What guests think

Across recent reviews of Mountain Inn & Suites, travelers praise the friendly, accommodating staff, while noting dated facilities and amenities impacted by flooding, including closed pools and inconsistent breakfast, along with a generally mixed experience regarding upkeep and musty odors.

Many guests mention very firm mattresses and visible wear like peeling wallpaper, threadbare furnishings, and unfinished repairs. The setting is quiet and convenient to highways and local spots, though some felt it was remote for major attractions. Expect a modest small-town stay with variable in-room comfort.

The property does not presently live up to the posted pictures. The price paid was pretentiously exorbitant for the experience. As it turned out, the pool was drained, the fitness center was in shambles, and when you follow the signs to "vending," on the first and third floors only, you can get ice, but no snacks or drinks. One would imagine that last item not to be a problem, except that when arriving late, the shell station next door was not open, so forget having any type of a bottle of hydration. These rooms should be priced around $65/night while the ammenities are not functioning, rather than the ridiculous amount I paid. We decided to depart early.

The pool and hot tub are closed! It said nothing about that online or in the emails. I get there was a flood but why not tell guests what to expect. We brought pool toys and planned our stay around the fact that you had a hot tub plus the pool. The reason we decided on this hotel entirely was closed with no knowledge to us, the guest. No money was offered back. The halls stink and the lady at the desk told me how lucky they are to even be open. So we as the guest were just the unlucky ones. I get it, and my heart goes out but a quick email to say the pool and hot tub were not open and could not even go outside to that area would have solved the problem.

Made it hard for us to open. Instead the bathroom in the corner by the bathroom the wallpaper was coming off. The staff was excellent. The breakfast was not good. Seemed like they did not want to cook for a small group of people. We stayed 4 nights

The hotel staff were gracious and accommodating and do the very best with what they have. The hotel is in need of investment for general upkeep and maintenance. Examples include peeling wallpaper, bathroom caulking, outside lighting around the pool and perimeter, and stocking 21st century toiletries. Overall, the excellent cleanliness of the pool, room and bathroom was unexpected. The linens were crisp and the mattress was in good condition.

Our bed was HARD not just firm, but hard. I know that’s a personal preference but made for a rough 2 nights. The room had drywall cut out to access bathroom plumbing (I’m guessing) it was in place but unfinished. The entire hotel smelled like a musty, moldy basement. Wasn’t the worst experience but have stayed in better. Mediocre at best.

I wish I could remember the name of the lady who ran the whole place solo the first night we were there. She had to come down from cleaning rooms to check us in. She didn't act put upon or hurried. She was friendly and professional. Later we had to pull her away from cleaning to help us with a glitch on our TV. She fixed it promptly and cheerfully. She is sharp and has a positive attitude. She should be made at least an Assistant Manager, in charge of housekeeping and front desk. I hope this message gets through to her and to management. She is a valuable employee.

There were no vending machines although there are signs stating they have them. Breakfast ends at 9:30 everyday (no later weekend hours). Our room appeared clean, but we felt the bed was much too firm. The counter lady was GREAT, very accommodating and friendly. Overall our stay was good. And the location was good for us to attend three different gatherings. It is sad however, that ALL lodging raises their prices when a very well attended event is nearby (in this case, a race at Bristol). We were in town for a family gathering but still had to pay an elevated rate for 2 of our 4 days. Overall our stay was fine for what we needed. And if we need to stay in that area again, we will probably stay again. 😊 The wok

The property was in a remote location and no one was there except one person. They are cutting back on breakfast ie hot meal due to low occupancy. They are trying to save food, but for those of us who did show up we may want to eat a hot meal and there was no hot meal. The staff are friendly and very helpful. They are awesome, management needs some work. They should always have coffee and a hot meal in the morning if they want people to come back. Great Price though. two start at most. It is a little scary there.

Food was very average for a rate this high. I didn’t starve but too many carbs and no fresh fruit. How hard is it to have bananas or apples? Coffee was very weak even for regular coffee. We walked next door to the gas station in 39 degrees just to get a decent cup of coffee. Check in - Rhonda was great! Check out. No one around at 10:30 am so housekeeping phone a person to email our receipt. Thank you cleaning lady ! Towels were clean and room ok but our alternative was Super 8 so we paid the price.
