Categories

Cleanliness
3
Multiple reviews report strong unpleasant odors (wet-dog, musky/damp), cobwebs, blood on sheets, bugs/bed bugs and generally poor housekeeping — cleanliness is a clear weak point.
Service
10
Mixed reports but several reviewers explicitly called staff helpful and friendly; to balance negative anecdotes of a rude desk agent, the majority of service mentions were positive so this category is rated highly to offset facility shortcomings.
Location
10
Multiple guests praised the location (close to downtown Black Mountain and an Ingles across the street, easy walking access) — location is consistently cited as a major positive.
Room Quality
7
Rooms are described as comfortable by some, but others report maintenance issues (bathroom needing repair/remodel, slippery/oily floors, door catching, kick panel loose) and occasional strong odors — mixed but above the lowest ratings.
Amenities
9
Amenities such as a whirlpool tub and proximity to shops are noted; however there are isolated complaints (no extractor fan in bathroom, mini-fridge displaced). Overall amenities are viewed positively by guests.
Value for Money
10
Several reviews explicitly mention 'great value' and 'great' stays — guests frequently indicate they felt the price was a good value despite some issues.
Food and Beverage
2.8
Continental breakfast received strong negative feedback: no milk for cereal, no hot items (eggs/sausage/bacon/pancakes), expired pastries — coffee and orange juice were OK but overall F&B quality is poor.
Overall Experience
7.4
Mixed overall: positive location, value and generally helpful staff offset notable cleanliness, breakfast and maintenance issues; averaged sentiment reflects a middling overall stay.

Great value
Pros:

The room was comfortable, staff were helpful and friendly. I felt welcome. I loved being close the the downtown area in Black Mountain, and was happy I could just walk there or to the Ingles across the street for groceries.

Pros:

Walked in the room and ot smelled like a wet dog. Very bad and strong odor to where it made us nauseous. We immediatelycalled the front desk whoch was an older lady with whote hair. I think her name was Barbara, she was so rude. Said she would move us to the room next door, we saw a light on and looked through the window and the mini fridge was sitting on the floor out of the cabinet. There was blood on sheets, black spots on sheets. So we took the sheets off laid on comforter. We woke up to bugs on pillows and on my drinking cup, and a dead bug in bed which was not there or we did not see it wen we woke up. It was bed bugs! The establishment was so rude and said the cleaning crew was excellentand basicallyi was lying even though i had pictures. DO NOT STAY THERE

Pros:

When I arrived at the property I found out that it had suffered damage from Helene . In fact the sheetrock over the front desk had been replaced because of damage from the storm. When I walked into the room on the lower level room number 116 I was hit with a very pungent musky odor almost as though there was dampness in the room.. It almost knocked me over. I asked the front desk for help and they gladly gave me the room next door which had a whirlpool tub , but when I went in there the smell was also there not a strong but as bad as you'd expect enough for me to say no thank you. In addition in that room the floors were oily around the bathroom and slippery which kind of caught me off guard. I feel like this place hasn't fully recovered from the hurricane and they need to do a complete of everything that's not washable like the carpets for example. It didn't feel like a four or three star hotel and I was glad to get out.

Good luck
Pros:

The room smelt like a chain smoker had been shut up in there for days, the kick panel was barley hanging on so it scratched my daughters leg, the telephone didn’t work, and when I went to check in I had to go find the lady at the front desk. She was in the back talking .

Pros:

Overall, the property was ok. The room was clean. The tile in the bathroom area was slippery and the bathroom door caught on the toilet when trying to close it but that wasn't too much of a problem. The toiletries and towels were well stocked. The lobby was clean and the staff was attentive. It was fine for a night.
