My stay at the Monte Vista Hotel was truly delightful, with its historical charm and cozy atmosphere making me feel like I was visiting a treasured friend's home. I enjoyed the artsy vibe and comforting decor, but the room I stayed in was a bit underwhelming compared to what I saw in the main house. The dining experience was fantastic, particularly the unique breakfast offerings. Overall, while the price felt steep considering my room's basics, the charming experience just about made up for it.

The room I stayed in felt more like a basic motel room, lacking the charm of those in the main house. It had a traditional style but was quite bland and didn't justify the price.

My stay at the Monte Vista Hotel was a mixed bag. The historical charm and beautiful renovations stood out, and the dining experience at Milton's was delightful, especially their brunch. However, the service left much to be desired with some logistical challenges, particularly with parking and accessibility to the rooms on the third floor. The lack of in-room amenities like coffee makers and climate control also detracted from the experience. Overall, while there’s great potential here, some improvements are definitely needed.

I really wanted to love this historic hotel, and there were definitely some charming aspects, like the character of the building and the cozy courtyard. However, I encountered several frustrations, including reservation mix-ups and waiting far too long for dinner. Ultimately, while the experience had its merits, the disorganization during a busy conference weekend overshadowed the positives.

I had an amazing experience staying at this charming hotel. The blend of historic character with modern amenities made for a delightful stay. The dining was exceptional, especially the breakfast options, though I did find the lack of TVs surprising. Overall, it was a clean and unique place to stay in Black Mountain, but some minor maintenance issues in the room need addressing.

My stay at the Monte Vista was a mix of charm and frustration. I truly appreciated the historic character of the hotel and the quality of dining at Milton's was delightful. However, I was let down by the lack of an elevator and adequate climate control in the room, which affected my overall comfort. While the hotel has great potential, there are several small but significant aspects that need attention to improve the experience.
