The pool was very small and the hot tub was not operating. The outside area - parking lot, neighboring properties - seemed a little sketchy, no easy way to walk to nearby restaurants except through various parking lots. The rooms were in good shape, the staff was pleasant.

Very good location for Asheville. Only about 1.5 miles from downtown. Outback restaurant adjacent to the parking lot. A lot of construction work being done with a crane in front of the building, but it wasn't bad. The staff was great and the room was spacious and clean. Good breakfast included each morning. I liked the property and I would definitely recommend this Holiday Inn.
