Everything was great, I had a wonderful King bed with a view of a pasture that brought in deer at sunset and Monica the Manager, was so warm and welcoming. I was traveling alone, and she make a big difference in my trip to Hendersonville. Their location was fabulous too. I'm so glad I made such a great choice staying here!

Very nice and clean room, very friendly staff. Convenient location. The only reason it's not a 5 star for me is because there was no coffee pot in the room (although they do have fresh coffee in the office every morning) but I work 3rd shift but there are plenty of coffee shops nearby. Will definitely stay there again!
