. No body wash in shower though 2 shampoos; last straw was a previous visitor’s boxer briefs hung on bathroom door hook
