We arrived to the hotel and it was soooo outdated for the price and we didn’t have AC so they offered us a fan which was a joke.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.

This hotel is long overdue for a facelift but over all comfortable and clean. It’s a great location. We have stayed here a number of times over the years.

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.

My check-in was horrible, the man behind the desk gave me attitude when I told him that I did not have the $100 deposit that they were asking for. 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.

picked this place for the ok reviews and needed a resonable priced place for my wife and I to put our head down after seeing some live music in Ashville 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.

If you are into classic neon, vintage motels, and a "Mom and Pop" feel to your stay, book this hotel. Easy access to downtown Asheville and many food choices nearby. Rooms were updated where needed--fridge, microwave, flatscreen tv, but they kept the great "harvest gold" shower and toilet. Had chairs outside your room so you could enjoy the cool mornings and evening breezes. Support this motel !!! I will never stay ANYWHERE ELSE in Asheville but here. I fell in love with this place!!! Not fancy but the vibe is so great.

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.

A most pleasant stay. Staff at reception the best with great recommendations. Nice pleasant rooms with chairs to sit on outside. Nicer than a normal motel, nice character to it.

The nostalgic Inn did not disappoint! Everything was great. I haven't located a small dark blue jewelry box, if that is found can someone contact me please? Contact information was room #114 night of 7/13. Thank you and we look forward to booking again!

I found it odd that they front desk wanted copies of everyone's IDs, not just mine since I booked it. They insisted on my wife's ID as well. Then all the parking was full. How do you have fewer parking spots than rooms? The next day there were bees everywhere. Bees were in both stairwells (no elevator) and you had to walk through them to get to out of the second floor.

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!

We took our pets and the staff volunteered to check in on them while we were away. (The pets didn't need it)

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.

This property is older but lovely. Please do not compare it to a chain hotel/ motel. I’ve been doing road trips on Route 66 and staying at these iconic motor courts. I was lucky to find this gem near Asheville. 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.
