“The hotel stands out for its downtown location, convenient to Asheville's attractions. Though some aspects show their age, the commitment to local sourcing at the restaurant and the presence of an indoor pool are definite advantages. I think it's a practical base for exploring the city, especially given the event spaces for larger gatherings.”
