With a brownstone-like vibe, it's a great little spot with individual character.... Very clean & central to many Asheville icons, also. Be prepared for the fact that there are no elevators as it is an older building. So, if you happen to get a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor, you will burn a few calories. I love that it is keyless entry both to the main door and to the room. My room was on the 3rd floor, but it was nice, because the view looked more into the treetops. As for the view, in general it's not exactly a great.... facing the highway on one side of the building, & the parking lot on the other, but I didn't mind. I did mind how loud the passing cars are even though the highway was some distance away. They provide a couple of sets of earplugs, and a sound machine which helped. However, if you're sensitive to sound, just be aware. Also, while each room does have a small kitchenette with a small fridge, there is no freezer or ice provision. I would hope that someday they would put at least one ice machine and possibly even a water refill machine on one of the floors. Also, it would be nice if they offered recycling. They were great with communication. One last note though is that they appear to be quite strict about late check out. I tend to get at least a noon, if not later check out at almost every hotel I've stayed at for years, and they were very firm about the 11. That may be the only thing that would hold me back from staying there again.
