“Hampton Inn does it again: great value, exceptional hotel”
I stayed at this hotel both before and after an Outward Bound trip in the area, one night each. On both occasions I was extremely pleased with my visit. I greatly appreciated the quick and free shuttle service from the airport....only a 5-minute ride. My rooms were well appointed and very clean, and the bed with its variety of pillows lushly comfortable. Roomy bathroom, too. Staff friendly and attentive. The lobby has a luxurious feel, with a complimentary computer/printer station, and there is a lovely patio as well as a pool/jacuzzi area for outside sitting. The complimentary continental breakfast is one of the best I've seen....plenty of room to move easily between the cold options (fresh fruit, cereals, yogurts, juices, muffins, pastries) and the hot options (self-made waffles, toast, bagels, oatmeal). The food was fresh and refilled well; large area for sitting at tables. There is a Ruby Tuesday's restaurant right next-door. Cab service to downtown Asheville was about a 20-25 minute ride, with a rather hefty pricetag of $75....but as a solo woman traveler, I felt well taken care of and dropped off/picked up from an easy central park location. The delightful walking city is well worth exploring. I would highly recommend staying at this hotel with confidence.
