2/10 Poor

first off, the hotel had signs saying the restaurant and bar were closed for renovation...not anything mentioned on the hotels.com site.....secondly, the first room they put us in was dank, and moldy smelling. the second room they put us in was bare bones, no ice bucket, cups, etc etc. We had paid for two nights, stayed the first night, complained to front desk, they said they would do what they could... after they did nothing, hotels.com gave me one key cash to cover second night...btw. hotel closed 1-6-26 FOR RENOVATIONS, WHY WERE THEY OPEN 12-27 WHEN IT WAS A NIGHTMARE???

We had a very pleasant experience staying at the Monte Vista. The staff was friendly and helpful. The environment was clean and comfortable. Shops and dining was in walking distance. We plan on another visit in the very near future!

Very rustic , charming hotel. Room was spacious and bed was very comfortable. The hotel had lots of nooks and crannies in the exterior grounds as well as numerous nook with tables or chairs to just sit and relax

The hotel has great potential, but at this point, the renovation is underway and incomplete. Limited access to most basic amenities.

10/10 Exceptional

The room was spacious and clean; staff was very nice and walked us straight to our room. Staff also provided recommendations for breakfast, since the restaurant was closed.

10/10 Exceptional

If you want everything perfect go to super 8 but this place is awesome! Nice clean room, friendly staff, and beautiful property. You’ll get squeaky floors and no tv in your room. But you’ll get something away from the typical. Support local in this great little mountain town and enjoy a night without the tv blaring.

Very clean! Bed was very comfortable, Close to shopping. Quiet!

10/10 Exceptional

We really enjoyed staying at The Monte Vista during the Sourwood Festival. It was great to walk to town to eat and attend the festival. The hotel is old but very charming. It has a lot of stairs and no TV in some rooms, so be sure to book a room accordingly.
Great front porch at the hotel.
James, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful place to stay. Can’t wait for the new renovation to be ready.
Jeffrey, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Lost some of the charm

I don't know if it because of new ownership and transition, but my wife and I were commenting that it seems like the soul is gone from the Monte Vista. I officiated a wedding there several years ago and it seems like a lot of the charm of the facility is missing. That charm is the main reason I booked there. I hope that it comes back.
Charles, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

We stayed 2 years ago and had a great experience. Unfortunately the restaurant is closed. There’s no breakfast offered, and the answer was “we don’t know why.” They’re supposedly getting ready for renovations, but it’s just disappointing that it’s just as expensive to stay with the amenities gone. Room was clean, area was clean and open but ready for renovations. I hope they do renovate and open the restaurant, it was awesome.

Nice grounds , but restaurant is under renovation … no tv, or updated usb ports in room… but quiet and nice …
Ladson, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This place is a GEM. The staff was so friendly. The rooms are super cute and historic. Everything is within walking distance and you can't beat the view of mountains in the background. Their restaurant was closed as they are getting ready to renovate the entire property. Nice little bar with anything you want really. The front and back porches are so nice to sit and enjoy a cool evening. We will for sure be back after the renovations!
