Moxy Asheville Downtown
If you head into the garage from the back side you need to go up a couple levels to check in. Not a lot of signage to help you figure it out c other than that, awesome staff, location and room.

The Restoration Asheville
First, the staff was very welcoming and friendly for our two day stay. In addition, the area near the hotel is prime for a low key vibe, surrounded by good choices of food and live entertainment.
