This is pretty much exactly as it is described. Pluses: right downtown. Lots of restaurants in walking distance. It was quiet to me, despite other reviews of being noisy. Place was clean and people very friendly. The only not so great thing I have to say is that when I came in, Friday evening around 6 or so, finding a place to park, just to unload my luggage and clothes, was almost non existent . I parked in the Loft Hotel parking garage while I stayed in Asheville, but didn’t want to drag my luggage and hanging clothes several blocks from the parking garage. Although there are signs everywhere saying not to do this, I ended up just parking in the health food co-op parking lot next door for like 3 minutes, while I brought my stuff to the room and got my key. That was a bit of a hassle, to be honest. However, everything else was comfortable, clean, and peaceful. I feel like I made a good choice by staying here. Would definitely recommend it.
