I stayed at this hotel for two nights and it was pleasant enough. I overheard two people saying that hey had gotten a smoking room the first night they were there because a bunch of "Gold Medallion" members had checked in and bumped them out of non-smoking rooms, but it sounded like they were given jacuzzi rooms the following night to make up for it. But I was able to get a non-smoking room right away, so I was happy.

The room was clean and pleasant enough. One thing I thought was really cool was the fact that you can listen to the television in the bathroom...so I didn't have to miss the movie I was watching, even when I was taking a shower! (There's a volume control knob next to the light so you can decide if you want to hear it or not.)

The breakfasts were very good...not just your standard continental breakfast but an ample spread of fresh food.

All in all, I would stay here again. It's close to shopping centers and food establishments and I was satisfied with my stay.

I read the review before we left but thought "how bad could a Fairfield be"? Well, I found out. First we booked it last minute during Easter weekend and all the upscale hotels were booked. I fiqured I'd stay modest and have stayed at numerous Marriott Fairfields and Courtyards before with no problem.

The day of arrival we checked in and the room was ok clean and there were shears on the curtains but it went downhill from there. We booked a king with Jacuzzi tub. What the heck. Well, first nite didn't use tub but second wanted to use tub and there was a water main break down the road. I had called down to the front desk 3 times asking how to fill the tub. Nobody knew. Then somebody finally told us there was no water pressure till 9pm. Tried again and still wouldn't fill. Turns out the Two person tub fills up through the shower head. So if you have 6 + hours you can fill it up. Just a terrible property with inept staff.

There are plenty of hotels in Asheville to choose from and Marriott should take there name off this one.

At least I got a discount................!

Room was dirty. Could hear highway through leaky window. Lighting bad. Carpet worn. Bathroom had mildew. Bedding was cheap, scratchy, and old. Elevator was scratched with graffiti making the place look even scarier. Mattress seemed army surplus. Cheap, sparse furniture. No sheer on window, so you could either have light or dark, but light meant everyone could see right in from parking lot.

Marriott Platinum member who stays at lots of Fairfields warns you - stay at the Hampton Inn across the highway!!!
