Staying at Chicken Alley left us with mixed emotions. Although we liked the place, very large space with beautiful modern decor, the hot water did not work in the shower and the problem was not fixed right away. We stayed 4 nights and we did not have a shower 2 of the 4 nights. A plumber finally came on day 3, arriving 20 minutes late. The problem was fixed in half an hour and was an easy fix. The delay on day 3 made us late to our Biltmore reservation. Putting all of this aside, the location is within walking distance to restaurants, shops and a grocery store coop. The parking space right outside was a nice convenience.
