The Tunnel Road location is close to multiple popular chain restaurants, mall shopping and a quick back road route to Biltmore.

Comfy hotel

We had a great stay at the Country Inn & Suites. The room was spacious and the beds were very comfortable. We even had the option of opening a window to the cool mountain air. :)

Clean and neat.

The hotel experience was exceptional with one source of discontent. After arrival, the hotel clerk wanted my billing address. Told me the Orbitz people were always leaving that information off when they sent in reservations. Secondly then he wanted my credit card and prescanned my card for hotel amenities in case I used the long distance telephone service. Even after telling him I had 2 cellphones with free long distance on them, I could not check into the hotel until he swiped my card. Rest assured I am watching the card like a hawk and WILL prosecute the hotel, the hotel clerk, and anyone else involved in a possible credit card scheme.

Great place to stay for business

Stayed here for four nights while I was in town for a business seminar. The hotel is close to everything and I love the hot tub!

Don't pay for extras

[...]charged extra for breakfast and internet. Don't pay for this. These are free to all guests, regardless of how you book. Just book the cheapest option you can find!
