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.
