Location & Price, I’ve stayed here a few times. Parking in front of room excellent. Lobby/check in would have been improved by multiple boxes stacked in corner being removed. Llack of tv guide in room frustrating. Gnats in sink area disappointing.

This has been my regular place to stay since I have been traveling here for work. The rooms have been recently refurbished and always clean. Black Mountain is a cool small mountain community town with nice shops and restaurants to visit. Asheville is only about 15 minutes away making it well worth it as a place to stay.

I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by this place. I'm a travel nurse and The Acorn has become my regular place to stay when it has available rooms. The price is very affordable in comparison to the other establishments with the "Asheville tourist" based room prices. Although it is not in Asheville, it's still really not that long of a drive and quite convenient for my needs. I'll continue to stay here until my contract is done and it continues to be a good financial decision!

The inside of my room was nice and so was the bed. The air conditioning was in a weird location making it hard to keep the room cool. Seemed to be a work crew of some kind staying there riding a bus in and out , the manager had his office locked so you rang a bell to get him. I had unsafe vibes from the people there.

Hidden gem of hotel

Acorn Motel is an older motel ... yet they have kept it updated. Heat/AC unit is a wall mount ... but kept the room warm for me (was 35 degrees when I was there). Room has a lot of room. All necessities were in room (ie: hair dryer, shampoo, soap). They are pet friendly - lots of room to walk dogs (I had 3 with me). Outside was very well lit.

Don’t Stay Here.

This motel is very rundown. The room was a closed off area behind the office very strangely set up no nightstands, No lamps No floor mats as you came in the door, so made floor very dirty quickly The room is on a slant mattress was way too hard Would not stay here again!!!

This property is a work in progress, under new management for only the past two weeks. Understandably, there is much that needs to be done to upgrade, including installation of an ice machine (in progress), availability of coffee to guests (in progress), and providing WI Fi to guest rooms (in progress). For the exceptionally low price of $70 per night, we could put up with these minor temporary inconveniences. Motel is well-located, rooms were clean and beds comfortable. Everything worked. Manager was kind, patient, and knowledgeable. We would return!
