The front desk staff was friendly and efficient and provided great restaurant recommendations.

My husband and I stayed here overnight 04-01-12. Nothing negative to report. The hotel is situated on top of a hill with lovely views of surrounding mountains. The bed was a latex mattress, very comfy. Granite bath counter, okay shower. Personal balcony. Very convenient to downtown. There is a sports complex with pool, golf, and workout facilities that makes this... More

Next time you stay with us I encourage you to take advantage of our fitness complex, new full service spa, or zipline course if you are looking for a bird's eye view of the surrounding property and city of Asheville.

We had a good stay overall. Walls were a bit thin if you have noisy, laughing neighbors. They graciously moved us to a new room though and we were fine. Beds were VERY comfortable. Staff was very nice and attentive. Good breakfast buffet (not free) with omelette station. Elevator too small. Convenient location. Quiet. More

The walls are really thin. Location was ok- not too far from downtown once you get your bearings. The decor is very dated, but the place has potential. I would not consider this a 3 1/2 star hotel though. One perk: the $5 shuttle to/from downtown. We didn't try any of the eateries on property with the amazing selection of... More

Our close proximity to downtown and our $5/person roundtrip shuttle are two of our strongest selling points and I am very glad that you took advantage of both in order to appreciate the multitude of great restaurants in downtown Asheville. I extremely sorry that you were disturbed by your noisy neighbors, and we are currently looking into noise buffering options... More

Stayed here for 3 nights with a conference. I guess they booked it because it was cheap. In order to locate the property, you have to drive through the parking lot of a depressing strip mall. I drove around for 20 minutes just trying to find it, after driving in from the airport 15 miles to the south. Parking is... More

I really appreciate your feedback both positive and negative and always enjoy hearing good things about our amazing staff. Many issues such as the sliding glass doors, and HVAC noise are problems that we are working to resolve, and we could have fixed your TV or door lock problem with a simple call to the Front Desk.

I was a little worried after reading some of the previous reviews, so I called the hotel and spoke with Lori Hollifield, the Guest Services Manager.

Course is pathetic,still. Played here two years ago and couldn't believe the condition of the fairways. Spotty,dead patches everywhere. And the greens were just as bad.

My husband and I was very happy with our stay here. Pricing was very comparable for allowing our dog to stay. Room was very clean and up-to-date. We were literally only five minutes from downtown Asheville. They seem to be doing some renoviations in the hallways (which is needed). More
