Excellent choice for a good night's sleep!

This was a great place to stay for the night so that we could wake up where we wanted to be for the day. The hotel was completely clean and comfortable, and we got a good night's rest. We felt safe and secue. I don't think I would stay here for a long vacation, as it really doesn't have any amenities. BUT, since we only planned to arrive late at night and leave early in the morning, it was great! If you're looking to arrive at Biltmore when then open, this is a great place to stay! Affordable price. Right in the middle of downtown Black Mountain - a charming town.

Owner is very nice. They are working very hard fixing the place up! Room and grounds very clean. Older motel but updates make it comfortable. Being able to park right in front of your door is very convenient! Will stay here again!

Location & Price, I’ve stayed here a few times. Parking in front of room excellent. Lobby/check in would have been improved by multiple boxes stacked in corner being removed. Llack of tv guide in room frustrating. Gnats in sink area disappointing.

Perfect for our 2 night stay. Nothing fancy…clean and safe. Less than a mile walk to downtown. Great breakfast across the street. Allows dogs and has a nice grassy area outside of our door. We would definitely visit again.

The inside of my room was nice and so was the bed. The air conditioning was in a weird location making it hard to keep the room cool. Seemed to be a work crew of some kind staying there riding a bus in and out , the manager had his office locked so you rang a bell to get him. I had unsafe vibes from the people there.

This has been my regular place to stay since I have been traveling here for work. The rooms have been recently refurbished and always clean. Black Mountain is a cool small mountain community town with nice shops and restaurants to visit. Asheville is only about 15 minutes away making it well worth it as a place to stay.
