Red Roof Inn Asheville - Biltmore West
"The room was not real clean, the floor was sticky and the bathtub looked dirty, the linens on the bed looked clean but I questioned the pillow cases! The bathroom was tiny! The experience was not terrible but a cleaner room would have been nice!"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Asheville West near Biltmore
"We stayed two nights here while moving our daughter to the area. The room was not cleaned after the first night and it was so late when we got back, we didn't say anything about it. I reserved this hotel since it got good reviews - not sure why..."

Smoky Falls Lodge
The Terrace at Lake Junaluska
Jonathan Creek Inn
"The beds and room were nice, although the ceramic tile floor had marring that made it look dirty. The water closet/shower room was too small! My husband couldn’t close the door when he was in the toilet. The toilet paper didn’t have a holder and the spare paper holder was rusty."
