The staff is very friendly and responsive. Carpeting in my room was dated, sliding bathroom door was off its track and one of the curtains was off its track. However, they came right away to fix the bathroom door and offered me a new room because the curtain had to come down and wouldn't be replaced that day. I also wish they had a note in the bathroom about not having to change the towels. I was only staying 2 nights and didn't need to have fresh towels. Lastly, it costs $25 per night to park your car. Seems excessive to me.

Return to Asheville

This was a return trip for us exactly one year from our first stay. Booked for the location because we were in town for Billy Strings weekend! Walkable to everything including the concert venue. We were worried about how things would be considering the enormous damage to the RAD from Helene but the hotel was in great shape. A few suites were blocked off due to damage but all other amenities were available. The Writer’s Bistro was wonderful as usual. Thanks for hosting us and we’ll see you next time Billy is in town.

We were disappointed that the pool is closed for renovations. It did not state that on the website when booking the room.
