Nothing Special.
The hotel had a couple issues when I checked in. The elevator was out during my entire 6 day stay. The gym was under renovation, so it could not be used. On the day of check out, housekeeping walked in on me and my guest as we came out of the shower, without knocking first. I asked maintenance to look at the bathroom fan that was very loud, but nothing was done.

Poor Value
The photos listed on this site do not represent the hotel at all. This hotel was dated, dirty and just plain worn out. The elevator was out of service on 2 separate days during my stay. The price was waaaayyyyyy to much for what you get. The staff was friendly, but that is about it.

Okay hotel
Hotel wasnt bad, i was escaping flooding in asheville. It was just me and my small dog, that I had to pay an $86 fee for. They put me in a room directly across from the front desk, and everytime my dog heard someone, they barked. So not a peaceful stay by any means, i think i got woken uo every hour or so. Overall, the 1 night stay cost around $250. Highly disappointed, but at least i was able to shower.

My hotel room had a very funny smile, I had to go buy air freshener to stay. The exterior door to get into the building rarely works. The room door specifically room 136 doesn’t close easily. You have to lift the door to get it into place.
