Historic kitch motel

I love the Mountaineer. It's a bit run down, but it's great if you like an interesting place to stay with a diverse clientele. They say they're doing some significant upgrades soon--which is welcome but I hope they don't destroy the place's charm in the process.

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!

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.

The location is great. Close to lots of restaurants and downtown Asheville. Just some things to know. There is coffee maker and coffee in the rooms. No decaf coffee is available. There are no blow dryers in the rooms. The front desk does have blow dryers. For the money we had a good stay!

You get what you pay for. The staff is great. The rooms are fine. The pillows were awful.. very lumpy and old. The room didn't include shampoo. But, I would stay again. I am not keen on paying $250 a night somewhere else when I'm barely there.

Kitschy & Comfortable

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.

Grew up in Asheville, and always loved seeing The Mountaineer Inn up on the knoll above Tunnel Road. When I went home for a visit, had to give it a try. 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.
