Hilton Garden Inn - Asheville South
Everything was great! I requested 3 rooms on the same floor, it wasn't a guarantee that I would get them, but we did. Staff was very friendly. I loved the outdoor area with the firepits! That was great! The only thing I thought was disappointing was breakfast was not free.

Hampton Inn & Suites Asheville Biltmore Area
Hotel was clean and comfortable. The room was exemplary. The main issue was lack of items during breakfast time. Primarily Sunday morning there were several empty spots. For example no orange juice, apple juice, bagels, muffins and fresh omelette. I was at breakfast around 9 so didn’t arrive ...
