Great hotel stay with friendly helpful staff and clean, comfortable and quiet rooms. And it’s walkable to the main streets of downtown Asheville which makes it an ideal hotel to stay at. It’s location can’t be beat.

I really enjoyed my three nights; price point, staff service, just the whole vibe of a busy hotel.
I only really marked down a category because the place has a somewhat dated but sophisticated feel to it (spacious rooms with lovely views with ‘popcorn style ceilings’) …
Generous room service was nice (lots of towels) and even fun to just people-watch in the grand lobby and listen to the front-desk staff accommodate just about every customer; this place goes above & beyond!
Highly recommend a stay here while in downtown Asheville!

We liked its proximity to downtown, and the bed was very comfortable. The HVAC unit in the room was on the border of being too noisy, and the bar was lacking basic mixtures for cocktails.

My husband and I was there for our 1st honeymoon and 3rd anniversary because wasn't able to go have one due death and illness in both sides of our families. We had such a a wonderful and beautiful experience thay we could ever hope for!! We will be returning soon. Everyone at the hotel was super nice, genuine, and gracious to us while we were there. I would dare give this experience less than a five. The should have ten stars! If no one else will, my husband and I sure will!! Overall great experience overall! Thank you all so much for making our extra wonderful and beautiful one! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐We can't wait to come back and explore and experience more of this wonderful city❤️❤️

Not as nice as other renaissance hotels but good enough. Elevators were horribly slow, not sure if they were being worked on. This spot doesn’t use Aveda which I would expect. Very walkable to downtown.
