Disappointed

Honestly I read the reviews prior and was excited. I found the $25 per night fee for parking was excessive. If I am renting a room I expect parking to be included. Maybe increase your room price instead of adding extra charges. I booked a city view my room really was just overlooking their parking lot. We had to leave early Sunday morning and was told there was no coffee until 7:00 am. Staff told us to use the in room coffee machines which I find gross. Most hotels offer coffee as early as 5 or 6 am. I booked this hotel because they had a restaurant. However, the dinner menu is really a lunch menu...sandwiches. We were too tired to go outside the hotel. Food was decent though but was hoping for a real dinner menu. Overall not the quality I was hoping for. Hope they do better in the future. Would not be my choice for a hotel when in Asheville again.

Great location! Comfy beds. A few notes.

This hotel is in a great location and you can walk downtown if you'd like. The views are wonderful. We could see the mountains and the Grove Park Inn from our 11th floor window. You can they remodeled an older property because of some holdovers like an older toilet, slanting floors, etc. One elevator was down, leading to waits. But overall, a really good stay for the price. Note, you will pay for parking at this property. $30 to valet, $25 to self park. Take the breakfast if it is offered to you with your stay at a discount! It was very good and reasonable if you add it on when booking. We only paid $10.

The staff is very friendly and responsive. Carpeting in my room was dated, sliding bathroom door was off its track and one of the curtains was off its track. However, they came right away to fix the bathroom door and offered me a new room because the curtain had to come down and wouldn't be replaced that day. I also wish they had a note in the bathroom about not having to change the towels. I was only staying 2 nights and didn't need to have fresh towels. Lastly, it costs $25 per night to park your car. Seems excessive to me.

Return to Asheville

This was a return trip for us exactly one year from our first stay. Booked for the location because we were in town for Billy Strings weekend! Walkable to everything including the concert venue. We were worried about how things would be considering the enormous damage to the RAD from Helene but the hotel was in great shape. A few suites were blocked off due to damage but all other amenities were available. The Writer’s Bistro was wonderful as usual. Thanks for hosting us and we’ll see you next time Billy is in town.
