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.

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.

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!

Cute quaint hotel
A very quaint hotel stay for a little more than a budget hotel. Very nice old-school feel, while being well kept up.

Since new ownership, it’s not the same. The remaining staff are trying their best, but with no restaurant and limited staff hours, it’s horrible.

This is an historic building, but they do mention that it’s been renovated. So, I was a bit surprised that the room was small, no glasses, of any kind, were available, no t.v., and I had to stand on the commode to turn the broken knob to close the blinds!
On the positive side, staff member Jenna was efficient and very pleasant, the location was close to walk into town (which was crucial since the restaurant is closed on property) and it was clean!

Not a welcoming vibe - restaurant is shut down, chairs up on tables. Our room was stark - not a historical inn vibe at all, more like a college dorm. Not a single piece of art on the walls, just blank white with a hard backed chair in the corner.
