Great location in downtown Asheville. Make sure to check out nearby Old Europe Pastries, which I think we visited every day. Rooms are spacious, and we loved having a full kitchen. Staff was incredibly helpful and welcoming. There was some noticeable outside street noise as you might expect with any historical building, but it wasn't too bad. Parking was in a nearby lot that was easy to get to.

We had the most spectacular and beautiful time during our 3 night stay. The entire hotel staff went above and beyond to make our 15 year anniversary special. Shout out to Micheal in particular, who provided amazing recommendations, spent extra time chatting about the local history and made us feel at home. I would highly recommend staying here and would come Bach should I find myself in Asheville again.
