This stay was surprisingly good considering the renovation going on. Staff seems. To be doing a good job of keeping things clean despite construction. Our only complaint was the unwillingness to serve more yogurt upon request after other guests had exhausted the yogurt in the refrigerator. Fortunately the eggs were surprisingly good and not like other fake hotel buffet eggs. Staff also accommodated our request for extra towels.

Excellent staff and breakfast. Nice hotel layout. The bed was super comfortable. The bathtub had a bit of mildew and the lap shades were needed replacing. I would stay here again as it is right beside the airport and they have a complimentary shuttle there.

The first room I stayed in did not have AC and the room was musty smelling. I switched rooms and the towels that we’re supposed to be cleaned were soaking wet folded in my room. I spoke with the front desk about how I have stayed here prior when I was in town and I never had this issue before. I asked for some type of accommodation for a refund for at least a night or two and I was denied. I alll not be back here for my trip that I visit yearly.

The Clarion Inn is conveniently located about 5 minutes from Asheville airport. Very close to many restaurants. The room was fine and good value. The breakfast buffet is well stocked with a good variety of foods. If you want an unpretentious place to stay for a good price, close to the airport, I recommend.

Clarion at airport is an outstanding hotel. Everything you need as far as eating, eating store everything just within a half mile of the hotel. The front desk is outstanding the people that work here as far as the clerks to the cleaning staff, it’s nothing but outstanding They have a Mexican restaurant with the hotel. The food is outstanding.. if you’d rather have a steak just to hop in a skip down the parking lot is a longhorn steer steakhouse. Shopping Ctr target Marshalls etc. fast foods This is the only hotel I stay at and I have my service dog. They do check for credentials for the Dog. They do not charge for service dogs. Transportation to the airport is excellent I can’t say enough with this hotel it’s just fantastic. Breakfast is nice and hot and fresh..
Nickie my service dog. He prefers his kennel.  Yet pillows are ever so soft & barks to sleep on one.

We were there for just one night before flying the next day. The receptionist was so very helpfuk about parking, using the shuttle to the airport, leaving our car. It was just so easy. She made it so easy. And the room was so clean! And the bed comfortable. I would definitely do it again.
