This is an older Holiday Inn but kept very clean. Sheets and pillowcases were clean, soft and white! Very comfortable beds! I'm a big guy and the bed was soft but nice and firm! Plenty of large cushy pillows. Beware though of getting a room at the end of the building on the upper floors. The first room they put me in was the last room at the end of the hall and the water pressure was horrible and I mean like trickle style and it took forever to get hot! They were very kind and quick to move me just five rooms closer to the center of the same third floor and what a difference. Full pressure and very hot and I do mean very hot which I love! Be careful it does get really hot but it's easy to control. Better than most places I've stayed! Elevator is very quick up and down compared to most every 4 floor hotel I've stayed in. Breakfast was awesome. They serve it buffet style in the restaurant! Two types of scrambled eggs. One plain and one with spicy cheese and bacon over the top! Potato, biscuits and gravy! Small pancakes. Fresh fruits, bagels and bananas! Just a ton of stuff to choose from! The restaurant serves several local Beers from the area. Restaurant food was good. Fresh salad with chicken was really good and burgers were decent! Staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The lobby is cozy with fireplace and custom made rockers that were wonderful. If they sold them I would have bought right then, lol. Can't say enough about this place. You can tell the place is aged but they keep it very nice. Wireless internet access is really good as well. Only thing they could improve on is the lighting in the parking lot! The lot does sit behind the hotel and the hotel is high on hill but the parking lot light is basically around the lot and none in the middle but it's not to bad. All in all a hidden gem in Asheville and a nice place to stay.
