ザ モンテ ビスタ ホテル(The Monte Vista Hotel)

I love older properties and thought this little hotel was very special. I especially loved all the Christmas decor and the staff was friendly and very helpful. Thank you.

Restaurant was great but room felt worn out--dings in the wall from the absence of doorstoppers, scrapes and scratches. Deadbolt on door was only functional from the inside and did not work with the key from the hallway. Wood floor felt funky like it hadn't been mopped in ages. Heater in room seemed to not work very well. Breakfast options were limited. Staff were helpful and kind for the most part--hung the "do not disturb" sign on door, but still had a cleaner try to enter the room and seemed surprised to find someone inside....hence the sign. This has happened at a couple of hotels recently--are DND signs superfluous now? Enjoyed fire pit outside and rockers on front porch. At one point saw someone in the evening napping on a couch in the lobby area and watching a movie on a laptop. I went back two hours later and she was still there....unsure if this was a staff person taking it easy or a guest treating the area like her living room--seemed odd. Nice art gallery right beside hotel which is worth checking out and a good location to walk into town or to the lake.

Beautiful historic property that is a welcome change from the standard "chain" hotels. I personally do not mind at all that there aren't TVs in every room, the old hard wood floors creak and the rooms are heated by radiators. I think these things add to the character of the place. The lobby, bar and restaurant area was a fun bustle of activity each night. Easy walking to the "down town" area with numerous shops and dining options. The small continental breakfast was simple but all I needed and the coffee was good! If you have to have all of the modern amenities of a chain hotel, by all means, stay at one! I really enjoyed the Monte Vista Hotel and will be happy to stay there again!

Location was great. Room was spacious. Continental breakfast could be better. There was no control/thermostat for heat in our room. One thermostat in the hall covered the whole wing.

The Monte Vista hotel was cute, unique and very clean! The patio area with the fire pit was lovely! They don't tell you when you make the reservation, but you have to have to make reservations for the restaurant (they don't do walk-ins even if you're staying there). So unfortunately we were unable to try the food. The room was cute and VERY clean! The floors were squeaky (it's a historic hotel of course) but this made it noisy from the people above us when they walked in the night. The workers were all very friendly and helpful! The only thing that was less than desirable was the Continental breakfast. Very limited options and the main option was a jimmy dean frozen biscuit that was soggy. Other than that, highly recommend and would stay here again! Cute area and easy to walk to night life!

Our stay at the Monte Vista was incredible. It had all of the charm and feel of an old hotel that catered to its customers needs. The lobby, restaurant, and bar made you feel that you had traveled back in time to when staying in a hotel was a luxury. Each room was uniquely decorated and had had an old world charm. One note and that this hotel does not have an elevator. I would travel back to Black Mountain and stay here again without any qualms.

Wonderful location and walkable to Black Mountain shops and restaurants. Beautiful outside seating on front porch and backyard. Added bonus of firepit and fun guests enjoying wine. Really enjoyed our stay!

Wonderful old mansion converted into a hotel and restaurant in historic Black Mountain. The staff is super friendly and the restaurant has great southern food. The hotel is within walking distance of many shops and restaurants. The hotel is also a short walk to Lake Tomahawk Park, which is a hidden gem.

My husband and I stayed one night at this hotel. The service for check in/check out was great. We weren’t impressed with the free breakfast. We were able to walk to downtown from the hotel.
