This used to be our favorite place to stay when visiting Asheville and where we stayed for our honeymoon 20 years ago. We have been back several times since then and spent our 20th anniversary there last weekend. For the most part, the previous stays have been very nice. The hotel looks like it has not had any significant updates since we first went there. Even the furniture looked the same. The mattress on the bed was in poor shape and slanted towards the middle and had no box spring for support. The shower had very poor water pressure and was luke warm at best (as was the water in the tub) when the dial was turned all the way to hot. We notified the staff several times about the shower and maintenance may have been sent, but with no appreciable improvement to the water pressure or temperature. There were some other issues, but minor in comparison to the water issue. We will most likely stay at a different hotel or rent an air bnb our next trip to Asheville which is a shame because we have had great experiences at the Haywood Park Hotel in the past.

A beautiful hotel which was once a department store - cleverly decorated and huge rooms - we loved staying there in walking distance of all kinds of restaurants and shops. Only thing disappointing was their restaurant wasn’t open and there was no pool. Excellent stay will return again. Valet was superb!!

What an amazing property, I love old buildings and this is a really cool one. I guess at some point it was a big local department store but now its a wonderful hotel. Its really close to lots of restaurants and cool little shops. If your going to a concert its a very short walk to the venue, if your going to Asheville I highly recommend staying here.

Looks nice, but not great. Big chunk of mirror missing, mold or rot on the trim, pealing table top and dirty, stained ottoman. Plus the door plate was messed up. The floor was sticky, I spilled water and wiped it up, the towel was dirty from the floor. I had 3 reservations for 6 nights total. one night was wrong, instead of being nice and allowing one night to be changed, they charged me for it. They do not like 3rd party reservations...

Felt the hotel was missing a few amenities for their particular price point. Check in process was very slow and tedious, first set of keys issued did not work. There was no fridge in the room, also no ice provided on each floor, ice had to be retrieved from front counter, which you had to wait in line for again. The cleanliness and room condition was very good, comfortable bed and linens. No lobby bar or reataraunt available was dissapointing, everything was under renovation.

Our room was right above the trash dumpsters and that is all I heard all night. The wifi was awful and never kept a connection which usually would not matter as I can usually stream something from a hotel tv or watch premium on their system but not here. This room was not cheap so I was really disappointed with this lack of service.

I thought it was unique that the hotel used to be an Ivey's and the elevators announce the clothing for the floor you are arriving on. But I was a little disappointed that there was no coffee IN the room. I had to go downstairs and make it myself. There is also no ability to get your own ice, so I had to go to the lobby and request ice and a glass. I paid extra for a City View room but all I could see was the brick of the building next door. The staff was great and accommodating.

Relaxing getaway with plenty of room

The minute we arrived it was a pleasant experience. We were greeted by the valet Owen who promptly unloaded our car on a trolley and rolled it in for us to check in. Aurelia welcomed us at the desk and offered us champagne (very nice welcome after a long drive!). It was a quick and easy check-in and we were off to our room. Our room was VERY spacious and had a large, comfortable couch and relaxing TV area. There was a small fridge, microwave and Keurig. There was also a nice dining table and a desk. Loved the location, the friendly staff and beautiful, comfortable room.
