We were greeted at the front desk by Ian. He was very personable and gave us a better room than what a booking on the internet provides. We were on the 3rd floor with views of downtown Asheville. The room was large and very comfortable. The hotel is beautiful and is located in a area just out of walking distance... More

I used Priceline requesting a hotel in Central Asheville and got the Crowne Plaza. The location was not really what I was looking for. I was hoping for hotel in walking distance to downtown, but it turned out to be okay. It was only a short 5 minute drive to downtown and the front desk arranged for a cab for... More

We paid $87.66 including taxes (Priceline) for a Sunday evening. My husband and I arrived around nine p.m. The gentleman at the front desk told us that it was the calm after the storm. Due to two proms and a wedding, they had been at full occupancy the previous evening. On Sunday night they were down to only thirty-five guests.... More

I am very sorry that you had such problems during your one night with us no matter how slow or busy we were. I can't explain the cause of the maintenance noise you encountered because I'm not sure which room you were in, but we have had no scheduled maintenance in our sleeping room areas for the past several weeks,...

Overall, we would return here but there is much room for improvement. Our reservation was handled with terrific professionalism and promised special arangements to cope with my wife's allergies. That promise was kept and we are grateful. Our arrival was somewhat spoilt by a contractor sealing the asphalt in the parking lot leaving a petrochemical stench that endured for the... More

This was a nice hotel with a historic feel and a nice view. The historical feel was a little unsettling to me - part of me felt like it was a beatiful old historic hotel, and the other part of me felt like the historic feel was played up a little too much in an effort to not spend money... More

I stayed here this weekend with some friends while we were visiting Asheville. While the customer service was great, there was nothing amazing about this place. It's VERY large and a bit confusing if you don't have a map in hand to read. The bedding seemed new and plush which is always a great! But don't expect to get a... More

I appreciate the positive feedback within your review as our staff/customer service is an area in which we take great pride. Though we have the facilities to support large groups and have hundreds of groups and conventions throughout the year, we try our best to keep them together in certain parts of the hotel so as not to disturb other...

When you visit this unique hilltop resort, you feel like you're in a bit of a different world, but in a good way. Check-in and check-out was quick & easy. All the Crowne Plaza staff is VERY friendly and helpful. We arrived around 3 p.m., but the only King bed room available at that moment was a handicap King on... More
