Very accommodating
The hotel is very quaint. The staff was amazing in every single way. Everyone was awesome. Great location. We ate at the restaurant and it wasn’t that good but we were impressed how accommodating they were with my husband who got sick and had to stay at the hotel. Will come back next year!

It was wonderful time! In walking distance from the downtown. There was a BBQ cook off and music at the casebook the property! The Romano the first floor give that older vibe which we love! The rooms on first floor is spacious and big. There’s no tv in the downstairs rooms. But it bears walking up the stairs bc there’s no elevator. Overall 5 stars

Go elsewhere for the time being.
We are frequent travelers and went for a couple's night away. They have a place that could be lovely, but they are missing many things. On check out, drop the "people steal our keys" and have people sign the key waiver without the comment that makes you wonder if others are still walking around with your room key. The room was so cold (no thermostat) that we literally were freezing (avoid room 4 or bring a parka). No TV of telephone is fine, but no hangers in closet? Really? Food was good but service was very poor and people were loud and drunk outside our room until 11 PM in courtyard. We wanted to sleep in, but awoke to a fire alarm at 7:10 AM on Saturday. Apology, no way! They are invested in explaining why things are, not fixing them. This is my first negative review in years.

The room was very small, doors were thin, bathroom fan didn’t work and window could not be opened even though it had a rotating handle. But honestly that was all small potatoes. This was a pretty good hotel and was definitely worth the money. It offered high end and low end rooms and we got a very cheap one. But if all you need was a clean place to sleep, this is perfect. Restaraunt had very good food, bar had very good drinks, staff was friendly. The location was just outside the town center but it’s a small town, so it was very walkable to everywhere.

Location and ambience, but…
We stay here regularly with family nearby. Location is great for enjoying Black Mountain. Front porch, lobby, backyard areas very welcoming and nice. Rooms need updating! Outdated plumbing produces no water pressure and irregular temperature. Toilet seat was very loose, which I would have reported, except that the front desk was busy.

Unfortunate
This hotel has really declined since the last time we stayed here. While we love historic spaces, this one is not being taken care of at all. Room was dusty, the bedspread had holes in it, the ceiling was stained, the shower curtain was disgusting and moldy, the Shampoo and shower gel were empty. We asked for housekeeping on our second night but never got any housekeeping so we had to dig in the closet to find some towels to use. The grounds are worn. There are no flowers blooming, and there should be. We love Black Mountain, but highly doubtful we would stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay, found the 1919 vintage hotel comfortable and well maintained. We’ll stay here again. One note, the floors and our bed was creaky, but expected in a 100 year old building.

Too many problems
Like many travelers we arrived in the area after a long drive. Our plans were to attend a show in nearby Asheville. Beginning at the 4:00 check in time, a very loud Caribbean duo began playing right below our room on the hotel front porch and continued for over an hour. This made it impossible to take a nap before our evening plans. The only response from the front desk was a half hearted apology The room's air conditioner could not cool the room and the fan in the closet was caked in filth. We dined in the hotel and an ordered medium rare burger came super well done. They also managed to serve the wrong selected eggs at breakfast. All in all I cannot recommend this hotel.
