Amazing hotel! Warm greeting and great drinks at their cocktail bar. Room was beautiful, elegant and I loved the decor. Breakfast was included and absolutely wonderful, loved the overnight oats & frittata. Will definitely be returning! My only slight complaint was that the steps walking down to Biltmore Ave. were steep, uneven and no handrail. I didn’t have any issues with them but it felt a little treacherous any time we had to use them.

Kind, helpful staff. Real thought put into the finishes with integration of local art. Stayed in Magnolia and loved the tub. Nice to have parking on site since street parking is real tight. A free breakfast is also included and they provide all local food, which was delicious. Bed was more 4 star than 5 but overall great stay!
