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
Room was nice and beds were amazingly comfortable. Hotel was 500 feet away from The Orange Peel where we were heading. The only grumble I have is about the parking garage and the elevators. Very confusing.
