Its our 2nd stay. The breakfast somewhat good compared to other places, but same stuff every morning and no hot coffee! Also they do not refill when it's out. Next room is not quite, and also construction trucks are passing by early morning. Beds are pretty comfortable. Only bad thing that we were not happy was that the elevator was not working and had to used stairs with our luggage.

Needs an major update. The plumbing in shower and sink drained very slowly. The caulking was yellowing and looks like somone put it down was an after thought. Furniture and lamps were of the 1990 vintage.

The personnel I dealt with were very courteous. I love the look and feel of the hotel. The pool and courtyard area are so quaint and offer a very nice atmosphere. The free breakfast is also a great extra! It’s very good with many options. I even love the flavored water offered at all times in the lobby. I would definitely recommend this hotel. It’s already been my choice twice in the last month when staying in Asheville.

The curtain in our room was nasty! It looked like it had feces on it and there was mold on the ceiling, the one of the lamps had a bulb out and the remaining was blinking. The other lamp had a shaded tattered and torn. The AC filter could have been better. I broke out in a rash and had allergy induced asthma when I woke up. The AC didn’t work well and it was humid in the room.

Average, uneventful experience - budget friendly

Average, uneventful experience. Pros: the room was very affordable, less than 5 minutes from the airport with great highway access (very convenient for a 5:30am flight), clean enough, offered free breakfast, abundant free parking, safe environment, lots of chain restaurants and stores like Target and grocery very close by. Cons: This isn't a luxury hotel, so if that's what you are looking for, book elsewhere. The room was clean with obvious signs of heavy use and wear and tear - average for a busy midscale hotel chain.

Good quiet place to stay near airport

Very comfortable spacious room with good bed & pillows. Surprisingly quiet. Bathroom needed makeup mirror and tub/shower floor was very slippery with no grab bars in the shower. One grab bar was on outside wall. Complimentary breakfast was excellent - scrambled eggs, potatoes, onion pepper topping, gravy, bacon, sausage etc. The breakfast staff, Gloria and one other woman, cleaned dilligently throughout breakfast. I told her that I have never experienced such a clean breakfast area in any other hotel. Front desk staff were great. Indoor/outdoor pool. Large,Mexican restaurant, Blue Agave, attached to the restaurant. Will visit again.
