Our new favorite place to stay in Asheville!

Liked:We loved the Paradise Suite. Beautifully decorated, very quiet bedroom, private front porch.

Disliked:Using an app to pay for parking was not pleasant. It would be much easier to just bill it to the room.

Wonderful downtown boutique hotel

Liked:Great location in walking distance to many downtown restaurants and galleries. Beautifully renovated group of buildings, with nice size suites, and all modern hotel conveniences without being a big faceless hotel. Very friendly helpful staff.

Disliked:Be sure to ask the staff about exactly how parking works and what to do if you get a notice from the parking management company. The parking is conveniently located right in front of the hotel, but unfortunately managed by a remote parking company "Air garage" that is either dreadfully incompetent (or possibly dishonest) in its operations....couldn't really determine. Hotel management is aware of the problem and trying to manage it.
