I had a wonderful week in this hotel that combined comfort with excellent service. The rooms were spacious and very well maintained, providing a relaxing space after exploring the nearby attractions. The dining options for breakfast were decent, but I felt there was room for more variety. The pool area was small but enjoyable. Overall, it's a great choice for anyone visiting the Asheville area, though the breakfast could use an upgrade.
