Clean, spacious rooms, large windows with lots of sunlight, easy walk to downtown, nice bar and lobby seating. Fresh fruit, eggs, waffles, cereal, breads, sausage, bacon for breakfast. Very nice hotel.
Great Location. Friendly staff. Bar tender noticed an issue with a guy and ask him to leave.

Really enjoyed the location for its walkability to all of our activities downtown. Self parking is $25/day (there is also valet for $30) and was easily accessible. The beds were comfortable, however all the pillows provided became very flat during the night, resulting in poor sleep for us.
While the restaurant’s breakfast buffet looked lovely, it would be great if an a la carte option could be provided for those who want a simple, grab and go item in the morning.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Everything was great except the temperature in the room. It was overly hot and the thermostat didn’t seem to work. And this is when it was about 35 degrees outside at night. Location was fantastic.
Great hotel stay with friendly helpful staff and clean, comfortable and quiet rooms. And it’s walkable to the main streets of downtown Asheville which makes it an ideal hotel to stay at. It’s location can’t be beat.
It was really nice visiting such a cute and friendly town! The hotel is in a perfect location but it needs a big renovation especially rooms and bathrooms!
