I was travelling with my handicapped mother. The whole staff couldn't have been nicer, especially Pat, who is a GEM, in at breakfast. They were kind and considerate and helpful.
The suites were great, roomy, clean, and well equipped.

This is a well located property close to everything in Asheville and easy to get to, yet far enough off the main roads to be peaceful, relaxing and quiet...UNLESS there are other people in the rooms above and beside you! A tour bus of older folks arrived when we did. We didn't see any small children or teens at the hotel, so who would have thought we would be jarred, actually startled, by what sounded like explosions several times during the night. They were pieces of luggage or furniture being moved, maybe dropped, above and beside us. We were awakened several times with doors closing. The walls must have been made of paper. Oh yes, the vent fan in the bathroom sounded like a plane taking off; we didn't use it after the opening roar. The room was great, clean, well appointed. The bed was wonderful. A Carrabbas was next door; great for dinner.The desk staff was friendly and gave us the exact location and time of room we requested. The breakfast, except for the "plastic scrambled eggs" was good, with the hostess, I think her name was Charlotte, being the best we've encountered. This place would easily rated an ""excellent" from me... but then there was the noise!

Have stayed a few times at this hotel, never an issue. Rooms clean, breakfast area neat and clean. Overall good experience.

Watch carefully or you will miss the sign for this hotel that is perched on top of a hill (with several others) for nice sunset views. The decor is....odd, but very cheerful. Our suite made us wish that we were spending more time there to enjoy the living room, TWO TV's, kitchen, etc. (that's a standard room!) The 2 double bedroom area was a bit cramped. We had to scoot past each other to get to the closet or bathroom. Very few drawers for unpacking clothes, but a big closet with shelves.

The heated indoor pool and whirlpool tub were SO welcome after all the driving we had done this weekend! And it wasn't a wimpy "spa tub" - it had JETS! Best feature of the hotel, in my opinion!

Breakfast was well stocked and supervised by an attendant who was happy to help people use the waffle maker. There were the usual coffees, juices, cereals, breads, muffins, fruits, also waffles, sausage, egg, and -unusual - a crockpot of oatmeal with raisins, nuts and brown sugar available to season (guess what I had?) The couches in the lobby area, a shady table area, and a very sunny conference room area were available for seating the many breakfasters. There was an AARP conference going on, so the hotel was packed, but we had no problems - even found a parking spot.

There were plenty of shops and restaurants near by - even a tempting Carrabas in the parking lot - but we were headed downtown, and that is only a mile or so away.

This is more than I would normally spend on a hotel to "crash" in, but I had a gift card. The quality is definitely there and if you book at least 3 weeks(?) out, the rates seem better. It's a room you could spend some time in.
