This was close to Omni for a conference, clean, nice staff, evening wine and snacks, and excellent breakfast included. Breakfast was menu item choices easily worth 15-20$ and not just a buffett of danishes like some places. Room was comfy and clean. Highly recommend. Great value!

I really enjoyed my room at this inn. They gave us an upgrade so we were in a small suite with a kitchen, a living room, and a bathroom with a claw-foot tub. The hotel is historic and charming, so your expectations of a room here should be aligned with that. It’s not a brand new chain hotel with the latest decorating trends, it’s a charming older property with the types of quirks you would expect from something this age. I thought the breakfasts were excellent and it felt like a bed-and-breakfast from that aspect. It’s really close to downtown, but we ended up driving in most days instead of walking. You could definitely walk it though. Access to the Blue Ridge Parkway was very close by, too. Parking is plentiful here, and free. There was a lot in the back with and more parking on the street. I would definitely come back here. I think it’s an ideal place for a couple or a girls weekend.

Lovely place. Just bring your own towels.
The location in itself is lovely. The building is beautiful and clean. The folks working at the location are lovely. The breakfast was delicious (and I’m picky!) You will have to drive or Uber downtown, otherwise it’s a 30-45 minute walk depending on where you’re going. It’s also not the most pleasant walk as you would have to cross busy, multi lane roads to get to downtown. It’s important to mention that there is a bakery, deli, and some other shop just a block or so away Incase downtown isn’t your thing and you’re looking for something quick, there are options. The neighborhood is quiet and I felt safe walking around. I My only complaints are the following. The bed sunk in the middle, making it not the most comfortable. We were on the second floor and you could loudly hear every footstep the people above you took. (If you stay here just cross your finger the people above you are late sleepers, you’re early risers, or you bring ear plugs, which the hotel provides.) Next, all of the towels strongly smelt like mildew. Even after replacing them the next day, they still smelt terrible. Finally, in our bathroom, there was a rather large area of ceiling above the toilet the has bubbled from moisture. And can you guess what was around it? You got it, black mold. Overall, I would stay again but only if I were on a top floor and brought my own towels.

Thank you for your stay with us, we are glad you enjoyed our historic property, peaceful location and tasty breakfast! We apologize that you had issues with your room as that is not up to our standards. The bathroom ceiling leak has been tested and it is not black mold; there is a repair scheduled. The bed frame has been replaced and the towel situation rectified with our housekeeping staff. We appreciate your feedback and your stay with us and hope you will give us another chance in the future.

Perfect historic hotel in Asheville!
If you are looking outside the mass brand hotels in Asheville, the Princess Anne hotel is the place to stay! This quaint historic hotel has 16 rooms that are super clean and the breakfast is amazing too! Acorn and Jenni were super helpful making my business stay amazing! Will definitely come back! Book early because this 16 room hotel books up months in advance!

I recently took my family to the Princess Anne and cannot recommend this venue more highly. The facility is charming, historical, convenient, friendly staffing and extremely well maintained. The morning breakfast is more than adequate, friendly service and several options available. All in all this is a gem of a property and highly recommended for the traveler seeking a unique venue that is not cookie cutter.

Super Staff Super Stay
There is really no place to begin but the front door! Absolutely one of the best Hotel experiences ever. There are bears in the area so be on the look out. Our little Jack Russell alerted us one night after an evening walk. Sure enough there was, in back by the trash cans, an enormous bear. Back to the wonderful staff. If the mountains have an effect on you then imagine how those who are imersed in such beauty all the time. My Hat is even off to the person or animal that tested the fire alarm on our first night visit at 4:00am the next morning..

It was quant enough for an historic building but the grounds were not very well kept outdoor. The manager reception was great. Many choices on the food selection and wine pairings and offerings were great. The made to order breakfast was okay. Nothing special but still a treat for the visitors to have on location and included in the price. I would recommend and stay there again if given a chance.

Nice quaint old building. I enjoyed the squeaky floors, until the person above walked around much of the night. Great breakfast and afternoon wine and hors d’oeuvres. Close enough to downtown that it could be walked in about 15 minutes. Highly recommended.

We loved our stay at Princess Anne and would highly recommend staying here to others. The hotel is a charming old building set in a residential neighborhood. There was a small parking lot as well as street parking. From the moment we checked in to the moment we checked out, we were treated like family. Our room was adorable...very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was amazing and worth going back for. They also provided wine and appetizers in the late afternoon, which was a nice touch. I would say the Princess Anne does a great job with the little details....fresh flowers on the breakfast tables, bakery items for guests in the sitting room, caramels on the bed, etc. They really know how to host guests. We would love to go back!
