Holiday Inn Express & Suites Asheville SW - Outlet Ctr Area by IHG
Room was clean. Shower door did not close resulting in a wet bathroom floor. The negative was that the room had an overwhelming and distracting cleaning product smell. The breakfast was plentiful , hot and a nice variety of fresh breakfast items. Staff is friendly.
