    I notified the Inn that we are expecting a 50% Refund on our Stay , as they are running it at less than that . For the following reasons , Advertising a Pool , when their License for it ran out at the end of September . Stuffy Room with no airflow , no Fan , and Temperature controlled by Staff , which led us to waking up in the middle of the night freezing , because the night Staff was inconsiderate of the Guests . Extra Blankets may have helped. Bath Towels barely big enough to dry off , Small Hand Soap Bars not Bath bars for Showering , No Shampoo , No Kleenex tissue . Dirt between Doors , as Front Screen Door did not close and no Handle to pull it close . Two Stink Bugs that had to be caught and flushed down the toilet . Could feel that the Carpeting was Dirty , as well as stains on the Bed Comforter . Poor Internet Caused T.V. to cut or freeze , or just stop working . We were told when we arrived that the Inn had been Sold , and it was very apparent to us . If you are going to run your Inn like this , with no Respect or Consideration for your Guests , you shouldn't be running it at all ! And for this reason we are expecting a 50% Refund , when we should probably be Fully Refunded , as it put a real Stain on our time in Asheville N.C.

    The only real downside of my stay was spotty internet connectivity, but I'm willing to chalk this up to the sort of period, time-travel element of staying here.

    We arrived to the hotel and it was soooo outdated for the price and we didn’t have AC so they offered us a fan which was a joke. The toilet was unstable and rocked back and forth. It smelled very stale. We ended up leaving and renting another place.

    The front desk people were very nice and helpful. The bathroom had some dark areas and corners that probably could be cleaned up with bleach. The rest of the bathroom area was clean. It would’ve been helpful to have had more than two small towels. Location is good for going places.

    I loved the overall feel of the motel. Even though it is dated the bed was extremely comfortable. I loved that they do fires in the pit. There are are two chairs outside each room to enjoy the scenery. Overall it's a great place to stay. I also like the fact they don't let locals stay there. Local to them is within 50 miles. I would definitely recommend this location!

    It’s a motel, of course, not a hotel, but a motel in the most retro sense of things, and they’ve done a great job taking care of it. The pool is pristine, and would be lovely on a warm evening. The rooms are clean, comfortable, cozy, and they’ve preserved the knotty pine panels (NOT paneling … knotty pine bead board), and it’s beautiful. Didn’t find a thermostat in the room, but didn’t need one—the temp was just right. Good old fashion (very clean) tile in the bathroom, nice showers and very hot water. Stayed two nights, and enjoyed sitting out in front of the room in the chairs, watching the sun go down and traffic go by. If you’re looking for a genuine motor inn, very conveniently located, and really a bit of Asheville history, highly recommend. And the price is right.

    Check in staff made us feel like an inconvenience to them, however there was a maintenance man that found me a shower chair, i am disabled and the tub/shower was very slick, there was no non- slip mat in the tub/shower, nor do they provide them. I do not plan on staying here again.

    The room was quaint but the bed was uncomfortable. We slept on a 1st floor room and at 1 am I was woken by the horrible smell of someone smoking. I have asthma therefore I woke up choking. It was as if someone was blowing smoke directly in my face. They kept happening on and off until we left at 545 am. That is the most uncomfortable, rude, smoke filled room that I have ever stayed at.

    We chose The Mountaineer based on price and on the vintage neon signage. We prefer hotels and motels with character, but the Mountaineer wasn’t just about retro charm. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, the room was cold and very quiet, and our king bed was the nicest bed that we slept in on our road trip (even better than Airbnb host beds). The inn does live up to its retro charm though, with wood accent and beautiful tiled showers. We especially liked that the rooms have wood slat screen doors in addition to the regular doors because it made it much more convenient to sit on the lawn chairs outside. We only had two nights in town so we just used the pool briefly, but it looked like a great setup to have a picnic and swim if traveling with more folks. We would recommend to anyone who appreciates a great deal and a vintage vibe.

    Fast and easy checkin process. Older property but a bit worn down. Carpeting wasn't the cleanest. Saw a big black spider in the room but not until we were ready to leave (luckily). Strong deodorant smell through the central air conditioning. Otherwise, livable for our 3 night stay.

    I understand the age of the place probably from the 70's and I am ok with that kind of cool actually , however this place is in some serious need of some updating, rooms , beds , bathroom, ect. It was kind of odd that both my wife and I needed to show our drivers licences upon check in , actually had to go get her out of the car to do so , seemed a little schetchy , check in lobby had monitors with a veiw of every part of the facilities and again made us a little concerned , all that said we didnt have any issues and left at 11the next morning , I would probably spend the extra couple bucks next time and stay somewhere else.

    The hotel has a fire pit and a nice sized clean outdoor pool. They had a pet area. The inside of the hotel was nice however the bathroom could have been cleaner and the beds were old and hard. I would say it was good for the price if you’re looking for some more outdoor time.

    The room is nice, for the price. Bed was comfortable and there is a wooden “screen” door that provides privacy but allows air (but bugs, too 😢). I did not like that I couldn’t control the temperature of my room, the shower is extremely small and needs updated!

    An Asheville landmark, this is a historic motel with a huge kitch sign depicting a "hillbilly." It's a relic of the past making it an interesting place to stay. The motel still retains some of the old atmosphere of a 1950s motel; you even say hello to your neighbors and might get into a conversation with them. The lawn and trees are nice. It's not fancy and isn't for people looking for slick modern accommodations; go to the Holiday Inn or Best Western for that. I wished they'd dim the lights along the porch at night; even with the room darkening drapes, the florescent light glares into the rooms.

    Please read that there is a deposit hold of $100. Cash or credit card. Some reviewers made negative comments. It clearly states the deposit requirement. Staff was super kind and personable. Location is walkable to restaurants , ABC liquor etc. I recommend staying here if you want to experience a part of history.

    BEDBUGS in both beds! We found them as soon as we entered the room. Took a picture of them, showed the clerk; she checked room and came back with a tissue showing some lint, not the bugs we showed her on the picture. No refund; were offered another room. (For what? More friendly bedbugs?) Also, at check-in had to give $100 cash deposit, even after having paid for the room online (since we were told it could not be booked by phone). She took my cash and refused to give me a receipt or acknowledgement of any kind. What if the document she printed and clipped to my $100 bill should be misplaced or the next morning's clerk wasn't clear on things. What business insists on taking cash and then expects you to walk out of the door with absolutely nothing in your hand showing you've paid? If something goes wrong, does one have to hope they will take your word that you paid? Only when I demanded several times did a get a copy of the document she had printed out for the hotel's records. We were not about to stay there; had to forfeit what we had paid online.

    This hotel may look cute and charming, but it is not. The room during my stay here was dirty. The mattress was one of the most uncomfortable ones I've ever slept on. The heat is controlled from the front office, and sure you can change it, but it takes hours to adjust. The first night was unbearably hot (probably close to 80 degrees). The shower was also terrible and the shower basically only dripped. Missed the first night check-in and was going to switch it to the end, which hotel staff was willing to do, but place was so awful, I decided I'd be better off simply leaving.

    We checked in late evening as our flight was a late flight to North Carolina. Front desk, door was closed, locked. Nobody in sight. We had to call the phone number and finally some young lady came from the other side of the buildings and checked us in. She looked exhausted but was friendly. We had a room in the second floor and it was old, dirty and even water bugs were on the dresser! If it had not been so late into the evening, we would had checked out. We slept with our travel clothes on, as we were afraid to open our luggage and risk bugs crawling in. The bathroom was old, ancient and didn't flush well. I would not recommend this place for the price, it was not worth it. Run down place for over $200 a night.

    Also, mos def would not recommend this motel for unaccompanied women. Everytime my daughter and I left the room some random guy would start trying to pick us up. The Saturday night we stayed these guys all sat outside their rooms and talked and laughed. Til early hours of Sunday. Never saw a sign of security personnel, and knew that calling the front desk would be useless. One of the worst booking decisions I've ever made.

    I like to support local motels instead of chains, and this one had a great staff and good climate control in the room - but otherwise, it's in need of updates. The mattress was old, there were threadbare sheets on it, stains on the bathroom floor, grit in corners, and people coming and going all night long beeping horns, putting things in coolers, walking around, and slamming car doors. If it weren't for the a/c unit's white noise, we would've gotten no sleep. Overall, not a safe-feeling or comfortable place to stay. Probably why the rates are so low.
