The location was perfect and the rooms were clean. It is very dated but It's a great choice for someone on a budget.

You can't beat the location for the cost per night. We lucked out and got the last parking spot in an overflow lot.
Hotel is dated but you can tell they are upgrading rooms and they are generally clean.

The location was great and walkable to many places.
Very outdated rooms and bathrooms. Breakfast was free but not fresh.

Location downtown is excellent, the breakfast is as expected and rooms always clean.
Reception looks a little tired.

Price-value okay, but that’s it.
Very small parking lot.
Rooms wasn’t prepared as we booked it (3 towels for 4 persons). We had to picked it up by ourselves from the reception.
Quite Noisy A/C.
The overall impression of the hotel's condition was not good. There were defects and holes in the ceiling. The elevator made strange noises... luckily, we didn't get stuck.

The free continental breakfast is always great. Thank you! The location is right in the middle of everything downtown.
I was not a where that my room would not be cleaned and towels would not be gathered during my stay.

Great price. Great Location. Clean. We’ve been staying here for years, keep coming back.
City side rooms have traffic noise.

Location is the only thing this place has going for it. Period.
It was gorss. Room wasn't clean. I felt weird in the bed because of all the obviously not clean parts of the room. The elevator was messed up. The entry way was gross and dirty. Parking was horrible. Just overall one of the worst hotels I have stayed at in decades. Gross. Never again.

Location was great. Inn was within walking distance of restaurants, bars and entertainment. We even got to watch the Christmas parade from the balcony.
The noise from the traffic was terrible. I have always lived in a city so usually this doesn't bother me. However, motorcycles and trucks appeared to be racing from stop light to stop light. I'm not sure why law enforcement didn't intervene.

Great location! Amazing value, rooms are comfortable and clean! I did not partake in any breakfast accommodations but I did like that breakfast was available until the later morning. All the staff I interacted with were very kind and always had a smile.
Honestly I was expecting everything to be worse? I read some questionable reviews online but was kind of excited to speak with "the girl at the front desk that pops her gum in your face" haha! But I never had a bad interaction! Things were in much nicer condition than some of the reviews said. Just goes to show how little people read and how upset they get when things aren't up to their unrealistic standards. If I could make one recommendation, the wheels are the housekeeping carts are quite loud especially on the tile floors. I understand having the floors redone with a smoother material is costly and not worth it to fix a bit of noise. However, I think changing the wheels on the carts themselves to a rubber or composite would help reduce noise at a much lower price point! That would literally be my only complaint of my entire stay! I shall be back!

If you are ok with walking a few to five or ten minutes to pretty much everything in downtown Asheville this place is for you. During the weekend I stayed the only uber we had to take was to dinner in west Asheville. Amazing location. It is a bit aged and the parking lot, yes can be difficult to maneuver but hello it’s free. Bang for your buck 10/10
It could use a renovation but overall there was nothing I didn’t like
5.0 / 10.0
The rooms were very nice and clean! And a nice size for one person
The lobby was dismal and looked terrible and the breakfast was extremely lacking so I went out and ate downtown
5.0 / 10.0
Location and staff are great
This is a tried and true “motel”. Rooms are street facing directing only an intersection with a street light. Great for being in the center of things. Bad for noise. You get what you get! It was fine. No one broke in.
4.0 / 10.0
Location was great, we could walk to downtown area in minutes.
Front Desk gal was unfriendly and staff really didn't engage with clients. Room was rundown and blanket, (1) was very thin and had to use blanket from other bed. Electrical outlets with power bar looked unsafe.

Location is top notch, comfortable bed, clean room, water fountain
More protein options for the breakfast
7.0 / 10.0
Convenient location for the concert I was going to. Friendly staff. Fresh food at breakfast. Room was clean and well-stocked.
Could have had more options for breakfast, elevator was kind of scary and overall building could be better in that kind of neighborhood.
7.0 / 10.0
great location. very short walk to downtown and about 20 min walk to River Arts District. Would stay there again
Breakfast was nothing special. Bagels, cereal, etc.
a little run down but rooms were clean and comfortable.

Location. Location. Location. There’s no place you can stay in Asheville at this price point that is walking distance to all the fun stuff to do in Asheville.
It’s a dated motel. This is not all bad, because it had a real retro feel to it, which is kind of cool.
10.0 / 10.0
I liked the cleanliness, affordable, retro, well maintained, location. Will return.
No complaints / didn't like the florescent lighting in the room. I prefer warm lighting.
5.0 / 10.0
It's out of date by a generation or two, but they are doing what they can to maintain it.
Since room doors come off the exterior corridors, the street noise from cars is high. They have arranged overflow parking nearby but it wasn't great in the rain.

The sweet young woman at the front desk is what we liked the most! She was very kind, informative, and when I asked her for recommendations of yummy restaurants in the area, we took her up on her suggestions, and she hit the nail on the head- her restaurant choice was quite right for us!
And to get to meet her little baby girl, Olivia, was like putting the cherry on top- she's such a gorgeous baby!
The water pressure in the shower wasn't real strong; but the bed was comfy; also, the fridge and microwave could use a well needed upgrade....
10.0 / 10.0
I stay here pretty regularly and I have never been let down. The staff is just wonderful and they always make me feel like home. It is an older hotel but you can definitely tell that they care about it and keep it maintained properly. It was very clean and everything worked great. Love it here!
Nothing as usual

location, breakfast, checkout time, comfy bed
the fact that it is a motel and opens to the outside, loud at night
7.0 / 10.0
Great location, very clean, big rooms with a proper fridge and microwave! Housekeeping must be doing a great job keeping such old interiors 100 clean, well done!!!
It feels a little sketchy / rough, the decor everywhere is very dated albeit perfectly clean! One whole wall of the room is actually a window so you need to keep the curtains fully closed unless you want neighbours to see you full body… so the room gets dark because of this.
7.0 / 10.0
The bed was very comfortable--mattress was new and thick, covers and sheets were in great shape and pretty new. The room was clean and, unlike many hotels, quiet and dark at night. Lobby bathrooms were very clean and breakfast area was clean and staff was making fresh coffee, stocking, and wiping up very frequently.
The building is older and the public areas--entry, lobby, breakfast room, elevator, stairways--are definitely in need of updating and freshening.

The most pet friendly motel I've been to. The staff was truly excited to see my pet as well as the other guest pets. They had treats ready.
Rooms could use some updates as in newer carpet. One of the elevators was broken.

Front desk was nice. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Location was good too.
This couldn't be help but there were street racers on the highway next to the hotel and it kept me up all night.

Good location in a walkable and interesting downtown, pleasant and helpful staff, breakfast, nice room.

Very nice young woman at the front desk checked us in. The hotel was worn but clean. The location was great for walking downtown. We never needed to move our car.
Another outlet close to the bed would have been nice. While cleaner than most hotels I’ve been in lately, I did encounter a stray hair or two.

Location is great. Staff is very friendly. It is a true motel. You get what you pay for, but it’s clean and safe and a great value for a guy trip. (Would not bring my wife there.)

Wow—this was such a gem for our family to find! The hotel was located within walking distance of so many charming shops and restaurants. We requested a mountain view, and the hotel truly delivered—floor-to-ceiling windows with an incredible view. Yes, it’s an older hotel, but it’s clearly well loved. The staff were amazing and so helpful. I honestly can’t believe we got this hotel for the price we did.

The variety at breakfast was nice. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean. I love the location, perfect to walk around downtown. My daughter and I liked the pool every afternoon.
6.0 / 10.0
You stay here for the location. It walkable to everything. There is a small pool if you want to enjoy that. The breakfast is standard continental hotel style. Parking is free. The staff was lovely.
The room was very old and dated. It wasn’t very clean, there were spills not wiped up from the prior stay and hair in the fridge. The bed was decent in terms of comfort. The place could use a deep clean, some paint, and new carpet. Would we stay here again, probably not.
