Renaissance Asheville Downtown Hotel
Clean room with a comfy bed and a view of the city. Check In was smooth with a friendly reception. The hotel itself was also within walking distance to shops and restaurants, which is a big plus. The included breakfast was just a continental thing, so we went elsewhere.

Aloft Asheville Downtown
It was great and convenient for us since we didn’t have a car during our stay. We could walk around downtown Asheville and uber was 20 min from AVL and 15 min to Biltmore.

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Downtown Asheville
Breakfast was only open until 9 am. I forgot to ask the time for breakfast and staff didn’t inform us so we missed it☹️
