The host who checked us into the hotel was smiling, informative, had a sense of humor, and showed hospitality as if he were inviting us into his home. The breakfast buffet was excellent, as was the service. The rooms were huge and comfortable - also immaculately clean. What an excellent place to rest after clearing out my husband's parents' home. Thank you, Holiday Inn, East Asheville - Blue Ridge Parkway!

The hotel room and facilities were great. We had dinner at their restaurant and it was very good. The reservation didn’t include breakfast, which they charge $17 per person for a buffet that was halfway empty. I understand we are in a low season, but I felt like it was overcharged. One of the cheese danishes had mold on it. I will recommend everything BUT the breakfast.

Only complaint is that it was not disclosed on expedia when i made the reservation that there is a pet fee. I didn't find out that it was an extra $100 until i checked in. It would've been helpful if the fee is added to the amount in the reservation when selecting a pet friendly room.

Facility was very nice for our 4 night stay. The staff was poor. We had no water for half a day, no apology from staff, no discount for that day. One day we were out all day and came back to find the room was not serviced. Again no apology, no offer to service the room, and the staff was rude.

Good chain, excellent hotel.
This was the fourth stay for my wife and me at this hotel, and we'll come back again. I've always found Holiday Inn to be a good brand, with whether it's slightly more than that or less than that based on the specific place you stay at. This hotel is excellent. Clean, good service, great breakfast, close to downtown (10-15 minute drive). Unfortunately, it can be hard to get an Uber... they don't come through there often, apparently, and they can be expensive when/if they do. So, we just resorted to driving. The only complaint was that the pillows were not the most comfortable, but, luckily, the mattress was good.
