The Black Mountain Inn

This is a really nice place to stay in Brattleboro. Room was large and very clean, the bathroom was a little old but very clean and good water pressure (important to me). Its on the main road but back a little so I really didn't hear traffic. The young man at the desk when I checked in was very friendly and his grandmother is a lovely woman, we had a very nice talk. They have a grab and go breakfast, yogurt, fruit, juice, coffee and more.

I really wanted to like this small independent motel, but cleanliness issues overshadowed the awesome staff. My room was not well vacuumed and had dirt and debris on the carpet, the sheets were stained and had hair on them, and there was hair in the tub. The sink did not drain at all and the drain pull was broken. The lockbox for picking up keys after hours had debris and what looked like nail clippings inside (?!) The windows and walkways were grimy and there were bird droppings on the outdoor handrail. The Good things: amazing water pressure and an awesome shower, super quiet on a weekend and no road noise, plus friendly and professional staff who were very willing to provide an new set of sheets and were extremely reachable and responsive during my stay. The fishtank is also awesome! I

Heed the warning. I was in a pickle, needed a place close and fast. Found this, last minute. Big mistake. I should've paid double for a real hotel. From the start I thought this was going well until I walked in the room. The musty, moldy smell was over powering, opened the only window, and cranked the AC. Apparently I got the last room with a hot tube. 🤢. It was out of order, but I wouldn't have gone in anyway. Come to find out, there's actually stagnant water in the bottom, for how long, who knows. Don't walk around barefoot, the floors are not clean and sticky, the walls, like others mentioned, stained and disgusting, cob webs hanging from the ceiling, splattered bugs too. I also woke up with a sore throat and headache. I went out the balcony a couple times, there was a tweake

Not even a one star Motel. Woke up at 2AM with sore throat. The room had disgusting smell of cigarette smoke. Didn’t notice this before as AC blowing cold air masked the smell. Although there was a sign No Smoking in this room in my opinion it had in the past been a heavy smoking room. The walls were covered in yellowing wallpaper and chemicals from cigarette smoke stain & absorb the chemicals. It’s very hard or impossible to remediate cigarette chemicals from wallpaper. New identical wallpaper was placed over the bath tube and you could see the difference from identical white new wallpaper and the old yellowing wallpaper. When I woke up at 2AM I tuned on the light by the bed and there was a roach on the wall near me. There was a dehumidifier bag hanging in the room filled with water. The

Positive: The lovely kind family that runs the motel. Very pleasant. Negative: Mattress was not as soft as I like.
