Clarion Pointe Biltmore Village

8/10 Good
"Great location – especially if you’re visiting the Biltmore. While the website says it is walkable, it is not pedestrian friendly to walk to the Biltmore. The room we had was facing the highway and there were a couple of sirens late at night-so if you are a light sleeper, get a room away from the road Staff very helpful and pleasant – breakfast was great – really enjoyed the waffles"

"Top notch hotel in the heart of downtown Asheville! Absolutely amazing front desk and overall staff. Truly a gem of a place that I’d highly recommend! The grove arcade and essentially all of the major areas of downtown are within a 1 mile radius. Great views of the mountains and a solid gym as well! There are so many nearby parking areas as well if you don’t want to pay the valet cost."
