I grew up in Asheville and this was a place we'd go party for 20 bucks a night when a concert was at the civic center and we didn't want to drive. It was a rathole back then. We couldn't find a hotel on leaf season weekend, so we decided to take a chance on this place. What a pleasant... more

honestly, i was more than a bit hesitant to stay here, based on the TA reviews, but, for less than $80/nite and the central downtown location, we thought we'd give it a try. as soon as we arrived, i noticed all the flowers and water fountains, and thought, "they're really trying here." The person checking us in in the rather... more

This hotel is in a good location to walk everywhere downtown but you make a deal with the devil to stay there. The staff treats guests like they are about to steal something. They scan your ID when you check in and they ask for it again when you re-enter the lobby. Maybe they are more familiar with lowlifes at... more

While this hotel has seen better days, it was clean and located right in the heart of downtown. We parked underneath the hotel, then walked anywhere we wanted to in the fantastic downtown area, which was exactly what we wanted. If you are looking for value and location, and can overlook the dated wallpaper, etc., then this is the hotel... more

My wife and I recently stayed here for 3 nights to get our yearly share of Asheville. Staff was pretty friendly except for Tony! Upon the last night of our stay, I forgot my room key, the front door to the lobby was locked, so I walked up the outside stairs which came almost directly to our rooms door and... more

With the reviews on this site, we were bracing for a bad experience, which set our expectations pretty low...but were actually pleasantly surprised by this place. Our room was clean, the bed was comfortable, the pool area was quite cute, and the breakfast was pretty nice. That was all we were looking for, just a nice, clean place to stay... more

What’s not to like about this place. Convenient parking and abundant evidence of owner pride, from the colorful landscaping outside to the tissues/antiseptic wipes (Swine flu scare during our visit) on the front desk, to the well-attended Continental breakfast, available in the spacious breakfast room or poolside. Easy walk to the shops downtown and if you are a real walker,... more

My wife and I, late 30's, were quoted a price at the desk, and then denied a room when we were deemed to be locals (hailing from a town 35 miles away). James, the desk attendant, played the "I'm calling the police" card WAY too quickly when I questioned this policy. Having lived close to Asheville for a few years,... more

This is an affordable downtown gem with charming desk clerks who soothe its exterior flaws. The rooms have all the essential amenities and are clean. We will come back. more
