The heating system was not enough to keep bedroom warm. Not even a blanket on the bed, just a skimpy bed soread. The lighting was very bright, couldn’t use bathroom without vanity area lit.

The Acorn is a really clean, safe motel with the most kind and professional owners/staff! Our whole stay was wonderful, from how comfy the beds are and how clean the room was, to how kind and helpful the owners were to accommodate us! I would 100% recommend this motel to single travelers, couples, or families looking for a safe, cozy, and clean place to stay that is also a great value!

The towels were too thin and small. Bed cover too thin. The bed cover was not warm enough for 40 degree weather.I had to sleep with a warm up jacket over my flannel pajamas.

Parking was easy and secure. Convenient location and close to my dad, retired vet, that I take to the VA for medical appointments when coming to do a wellness check on him. My stay was pleasant, staff were nice, and it was quiet, which I truly enjoyed. The only noise was the traffic on the road. Room was clean and bed comfortable. Would stay again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Clean and neat

It was only an overnight stay, and the room was a bit spartan. However, it was quite clean and everything worked well. One a very minor problem, as noted by others, is that the toilet required a long flush or multiple flushes. My problem is that I forgot to ask for additional towels. I checked in at night and by the time I noticed that I need extra towels, I didn't think anyone would be around who could fulfill that request.

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.
