This is an honest assessment of this property. The immediate impression was…you have to be kidding me. The outside appearance was poor at best. The “lobby” was not any better. I certainly did not have any expectations for the room itself. That said, the room was small but well equipped. It was clean, neat and maintained. The beds were comfortable. The shower was good with adequate hot water. The air conditioner was exceptionally quiet. My only issue with the room was that it was overlooking Patton Avenue which, on a Friday night, was unbelievably noisy until 1:00AM. It was impossible to go to sleep because of the excessive noise. The best thing this hotel has going for it is the location and its closeness to the downtown area. This hotel would be a gem in the rough if it only appeared more inviting. It certainly is a bargain for the budget minded traveler.

I notified them early that I was on a red eye flight and it was delayed. They still felt the need to charge my account. They did provide me a refund. The breakfast is a continental which is lousy anywhere you go at best so when the waffle batter was watered down and chunky of mold looking I wasn’t impressed. Day two the bartered was remedied yet the coffee was cold. It is what it is. Staff was friendly and help fortunately.

This guest did stay with us for one night. The statement that she was charged mulitple times is not true. The guest was only charged one time for her stay. We tried to explain this to the guest many times, but we have not been successful in convincing her that she was only charged one time.

I liked the property and especially the customer service of the first front desk agent who checked me inn. The rooms are nice, clean, bed was comfortable, shower was clean. When the hotel is busy, guest use overflow parking because the normal parking is small. The area gave me a feeling of not being very safe at night but nothing happened to me and the downtown is really conveniently close by, so maybe it was just my impression. I liked my stay and will come back when I return to Asheville.

Front desk reception was courteous and helpful! But I learned that you do get what you pay for. The location can’t be beat, but the building itself and rooms are pretty rundown. So if you’re Ballin’ on a Budget and want to be smacked downtown Asheville…. this is your place.

Staff was friendly, parking was packed and not ideal so there was an overflow to a neighboring store's parking lot that you had to be out of by a certain time. You are right by the road so loud cars, other guests must screaming with no real managing, and there is a walk signal by the road that beeps all night, nonstop, on the outter balcony side. So just be prepared that it's a possibility. Clean rooms, nice staff, walking distance to a lot, decent prices, so you get what you pay for. For one night, I'd probably go back for the convenience.

You get what you pay for but even 100 is too much for this place. Walls are paper thin could hear the people next door who were super loud and drunk till 3 am. We asked to be moved and they said they wouldn’t move us but would talk to them and never did. Also the hotel itself and our room just felt super dated, kind of gross and not cozy. We told ourselves we just needed a place to rest and doesn’t need to be fancy but it was just not worth it in the end. Spent my last night in a diff hotel for 45 bucks more and it was way better and quieter. The only redeeming thing is the staff was nice overall. But will not go again.
