Pros:

Schöne Anlage, gut gelegen, Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Sehr gutes Frühstück. Immer wieder gerne.

Cons:

Der Fahrstuhl war sehr langsam und geräuschvoll. Wir hatten das Gefühl, dass sich auch Nichthotelgäste am Frühstücksbüffet bedient haben , es wurde nicht kontrolliert.

Shocked at pet charge!
Pros:

Nice, new hotel and very clean. Well designed room with good bed. Good breakfast and friendly staff. Parking garage available (first come, first serve). Nice pet area.

Cons:

Our room was just a few yards of I-240 on one side and Tunnel Road on the other side. The result was a very noisy room. Also, we were shocked at a pet charge of almost $150 for a three-night stay. We have never paid this much before, most hotels we have used are $15 to $25 per day with a maximum of $50 and up to $100 in one hotel. $50 daily is an outrageous amount to pay. We will not be staying here again.

Modern euro-style hotel on outskirts of downtown Asheville
Pros:

Hotel is a modern facility on the edge of downtown. Design of the rooms and common spaces is very European and generally very nice. The room was small but well-equipped with a small kitchenette area (coffeemaker, microwave, fridge, sink, some plates/cups and utensils provided). The second floor had a big common area where breakfast was served, which also had places to lounge at other times. There was also a roof terrace on the 7th floor. A free shuttle was provided on weekend nights to get back and forth from downtown Ashville, and the driver was great.

Cons:

The breakfast is a cut above the standard US business hotel (there was fresh fruit, a good yoghurt offering, juice) but the hot offerings were the standard dry scrambled eggs and mystery sausage pucks. There were some special items (e.g. pancakes, french toast, breakfast tostadas) out under warming lamps, but they weren't hot by the time we got to them, which was pretty early. My wife found our room to be too noisy with two busy roads nearby, but I slept fine.

Nice place. Probably would choose not to stay again.
Pros:

It was clean and updated.

Cons:

No restaurant or bar in case you choose to stay in. Very limited parking. I parked outside in a neighboring lot and was charged $12 by the hotel for parking.
