Top Ridgecrest Hotel Reviews

Renaissance Asheville Downtown Hotel

8/10 Good

"Overall I beautiful hotel in a good, walkable area. It was quiet and safe with plenty of shops and restaurants you could walk to easily. I would probably not recommend the hotel restaurant. The people were super friendly but the breakfast was just mediocre for an expensive price."

Brookstone Lodge near Biltmore Village, an Ascend Collection Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good location - adjacent to town Good quiet stay. Liked the mattress - pillows Fair price Nice pool Will stay again"

Clarion Pointe Biltmore Village

8/10 Good

"The property is close to the Biltmore Estate and Blue Ridge Pkwy access. Nice area. Appeared very clean and has several updates in relation to the probable age and basics of the motel property. AC in good working order. Literally a short walk to the very popular Texas Roadhouse. Some drawbacks that may be good to know. My room faced a busy street and the door could use some additional insulation. Picked up a lot of street noise. The parking lot is tight."
