La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Downtown Asheville
"I booked my room 2 weeks in advance and when I showed up I was turned away saying "No Locals Allowed". I came from 1 1/2 away to tend to my 89 year old Mom for 2 days and ended up on the street with no where to sleep after a long day. I will never book with La Quinta again."
