I really enjoyed my three nights; price point, staff service, just the whole vibe of a busy hotel. I only really marked down a category because the place has a somewhat dated but sophisticated feel to it (spacious rooms with lovely views with ‘popcorn style ceilings’) … Generous room service was nice (lots of towels) and even fun to just people-watch in the grand lobby and listen to the front-desk staff accommodate just about every customer; this place goes above & beyond! Highly recommend a stay here while in downtown Asheville! Robert

This property is well beyond needing a remodel, it should probably be torn down. This is because it is so functionally obsolete that it would be more economical to replace the existing structure. While clean and comfortable, it just cannot get away from the fact it can’t compete with modern properties. It is an abomination that they charge premium rates for a run down obsolete property without a working pool or decent bar or restaurant. Anyone who travels knows that this place thinks it’s still in its glory days of the 1980’s. It is not. Everyone I talked with felt the same, disappointed, surprised at the price and are not coming back.
