Excellence! Everything about the Princess Anne is outstanding. From the moment we walked in the front door, we experienced hospitality at its best. The staff texted us to let us know that our room was ready, earlier than expected, and we found the room to be spotless, warm and inviting. Fresh coffee, tea and hot chocolate were always at hand near the lobby, as well as a complimentary assortment of fresh baked goodies made in house, by the chef, who certainly know her way around a kitchen. The breakfast choices should satisfy most tastes. I chose Belgian waffles, with a blueberry sauce, with crumbled pistachio nuts on top, with bacon. It was delicious! Afterward, we adjourned to the lobby, and sat before the cheery fireplace to read a newspaper. Delightful to slow down the pace of modern life. In our room, the bed was just right, and we had a very comfortable night's sleep. Hot water from the sink and shower was pretty much instantaneous, which, although not a big deal, indicated the quality of the hotel's restoration efforts. Parking is in a convenient off street parking lot right behind the hotel. And, the realty is that the people make the difference. Every interaction with staff was wonderful. The people who work in this hotel care about your experience, and it shows. I love supporting a lodging such as the Princess Anne. We will return here. It's central to everything, and I suggest you give the place a try...you will not be disappointed.

My wife and I stayed for a weekend so we could experience all that Asheville has to offer. We could not have been more pleased. The location is technically within walking distance, but only in nice weather or if you are used to walking. It was recommended that we take a Uber/Lyft to the breweries and downtown area we wanted to go. It took 2-minutes to get there. Literally. They offered complimentary drinks (alcohol offerings are included if you so choose) upon arrival. Rooms were immaculately clean and quiet. Showers had plenty of hot water. A Mitsubishi room heat/air was in each room giving you the option of of different rooms at different temperatures. The staff was friendly and provided ample recommendations upon hearing that we were there in town for the first time. The wine and food happy hour each day was a great way to relax after driving 6 hours, as well as a good way to have a chat with others staying at the hotel. But what sets this place apart is the scratch made breakfast each morning that comes with the price of the room. You read that right. Scratch made upon ordering! The chef is absolutely outstanding. And for the very reasonable price of the room stay I couldn't believe it was included. We will be staying there again, as my wife and I loved Asheville and plan to go back soon. This place is well worth the value of the price.

We actually didn't know about this hotel before researching other options after finding out one of our favorite Asheville B&B's was booked when we wanted to come. I'm glad we did because this place is amazing! If you like boutique hotels that are within walking distance of downtown, you've got to check it out. We were very happy with our room, the service, the incredible breakfasts, and the afternoon wine & cheese which they started offering again after a hiatus when we visited in late October 2020. They did a magnificent job customizing to my wife's flexitarian diet. Instead of an afternoon cheese plate, they gave us a plate of wonderful crackers, nuts, relish and pickled veggies. My wife mentioned that it was great to see a hotel run by women (the desk clerks, the head chef, the server, etc.). They also let you know that it's not unusual for black bears to be on the property (we saw some rummaging through the trashcans) but they will leave you alone if you leave them alone. They had contactless check in, and there was plenty of sanitizer available and there were always delicious cookies and treats in the lobby. Our room was on the third floor and we took the antique elevator to bring our luggage up but pretty much took the stairs the rest of the time. We also enjoyed the porch area when the weather was nice, and the sitting area with a gas fireplace. Your stay includes breakfast, and they change up their offerings every day for a little variety. Everything we had was delicious. Highly recommended.
