Wonderful downtown boutique hotel
Pros:

Great location in walking distance to many downtown restaurants and galleries. Beautifully renovated group of buildings, with nice size suites, and all modern hotel conveniences without being a big faceless hotel. Very friendly helpful staff.

Cons:

Be sure to ask the staff about exactly how parking works and what to do if you get a notice from the parking management company. The parking is conveniently located right in front of the hotel, but unfortunately managed by a remote parking company "Air garage" that is either dreadfully incompetent (or possibly dishonest) in its operations....couldn't really determine. Hotel management is aware of the problem and trying to manage it.

Pros:

Loved the location. Right in the heart of Ashville. Wonderful room. Lot's of space! Like visiting a Victorian home in the city.

Cons:

I know they are a pain but would have liked to see a mini bar in the room. Also, some access to standard cable channels.

Our stay was exceptional!
Cons:

The biscuits and frittata weren't up to the standards of the rest of the breakfast. We loved the overnight oats and fresh berries as well as the banana bread.
