Anniversary trip
Pros:

The hotel was in the heart of Asheville and was adorable. It was beautiful on the inside with some old charm. The valets are super attentive when you arrive. They not only were there to park our car but they even helped us with getting our belongings on the cart and in the hotel. The check in process was super easy and efficient. The rooms were enormous, comfortable, and quiet. Would absolutely recommend.

Why not upgrade your guests?
Pros:

We had a nice room

Cons:

We booked a room w 2 queens. We were the ONLY guests there (after ice storm - city was closed). We were told the only rooms available were on the 2nd floor and looked out into a dark alley. The smell of the room was not good. If we wanted a room on the other side with light, we needed to pay a $50 upgrade. We did.

A relaxing winter weekend.
Pros:

The room s are absolutely beautiful in their period decor.

Cons:

There is now a bar with live music until around 11pm and it was quite loud in the room. Also the hotel gym treadmill was in bad shape with a slipping tread. Felt like walking on ice.

Pros:

Size of the rooms, value, and the staff were incredible!

Cons:

Our key cards deactivated after dinner and we had to get them reactivated. They said it happens all of the time so certainly an inconvenience that could be addressed.

Really liked this hotel!
Pros:

Location is fantastic - right in the middle of downtown; love the vintage building with nods to its former life as a department store. The sparkling wine at reception was a nice touch.

A luxurious room, a hotel steeped in history, and an unbeatable location — we could not have asked for more.
Pros:

A beautiful, historic hotel in the heart of Asheville — walkable to everything. Our room was incredibly spacious and comfortable. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Cons:

We were not aware that there would be a $20 charge for parking. Perhaps this could be included more prominently in the listing.
