Top hotels in North Downtown
TownePlace Suites by Marriott Asheville Downtown
Surprise $15/day parking fee was disappointing, especially since the lot was empty. Fold-out couch for our 3rd occupant was heavy to deploy and uncomfortable & it was a bit of a puzzle arranging the furniture around it when opened. Otherwise, one of the better places I’ve stayed.
